Time for my periodic public callout of @UMG, who claimed this video, specifically the song starting at 13:43, an extremely clear-cut example of fair use, as the discussion is the lyrics of the claimed song. There's subtitles and everything.https://youtu.be/xU1ffHa47YY?t=823 …
Simple, companies say that but never actually act on it in all but the most blatantly obvious cases because fair use is mostly a defense used in court. For example when Trump used Tim McGraw in a meme Twitter followed through with the DMCA request even though it was fair use.

so what are you saying, exactly? is youtube being forced to obey a law as written, or simply failing to do their due diligence?
