The best way to ensure there is no "copyright infringement" would be to shut off Youtube altogether and make sure nobody can see a "music video" without paying a subscription. Other than that, they should assume their content is accessible from any device which was exactly their original intention. The duplicitous attitude of music executives is that they even pay radios to play some songs in loops to turn public attention to them, but then cry wolf when people need tools to see/listen to them as they want. There are so many great artists that we don't know about because they are struggling to be "discovered" beyond the music industry streamroller... edit: typos

  Not my industry so I don't know but it has been illegal for a long time in the US... and they were still doing it in 2007: https://usatoday30.usatoday.com/money/economy/2007-04-13-2144814802_x.htm https://usatoday30.usatoday.com/money/economy/2007-04-13-214... Also probably going on elsewhere where it is still legal. Looks like shilling NFTs has a precedent after all!
