I wonder if YouTube has a department that keeps track of what is coming into the public domain in which country at what date. Or will their systems be out of date and still flag copyright violations on this content?

Anecdotal evidence is they are still flagging this content. https://x.com/quijanophd/status/1741897926924726449?s=46&t=c6-JCDlzIsy1hic6KC12BQ https://x.com/quijanophd/status/1741897926924726449?s=46&t=c...

YouTube already doesn't validate copyright claims are valid - the DMCA makes even trying legally perilous, and YouTube's motivation to keep on good terms with the publishers goes even further. So in that regard, this changes nothing.

Considering the abuse of the automated dmca system, I imagine YouTube will continue to side with the publishers for a long while, even in cases of legitimate use. There’s way less liability in false positives than false negatives for them.

They've got no incentive to prioritize free use over protecting corporate interests. And evidence shows this holds in practice, when it's not necessary for them to. Welcome to "regulation by free market" (in other words, regulation by incumbent private interests)

  Which means governments need to incentivise such priorities. Find a government that promotes their citizens above neoptistic and/or commercial interests and I'm sure they'll get right on to it ...

    In my view that is not something a government does And I don't believe that progress happens by us imagining a rule toward a more perfect society and then government following to enact it

Quite a few claims on the internet that they're flagging content still.

Probably not. Youtubers can get copyright strikes for playing original interpretations of Bach or any other classical music that has been in the public domain for centuries. One example on top of my head comes from TwoSetViolin commenting on this issue: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TsMMG0EQoyI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TsMMG0EQoyI In their case, the issue was fixed, but I wonder if smaller channels get the same "benefit" or a human reviewer.
