1/ My latest video was just blocked worldwide on a claim by @warnermusic. The claim is on a 10-second clip of "Treasure," which I am commenting as the clip plays. This is a clear violation of fair use. I have appealed, but the video remains blocked worldwide until WMG respond.
There's no specific duration where a copyrighted content can be used by anyone that's automatically protected under Fair Use. In fact, courts have rejected Fair Use arguments for songs that only sample a few seconds of content. More info here: https://yt.be/help/claims-FAQ

I feel like this response being how YouTube replies to this thread really hammers home the fifth tweet. YouTube does not care about its creators.

Actually, that video does fall under one of the 5 exemptions that typically covers fair use: criticism. Don’t pretend court decisions finding otherwise equals a precedent. We all know that this is a grey area, and a single decision could settle it one way or the other. 1/2

I guess a shorter reply could’ve been “Counterpoint: Room 237.“ a critical documentary comprised entirely of footage from a Warner Bros. feature and that played theatrically and on home video without a legal challenge.

That's neat but there's literally no precedent where transformative commentary isn't fair use so this is kinda a bullshit response isn't it.

Once, while we had a video down because of a warrantless takedown claim, we got a letter from the claimant's lawyers demanding a copy of the video because they hadn't seen it, which sounds to me like people who take your system seriously and solemnly.

Are you kidding? The clip in question absolutely falls under Fair Use; it was clearly used to make a point, like evidence in an essay. It’s not like he just reuploaded the full music video for Treasure by Bruno Mars! wtf

Hey
@TeamYouTube it seems you don't understand why@WatchPolyphonic's video is actually Fair Use and just cite an irrelevant court case. Maybe you should try taking Copyright School: https://www.youtube.com/copyright_school …Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
