Hi all,
In my view the way YouTube handles copyright is over the top. E.g. take the following situation: I am taking some shots in the street and in the background there is some music playing. When I post such a video on YouTube, it will most likely block it from playing on mobile devices because of copyright infringement. This is, of course, a totally different situation compared to me adding a sound track to the video containing copyrighted music. Actually YouTubes philosophy prevents me from publishing video's of ordinary events happening at home or on the street where any kind of music is playing in the background, even if these videos are private.
I am curious what you guys think about this
