This becomes a complicated discussion. In an img tag, a webp can degrade to gif, but that is not true of webm, which is not an image. And webp uses considerably less resources than webm. It's probably also an easier sell to the more pr

Precedent is very much against PhantomAlert. Such data simply isn't copyrightable. See Feist Publications, Inc., v. Rural Telephone Service Co., 499 U.S. 340 (1991), which involved fictitious entries in a telephone book.
