- saaaaaam 3y agoNot only this, but the musical works contained within the video may not be public domain. I can’t tell whether he has replaced all of the audio or dubbed his version on top of existing music.
- JKCalhoun 3y agoPretty sure YouTube/Google have a notion of region and can selectively enforce copyright if they choose to.
- saaaaaam 3y agoYup, correct. And interestingly the article says it was in fact blocked from view in some territories. Which makes me think that the copyright claim is not actually about the video content but likely audio. So perhaps they have blocked in territories where the video is not yet public domain and there’s a copyright claim in the territory (USA) where some other copyright controlled element is causing an issue.
