By law, YouTube has to cooperate. Copywrite issues are beyond YouTube’s control.

To do otherwise YouTube will have to go to court over each song claim because the music industry will 100% sue for YouTube not complying. Music industry is the ruthless one.

But wouldn't youtube win every case like that? 5 seconds of music is fair use, saying the lyrics is fair use

Of course they would win every time but it’s not worth the thousands of dollars in legal fees for every single case.

That too, but they wouldn't even win because it's not fair use.

It is fair use, but courts have rejected such statements before, so it's more of a case that they can't win at all

That's how the law works. Precedence has been set and the courts didn't define this as fair use, so it's not fair use. The terms are defined by being tested in courts and this one has already been tested, so that's what the term means and this is not fair use based on that.

What precedence are you talking about? Fair use is not some blanket standard that covers all situations, it's judged on case by case basis. Lyrics and the song and other materials can all be fair use, depending on how it was used and how you got the material in question.

Yes, I'm talking about Jack's usage of singing a song on a video. I said courts didn't define 'this' as fair use, as in singing a song for profit. It's performance of a copyrighted song without permission, basically a cover, which needs permission as covers aren't fair use.

Ohh, right on. I thought you were talking about lyrics in general :)
