MODERATORS
That's a bummer for sure. I did wonder how they managed to get away with using all that footage... Definitely a gap in the market for this kind of analysis.
I mean, legally they didn't "get away" with anything. Their content is pretty much the textbook definition of fair use. The problem is copyright enforcement doesn't really care about that, especially on YouTube. If Yelistener took this to court he would win the case guaranteed, but can they afford the legal fees?
It's a fucked up state of affairs.
Fair use is a US concept, F1 is a British company so they most likely don't legally recognize this as valid.
YouTube is US American, Liberty Media is US American.
FOG is a British company.
The British equivalent is fair dealing, and if matey monetised their channel thereβs no chance. Likewise if they circumvented DRM to get the footage. FOM charges vast sums to broadcasters for highlights rights, and using it for free undermines that market so again no fair dealing.
It is? Both Liberty Media and Google (YouTube) are US-based companies.
Liberty's child company, Formula One Management (FOM), is a registered British company
There's many gaps, but Liberty won't allow anyone to fill them. The complexity of the cars compared to the content us proles get fed is madness.
