YouTube’s copyright filtering system goes crazy
It seems that the filtering system from YouTube just pushed the limit of what you can do with content to a new level. The EFF’s Blog reported that in January, a teenage girl singning “Winter Wonderland” has seen her video removed by the filtering system since it was considered infriging on Warner Music copyright. The main problem seems to come from YouTube’s system who is unable to make a difference between a real copyright infrigement and fair usage of it. The EFF intend to appeal the decision.
So be carefull with posting your next birthday party video, as you may or may not know, the “Happy Birthday to You” song is copyrighted and you may end in violation the law
