False Copyright Strike On Me

Most likely, they will do as major figures do when confronted by the media; keep saying "no comment" as they continue to their car, and then roll up the window. And if you then post that on YouTube without getting their permission (model release, publicity rights), you are now the one risking either YouTube or legal action if the person is recognizable in your video.

But if he shoots in public space isn't it ok?[DOUBLEPOST=1456562821,1456562748][/DOUBLEPOST]I suppose he would have to be careful with his wording, I.e., "What do you say to the claims that you've been stealing ad revenue?" and not, "Why have you been stealing ad revenue?"
 
If the person was a simple passer-by, no. However; this is a direct confrontation attempt, so I am unclear. If he were connected with the BBC, most likely not; but he is an indie film producer under the law. Look up Filming in Public Places on the British Film Commission Site.

This would also be seen as Investigative Journalism...I think more research is needed here. I know I am going to Commercial Broadcast sourcing here, but let us start by searching...

"Channel 4 Producers Handbook"

This is is already getting complicated. I think I have it!

If this can be seen as an editorial situation then no he most likely will not need a release; but remember this is YouTube, and YouTube sometimes does things that are outside normal rules as its personal stance on policy.

My final statement: It wouldn't hurt to try!
