Haven't seen the video (and the article had no link) but in my mind, the key differentiator would be is the music part of the natural ambient sound, or is it an overlaid soundtrack? It's a lot easier to assert fair use when it is part of the environment in which I'm making my home movie instead of a track I added in post to make the video.
There is a grey area where I am only capturing nat sound, but I have cued up the music specifically for the purpose the video.
- alexqgb 14y agoFrom the perspective of the recording industry, there is absolutely no ambiguity here. Whether you're synchronizing live or after the fact doesn't change the fact that you're synchronizing, and that right to do that is reserved by publishers. Selling that right is what they do for a living. I'm not saying this is right or wrong, smart or dumb. I'm just telling you that this is how they system actually works.
