For several months this problem seemed to have gone away, but now it's back. Over the past few days the knitting lady has shown up a couple of times, and now there's a new one. We see a Middle-Eastern or Mehrabian looking dude sitting at a laptop on a table. It looks and sounds as if he's reading something aloud from the screen, but he's a low talker and seems to mumble so I can't even tell what language he's speaking. It sounds like it might be French, which is why I said Mehrabian, i.e. someone who hails from western Mediterranean Africa historically controlled by France and where French is still used by millions of people today.

You could report it to whoever's content is being stolen. I doubt youtube acknowledges DMCA take downs from third-parties, so it would have to be the content owner that takes it down.
I supposes there is a small risk that you will be admitting to watching the content. Maybe mask your identity if you're worried, but I suspect that they won't go after someone who reports it.

Reporting it to YouTube is more effective than you think as they are concerned about liability issues if they don't take it down quickly. I would recommend reporting it.

I have never seen the knitting Lady, but I've seen a little girl doing (presumably) homework. In same instance there is a woman working in the kitchen and a man sitting in a straight backed chair that is against the wall.
This doesn't seem like some content to me. It's more like I'm viewing some people in their homes just doing daily life things. I've seen a couple guys shopping in a mall, I've seen what looks like a guy working on his computer. I've seen little girls coloring in a coloring book. Not riveting content by any means. More like an invasion of people's privacy. It's too creepy. How can I make it stop??

Moonbaby62 Those videos are ways to avoid censoring the channels because they are basically pirating or illegally providing those programs and as a way to earn income from the broadcast. I recommend reporting it directly to Youtube and they will remove it, eventually at least.
