With the FCC maybe, but someone far worse will be interested, the RIAA. It's copyright infringement by illegal broadcast.
- vel0city 2y agoIf it's intended for personal consumption it's fine. It's not copyright infringement to hear my neighbor's stereo if it's a bit loud. It is if he's using it commercially for hosting a block party selling tickets it's a problem.
- dmd 2y agoAh, but if your neighbor's stereo is faintly audible in the distance while you record a screencast, your video will get taken down off Youtube very quickly.
- thomquaid 2y agoThats because Youtube doesnt want to broadcast copyright work in any way as a courtesy for rights holders' trade groups that have asked, not because of regulatory or legal consequences though.
- vel0city 2y agoPosting it publicly to YouTube is no longer for personal consumption. Do it with a private video, it won't be taken down.
- dmd 2y agoThat’s not true. Why do you say that? Content id takes down private videos too.
- vel0city 2y agoApologies, I had done that in the past and it didn't get any copyright strikes despite using obviously copyrighted audio. I guess they've since changed their policies. From a copyright perspective there's no issue with uploading your own personal videos with copyrighted material in it to a site like YouTube so long as they're still private. I guess YouTube just assumes if you're uploading it there, you're going to eventually want to make it public. IMO they should just show the results of their scans to clue you into potential copyright claims but not actually do enforcement if the video isn't available publicly. Note: an unlisted video is still a public video.
- emsign 2y agoNah, don't kid yourself. Tech lik€ this is NOT fine. You're a douche if you deploy this. It may be technically interesting but just a dick move to use it.
- vel0city 2y agoI was just speaking from a copyright perspective here. If you're causing interference on your neighbor's radio you're causing a problem, fully agreed.
- zamalek 2y ago> It's copyright infringement by illegal broadcast. And I'd bet they would make a good attempt at fining you for each channel that you modulated for.
- JKCalhoun 2y agoSmall, low-power FM transmitters have been around even prior to Mr. Microphone. Hooking to your Hi-Fi so you can get your music on the radio in the garage is as old as Jarts.
- garbagewoman 2y agoWhy do you think they would be interested?
