Surprised Google don't detect white noise, and stop if being copyrighted, if for no other reason than the bad publicity this generates.

  From their perspective, the purpose of the platform is not to host white noise. I could see them seeing white noise itself as such an extreme corner case as to be not defendable from their content identification. One could imagine a ddos of white noise in an attempt to overwhelm their system. (Devils advocate.)

    They let people upload video/audio, I'm sure their definition of corner case[0] is very narrow and I'm not sure this would qualify. It's really no different than computer generated music. [0] I don't think corner case is appropriate terminology in this discussion. I think it should be edge case. But even still, I don't think Google would think this is an edge case.

    Sure, but from a PR perspective, it should be easy enough to check for, and then this never happens again.
