On: YouTube loses court battle over music clips

[citricsquid]

I thought that they already did this automatically? I uploaded a video I took from my old apartment, because I lived behind a club* you could hear music and Youtube automatically detected it on upload. Here's the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WOANhQ9nQYk and the message I see via my account:

""Hi Friend", musical composition administered by: EMI Music Publishing. Your video is still available worldwide. In some cases, ads may appear next to your video. Please note that the video's status can change, if the policies chosen by the content owners change. Learn more about copyright on YouTube.".

I have also uploaded videos from TV shows that have been detected automatically as content owned someone else. This clip from a UK TV show "countdown": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zuHREvK74-4

""Countdown-Countdown", audio-visual content administered by: Channel 4" Your video is blocked in these locations: Guernsey, Ireland, Isle of Man, Jersey, United Kingdom. Please note that the video's status can change, if the policies chosen by the content owners change. Learn more about copyright on YouTube."

Doesn't this satisfy the courts that Youtube is going to great lengths to prevent this?

* Never live behind a club, it's ridiculous.

Interesting. Is that why BBC and Channel 4 stuff seems to live on YouTube much longer than you would think? Because it's blocked in the UK?

They block stuff within the UK because it's available on 4OD, iPlayer etc and then leave it for people outside the UK.
