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 …
Because fair use is not something that saves you from getting claimed, it’s just something you can use in court as a defense. YouTube doesn’t want to be the one to decide what is fair use Bec legally that’s not their job. I guess?

Fair use WAS created to protect people that discuss or parody something by using much of the source material, and just because it legally isn't YouTube's job doesn't mean that the result of a copyright dispute should be up to the claimant - as that's incredibly easy to abuse.

But the claimant does own the copyright so they either need to acknowledge it’s fair use or bring her to court and a judge will decide. I’m not really sure what YouTube can legally do here? Not saying YouTube isn’t super shitty in other ways...
