I'm curious: is there a fair use argument for videos recording police activity in which the officer plays copyrighted music? I understand the intent is to trigger auto takedowns via something like ContentID, but beyond that would you be in the right, legally speaking, for uploading?
- batch12 5y agoEven if there were, it's you vs. the algorithm. You'd have to make your case and have someone manually overturn the judgement.
