This comment (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19435419 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19435419), states that according to NZ law, the video was "born illegal." [1]

- ng12 8y agoThat's why I said "retroactively declared illegal".
- CharlesColeman 8y agoI took the comment to mean that there's a set of criteria that makes all matching videos illegal from when they're created, not just from when an authority declares the video matches the criteria (which could just be viewed as confirmation).
