Police plays Taylor song to avoid being recorded

“A confrontation Tuesday between a police sergeant and member of the public didn’t start out unusually. James Burch, policy director of the Anti Police-Terror Project (APTP), was standing outside the Alameda Courthouse in Oakland, California when an officer approached him and asked him to move a banner. As the two argued, the sergeant noticed he was being filmed. Then, he pulled out his phone and started playing “Blank Space” by Taylor Swift — in an apparent play to exploit copyright takedowns and keep the video off social media.

“You can record all you want,” he said, according to a video obtained by The Verge. “I just know it can’t be posted to YouTube.”

I like that pig.  However, in a case like this I think it's protected under fair use, and if not as long as they put breaks every 30 seconds it would be.

I can't believe they've come to this lol well it's on the internet now and once someone uploads it, it's there forever. He can play any Taylor Swift or Disney soundtrack, it's getting uploaded to several social media accounts now.

It’s not like you can just mute the video and post it.

Well, it didn't work :billie:

YouTube’s automated Content ID copyright-flagging system looks for a match between a reference file (provided by a copyright holder) and a new video upload. If there’s a hit, YouTube applies a policy to track, monetize or block the video, based on the preference selected by the Content ID owner. According to YouTube, Content ID claims usually are “just to track or monetize the video, not to block it.”

In fact, the video in question was not only shared successfully on YouTube, it has gone viral — garnering widespread attention because of the controversy.

The video, available at this link, has been viewed more than 170,000 times since it was shared Thursday.

 

Also, it's not the first time the cops tried this method.

Police have reportedly tried to exploit copyright-takedown rules to try to block videos from online services before. In February, according to a Vice News report, a Beverly Hills cop played Sublime’s “Santeria” as activist Sennett Devermont tried to film the encounter disputing a ticket he had been issued, evidently so that video of the conversation would be prevented from being livestreamed online. On a prior occasion, another BHPD officer blasted The Beatles’ “In My Life” as Devermont was recording video.

We all knew it didn’t work. However…

It’s so actually scary. Even after all that’s been going on for this past year, they play Taylor swift songs, they are still racial profiling, they don’t release their body cams, their sheriffs still cover for them and every pd and their momma. K whatever
