Reply to comment by [deleted] in Old talk shows like Johnny Carson, Dick Cavett, Letterman, etc. - can someone explain why the rights holders don't simply put every FULL episode (I know some of Carson's are forever gone) on YouTube and monetize them? by Swampfoot
Oh man, I uploaded a bunch of old public-domain old TV shows for a youtube educational channel and got a copyright violation for just one of them. It was because in one 5-minute scene, a couple was watching a scary show on TV, and there was eerie music playing in the background. That generic-sounding tune is what had the copyright claim on it.

YouTube copyright claim is so funny. I wanted to put up a fanedit of airplane 2 (basically I took out all of the jokes that were just repeats from Airplane and ended up with a funnier -I think anyway- 60 minute version) and got copyright striked for... 7 minutes in the middle, the only part they noticed was from airplane 2, not the rest of the movie including the paramount logo and title

Funny isn’t the word I would use. More like, “complete bullshit.” They’ll turn a blind eye to obviously pirated content, but then cease and desist someone over five seconds of a song on the radio in the background.

The high school where I work streams our basketball games on YouTube or Facebook sometimes but we have to remind the camera person to make sure there's no sound because the music playing during the warm-ups or halftime triggers the copyright thing and knocks down the stream

Some of that shit is ridiculous you can't show musical numbers if someone is doing watch of an old movie when the entire musical number has been posted by someone else 7 years ago.
