New "censorship" technique on Youtube

(1/3) > >>

Renegade:
It seems Youtube has come up with a way to circumvent complete censorship at the hands of the MAFIAA, and instead reach a compromise.

I came across a video with it. Here's a screenshot:

Contains mildly graphic material

The Youtube message:

This video previously contained a copyrighted audio track. Due to a claim by a copyright holder, the audio track has been muted.

I've not seen that before, and assume it's relatively new.

I suppose this is a step in the right direction.

Stoic Joker:
Now that is an interesting method of equitable hair splitting.

MilesAhead:
I heard a similar thing was done for an unauthorized Britney Spears video.  Rather than take it down they morphed it to make Britney fat and ugly.  Oh. Wait a second.  I stand corrected.  The video is unmodified after all.  :)

They used do that a few years back - but maybe that was just here in Germany. I've also seen videos where the music was replaced by YT with copyright free music.


oh yeah,
Miles! you've been hanging around with too many skinny models !! :P

Oh, FFS! This is what I hate about all this geo-location BS.  :mad:  >:(

Does it really matter where you are? Sigh...  :-\

Why must they always screw everything up? Oh, that's right... we have laws...  >:(
