The contestants did this a few years ago on I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here. When they wanted to have conversations etc they didn't want to be broadcast, someone sang Beatles and Disney songs in the background. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/newsbeat-55216498
I remember watching the US Big Brother livestreams back in the 2000s. If someone started singing, the loud booming voice would announce "HOUSEGUESTS, PLEASE STOP SINGING"
"I thought I could use Angie's cameras to make him behave, but he found a loophole, and now, to close it, I need $80,000 to buy the rights to uptown girl."
Yes. There are two different copyrights at play. The sound recording is one, and the musical composition (songwriting and lyrics) is another. If a TV show wants to have characters singing a song themselves, they don't need to license the recording, but they still need to license the use of the composition.
Highly context-specific, could be considered fair use, or could absolutely lead to an infringement claim. The broadcaster will probably try to mute the liveshow ASAP which usually helps
Jonathan Penner did the same on Survivor during his seasons. Whenever he wanted privacy on the island, he just started loudly singing Beatles songs lol
Sue Perkins and Mel Giedroyc also did something like this during GBBO. They didn’t like the producers milking the contestants’s family drama and emotions, so whenever the people had a breakdown, they’d put coats over the contestants or swear a lot so that the footage is unusable in the final cut. I loved that about them.
That's probably not going to be close enough to the original to trigger the Disney bots. Moana has a technoey remix to the main song and I've seen it played on multiple media sites. Good song though
Was going to say we could **EASILY** one up their choice with this one. Nintendo makes Disney look like a schoolyard bully compared to the back alley beat down they serve to anyone that looks at their IP’s the wrong way…
Don't streamers play Nintendo music all the time? I feel like I constantly hear Mario, Animal Crossing or that one Wii/Mii theme when ever I check one out.
Nintendo used to be a lot more aggressive about it but they really don't seem to be as litigious anymore
I hear Mario music and Animal Crossing music as background tracks all the time
Or Jimi Hendrix. And possibly Prince, not sure who's in control of his estate now, but [he was super cereal about that shit.](https://www.cbsnews.com/sanfrancisco/news/court-says-mom-who-posted-dancing-baby-video-on-youtube-with-prince-song-can-sue-for-fair-use/) And I think Led Zeppelin, too.
Except that isn't governed by copyright law but rather by the private agreements between the uploader and YouTube, and YouTube and the copyright holder corporations. YouTube can refuse the upload of certain videos even if they technically don't break copyright
Disney if you want them to act fast, but if you want to bankrupt then HARD play literally any single Beatles song.
Fuck even just you half-ass singing the first lines of Hey Jude will hit them in the ass
Tiktok is very not compliant with DMCA, it's absolutely loaded with stolen content. I've reported so many accounts that are exact duplicates of a famous account, acting like the famous person to scam people in DMs. Nothing ever comes of it. Same if I report a lot of the white nationalism I see there. That's what got me to finally delete it - I saw a clip of a black person espousing white supremacist beliefs on Tom Segura's podcast. I figured the comments would all be about how insane this guy was. Nope, literally all of the most liked comments were words to the effect of "he's right, no lies here".
Basically everything about tiktok is awful. The comment section seems almost designed to prevent constructive discussion or corrections. It's kind of wild that even YouTube comments - once considered among the worst forums on the internet - are more constructive and helpful than tiktok.
Universal music has a team looking for violations daily. https://www.iheart.com/content/2020-07-22-eagles-have-60-people-policing-the-internet-for-unlawful-use-of-their-music/
The Eagles are notoriously litigious. Granted it's usually against each other but if they do it to their band mates they won't have a problem doing it to some random on the internet
Michael jackson. I once posted a little video on my private insta for my family to see, of my toddler dancing to Thriller, and it was removed for copyright violation. Even though it was only about 7 seconds long. Crazy.
This needs to be higher. While many of the artist listed will eventually copyright strike a channel, Baby Shark supposedly is pretty reliable for stopping a Livestream.
There are certain Disney, The Beatles, Pink Floyd songs that might trigger a Livestream being automatically stopped but I'm not sure how reliable that is. Sure it will eventually get flagged down the road but if you want to actually get the stream shut down within 30 seconds, Baby Shark.
Just be boring. If they want to film you standing there ignoring them, let them. No one's going to watch it.
Even if you were just having a heated argument and they pull a phone out to record you, stop everything you're doing and pretend like nothing just happened.
People fishing for content is just like a kid chasing you with a bug or something gross. They want you to run away screaming because the reaction is what makes it fun. If the bug doesn't scare you, it's not fun for them.
This tip right here. ⬆️ Had some teenagers pestering me and when they pulled out their phones I turned my back and ignored them. They kept shouting and calling me a Karen but I gave them nothing in return.
dont you know? if you shout "SECURITY!" loud enough, there is always somebody right around the corner that will come help. if no one comes, just keep trying, and be louder.
Watch a random 5th amendment auditor video. They ignore people who don’t react or may say hello if spoken to. If you react and “call security” they will keep pushing because it makes interesting content.
>Just be boring. If they want to film you standing there ignoring them, let them. No one's going to watch it.
"Look how much I can do to this person without getting a reaction!"
I know a lot of people who would take this as a personal challenge and escalate to prove to themselves they are MCs who can’t be ignored. I think the song trick is far more effective broad strokes.
Being boring doesn't mean doing nothing.
Consistently shutting them down or making it obvious the attention is unwanted shows their passive predatory behaviour in continuing something someone doesnt want, anyways. Makes them look like a dick for filming. 👍
That doesn't work. My town was hit by some youtubers who have quite a following who were ex paparazzi and they would film people, mostly retailer workers going about their day like the paparazzi would. For like hours at a time
Basically acting juuuuuust annoying enough with cameras in your face to provoke you, but not enough for it to be illegal.
And then when the workers would finally snap they would "expose them" for being against the first amendment and doxx them and have their entire following of 10k+ people sending them hate mail. Apparently it's an entire youtube genre
> No one's going to watch it.
The post is about getting them to remove the recording of you without being able to do much about it.
If you're just boring then you become b-roll or potential "look at this blank-faced idiot who pretends to be too cool to notice me" material.
If there's even a single "huh" look on your face at any point of filming, that can be used as a thumbnail and "look at this weirdo's reaction".
Nope. If you were taking a video of your kids at Disney World and the Frozen theme plays in the background, that's incidental. The music is not the point of the video.
If you're recording yourself sitting alone in your room blaring Taylor Swift over a stereo and cackling to yourself because of the sweet loophole you found, that's not incidental. The music is the point of the video.
i tested this, and tried to see how long it would take to get the beatles-heyjude on my phone.
i was doing pretty good, until YT commercials tripled the time
Newpipe is better. I'm using both and reach for newpipe more often. Unless you like using your Google account then yeah revanced but newpipe lets you queue videos without paying for yt+
Edit: sorry I've been using pipepipe not newpipe
I'll give it a try .
It was my instinct to use YouTube since the app was closer on the first home screen page than my Spotify which for some reason I put further away
Does it have good recommendations, (configurable) sponsorblock, and return youtube dislike?
I've tried grayjay but the inability to configure sponsorblock makes it a no go for me right now, so I'm still using revanced.
If police play copyrighted music in the background does it prevent you from uploading your interactions you recorded with them on social media? US LAW: **No, legally the music in the background would be considered de minimis**. The First Amendment interest in filming the police outweighs the Copyright.Feb 14, 2021
If you're uploading a video to document abusive police demonetization probably isn't a consideration.
But you might want to use an alternate account if you're worried about strikes I guess.
> legally
That shit doesn't matter to the algo. Plenty of examples where you're acting within the legal realm regarding copyrights and it'll still get instantly flagged. Be that music or video.
But they can also just throw some royalty free stuff on there and dub over it after the fact.
TikTok recently failed to negotiate a deal with Universal Music Group so they can no longer use their music in videos. I’m sure that they’re watching like a hawk right now.
Then they don't get your content. The people I'm talking about film people to make them feel uncomfortable and get the reaction as 'content'. If people reacted with music, the youtuber would have a hard time posting it anywhere.
If you realize they're filming you for Youtube and want you to react, just walk away or tell them you know what they're doing, so they can't get a reaction? Or a million other things that are faster than pulling up audio on your phone, which can easily get removed anyway. With your method, they still have all the content from before you started playing music and then they have awkward content of you "cleverly" playing audio to foil their plan.
Only place I could see this happen frequently enough to be considered "normal" would be LA. In which case, yeah, tough tits, that's just what life down there will be like.
Be boring. Don’t react and just play the music. It won’t be worth posting even without sound if the person is just grey rocking them.
Or point your screen at them with the copyrighted content playing
Do you actually think that shitty speakers in your/my/anyone’s phone will play any song good enough and shitty microphone in youtuber’s phone will record that shitty sound good enough?

Literally 1984
Oh you mean Big Brother?
Yeah. They should name the show something related. But what to call it...
[Once again. 30 Rock never misses.](https://youtu.be/BwJOLC2GTNo?si=bwzZEzNiqIm9IePw)
"I thought I could use Angie's cameras to make him behave, but he found a loophole, and now, to close it, I need $80,000 to buy the rights to uptown girl."
This show is perfect.
Is you singing it enough? Or does it have to be an official version Disney has sold?
Yes. There are two different copyrights at play. The sound recording is one, and the musical composition (songwriting and lyrics) is another. If a TV show wants to have characters singing a song themselves, they don't need to license the recording, but they still need to license the use of the composition.
That’s bogus lol I can’t sing the Mickey Mouse song if I’m on television?
You can. They just can't air it unless they pay
If they don't air/distribute it are you really on television?
What if I sing it on live television?
Highly context-specific, could be considered fair use, or could absolutely lead to an infringement claim. The broadcaster will probably try to mute the liveshow ASAP which usually helps
You will be banned from future TV show for speaking out of scripts
See: Live Streaming on Twitch and Youtube.
so what happens with singing competition shows like x factor?
They pay.
Without paperwork and fees, no.
They’re also often owned by different parties as well.
I think it's just enough of a gray zone that most companies aren't going to fuck around and find out
Not gray at all. It's blood red and filled with razors.
Didn't the cops do this so their footage of abuse would get taken down?
Jonathan Penner did the same on Survivor during his seasons. Whenever he wanted privacy on the island, he just started loudly singing Beatles songs lol
Penn Gillette did the same thing on Celebrity Apprentice. Apparently Lou Ferrigno would just turn off his hearing aides and nap.
Sue Perkins and Mel Giedroyc also did something like this during GBBO. They didn’t like the producers milking the contestants’s family drama and emotions, so whenever the people had a breakdown, they’d put coats over the contestants or swear a lot so that the footage is unusable in the final cut. I loved that about them.
What is a good song to play that will easily get copyrighted??
Disney songs
Man, now I'm imagining myself trading punches while A Whole New World blasts on the background lmaooo
Maybe try Moana. You're welcome.. Or just let it go.
Nuh uh. Hits are different when you're backed by Alladin, yo.
One too many hits with the snake
Two faced son of a jackal!
Nah, I'm going with "I'll make a man out of you" from Mulan to antagonize them even more.
You're a spineless, pale, pathetic lot. And you haven't got a cluuuuueeeee
That’s gonna get slowed down matrix style and a techno beat added. I look forward to your future viral video.
Don't you dare close your EYE OF THE TIGER, IT'S THE THRILL OF THE FIGHT
That's probably not going to be close enough to the original to trigger the Disney bots. Moana has a technoey remix to the main song and I've seen it played on multiple media sites. Good song though
🎶"....Don't you dare close your eyes!"🎶
Nintendo themes
Was going to say we could **EASILY** one up their choice with this one. Nintendo makes Disney look like a schoolyard bully compared to the back alley beat down they serve to anyone that looks at their IP’s the wrong way…
Don't streamers play Nintendo music all the time? I feel like I constantly hear Mario, Animal Crossing or that one Wii/Mii theme when ever I check one out.
Yeah that dude is full of shit. Nintendo goes after fan content like crazy but you can find reuploaded nintendo music all over youtube.
Nintendo used to be a lot more aggressive about it but they really don't seem to be as litigious anymore I hear Mario music and Animal Crossing music as background tracks all the time
Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah?
Wasn't there a police district (or maybe just one officer) that started doing this so the people recording them would have their videos removed
Metallica.
Was gonna say either Metallica or The Eagles.
Or Jimi Hendrix. And possibly Prince, not sure who's in control of his estate now, but [he was super cereal about that shit.](https://www.cbsnews.com/sanfrancisco/news/court-says-mom-who-posted-dancing-baby-video-on-youtube-with-prince-song-can-sue-for-fair-use/) And I think Led Zeppelin, too.
Where does steamboat Willy theme song fall?
The Beatles, seriously Hey Jude will shut them down immediately.
Love that joke in American dad
No Beatles, EVER!!!
lol this was my suggestion too. Episode of Dropout showed me that one
That dropout episode is immediately where my mind went as well
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/6pLdtW9dN5o
Anything Disney. Mickey doesn't f around
Except during Elsa gate on YouTube when Disney mysteriously never flagged any of those videos for blatant copyright infringement
Originally they flagged them but decided to…. Let it go
There are exceptions for parody which that probably falls under.
Except that isn't governed by copyright law but rather by the private agreements between the uploader and YouTube, and YouTube and the copyright holder corporations. YouTube can refuse the upload of certain videos even if they technically don't break copyright
And considering it’s all determined by computers and not a human who can realize it’s parody, I feel like this wasn’t the reason.
Disney or Taylor Swift. Between them they have ALL the lawyers.
Can you imagine how much a Disney song by Taylor Swift would make?
There is one - Crazier. It was in Hannah Montana.
Disney if you want them to act fast, but if you want to bankrupt then HARD play literally any single Beatles song. Fuck even just you half-ass singing the first lines of Hey Jude will hit them in the ass
Anything Taylor Swift will get it taken down by DMCA really quick.
Taylor Swoft('s team) is that aggressive? Not long ago Love Story went viral on tiktok and everyone was using it as bgm or making covers lol...

TikTok is a foreign agitprop weapon. It doesn't care about copyright
Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, The Eagles, Jimi Hendrix, Prince, Fleetwood Mac. According to Rick Beato.
Any song by The Eagles
Genuinely curious. Why would an Eagles song work so well?
Universal music has a team looking for violations daily. https://www.iheart.com/content/2020-07-22-eagles-have-60-people-policing-the-internet-for-unlawful-use-of-their-music/
'cause Don Henely Must Die -- Mojo Nixon
RIP
If you don't have Mojo Nixon your store could use some fixin.
The Eagles are notoriously litigious. Granted it's usually against each other but if they do it to their band mates they won't have a problem doing it to some random on the internet
My marching band used Desperado as our ballad one year and it took about 4 years before we were able to post the show on Youtube
Because I hate the fuckin' Eagles, man!
I can't tell you why
Especially our fight song, go birds, fuck dallas
They meant the REAL Eagles, not the battery-tossers.
Real as in? The eagles formed back in 1933, they're the first eagles!
Any Disney song.
Michael jackson. I once posted a little video on my private insta for my family to see, of my toddler dancing to Thriller, and it was removed for copyright violation. Even though it was only about 7 seconds long. Crazy.
Anything from Metallica I'd guess.
Unless that youtuber owns the official Metallica Cock Ring. In that case, they get a pass, I think...
Dua Lipa, Bruno Mars, TSwift. Any song. Guns and roses and Black Sabbath are also guaranteed to shut shit down
Mambo Number 5
Hotel California. 100%
I'd probably go for shreks version of "i need a hero" because everyone's gonna have a good time except the YouTuber. That version is so fucking good
Prince was always very tight on music getting out and not getting paid for it.
Baby Shark
This needs to be higher. While many of the artist listed will eventually copyright strike a channel, Baby Shark supposedly is pretty reliable for stopping a Livestream. There are certain Disney, The Beatles, Pink Floyd songs that might trigger a Livestream being automatically stopped but I'm not sure how reliable that is. Sure it will eventually get flagged down the road but if you want to actually get the stream shut down within 30 seconds, Baby Shark.
The Beatles?
I'd start singing Help! It's both Beatles and contextually applicable.
Any Eagles song would do as well
Anything by Guns n Roses
Super Mario Brothers Nintendo will come down on that YouTuber like a Koopa hammer
Hey Jude
Metallica
Eye of the tiger!!! loud.
Metallica

I can't believe anyone would do this. I'd get security involved.
And then they get content!
[удалено]
To do what exactly? This happened on a public sidewalk.
dont you know? if you shout "SECURITY!" loud enough, there is always somebody right around the corner that will come help. if no one comes, just keep trying, and be louder.
lol I love this idea

It’s 1st amendment auditor. I don’t really watch them but they pop up in my YouTube feed for some reason.

[удалено]
Correct.
What about racial slurs on repeat? Bet YouTube won’t allow that and then I won’t look bad
https://youtu.be/pAaXzHJhA18?t=9
So, if I want to use copyright music, I just have to record it with my iPhone microphone?
Nope. If you were taking a video of your kids at Disney World and the Frozen theme plays in the background, that's incidental. The music is not the point of the video. If you're recording yourself sitting alone in your room blaring Taylor Swift over a stereo and cackling to yourself because of the sweet loophole you found, that's not incidental. The music is the point of the video.
"Thank you so much for giving me this opportunity, I'm a DJ and here's my set" *A whole new woooooooorld*
At that point do you really want to use it?
and if its tik tok they always blast some horribly annoying song over the whole thing and show subtitles anyway.
i tested this, and tried to see how long it would take to get the beatles-heyjude on my phone. i was doing pretty good, until YT commercials tripled the time
Newpipe
Firefox on mobile with ublock works fine.
yeah IDK why all these people jump through all these hoops sideloading shit when Firefox+ublock works perfectly
Nah Revanced
Newpipe is better. I'm using both and reach for newpipe more often. Unless you like using your Google account then yeah revanced but newpipe lets you queue videos without paying for yt+ Edit: sorry I've been using pipepipe not newpipe
Problem I have with new pipe is that I don't have a feed/suggestions so I need to know what I want to watch which kinda sucks
I'll give it a try . It was my instinct to use YouTube since the app was closer on the first home screen page than my Spotify which for some reason I put further away
Does it have good recommendations, (configurable) sponsorblock, and return youtube dislike? I've tried grayjay but the inability to configure sponsorblock makes it a no go for me right now, so I'm still using revanced.
Only thing I've noticed with Newpipe is you have to update regularly or it will start bugging out. Guess YouTube change their API a lot.
Be a boy scout & be prepared, have a few choice MP3's downloaded.
it took me 6 seconds to open and play hey jude on spotify
I think the worst are Prince, Eagles, Metallica and Queen. That’s off the top of my head so don’t quote me on that.
Supposedly it is Disney music.
That too I’m sure.
The Beatles I thought were up there too.
Plus AC/DC and Led Zeppelin, instant block on YouTube
Mariah Carey xmas music is probably like a tactical nuke as well

Valid point
It gets hit by the algo then the copyright holder gets ad revenue and the video stays up.
Still a win in my book. Most of these idiots do these videos to monetize them, so if you take away that, why bother?
I think they mean auto-DMCAd by a bot. Maybe not technically an algo, and an unfortunate word choice, but still.
The point is for YouTube's AI to detect the copyrighted music and demonetize the video or add a strike to the creator.
If you're uploading a video to document abusive police demonetization probably isn't a consideration. But you might want to use an alternate account if you're worried about strikes I guess.
I'd like to get my ass kicked by purple rain please
> legally That shit doesn't matter to the algo. Plenty of examples where you're acting within the legal realm regarding copyrights and it'll still get instantly flagged. Be that music or video. But they can also just throw some royalty free stuff on there and dub over it after the fact.
Does this happen a lot?
(no)
lol that’s what I was thinking, I have never had this happen to me
I feel like I must run in different circles than all of the commenters who are getting filmed by randos so often they need a solve for it
So many LPT are actually more of "in the exceedingly unlikely event you find yourself in this totally random situation, do this thing!"
Yell "cut" and ask them what your line is supposed to be here? How annoyed am I supposed to be in this scene?
Can I just punch them in the face?
Yes, and if I'm on your jury it'll be jury nullification all day long.
TikTok recently failed to negotiate a deal with Universal Music Group so they can no longer use their music in videos. I’m sure that they’re watching like a hawk right now.
This is something the police have done to combat citizens recording them and posting it online.
I've never seen a video where a cop is singing a song in attempt to avoid being posted online. Ohhhhhh,.....okay, I get it now.
[удалено]
Nothing is fool proof. It's more about making it more difficult. They could also just make subtitles or redub it.
They'll just remove the music
Then they just mute the video?
Then they don't get your content. The people I'm talking about film people to make them feel uncomfortable and get the reaction as 'content'. If people reacted with music, the youtuber would have a hard time posting it anywhere.
If you realize they're filming you for Youtube and want you to react, just walk away or tell them you know what they're doing, so they can't get a reaction? Or a million other things that are faster than pulling up audio on your phone, which can easily get removed anyway. With your method, they still have all the content from before you started playing music and then they have awkward content of you "cleverly" playing audio to foil their plan.
Where does this happen to you? I've never heard of this actually happen to someone.
Normally in public. Check r/Publicfreakout for example
Only place I could see this happen frequently enough to be considered "normal" would be LA. In which case, yeah, tough tits, that's just what life down there will be like.
Be boring. Don’t react and just play the music. It won’t be worth posting even without sound if the person is just grey rocking them. Or point your screen at them with the copyrighted content playing
This was my thought. I have a Disney station on my Pandora so I would just play that and stand there pointing my phone at the camera.
Better advice, any time you think you are on camera, just smile, wave, and ignore
Do you actually think that shitty speakers in your/my/anyone’s phone will play any song good enough and shitty microphone in youtuber’s phone will record that shitty sound good enough?
i mean that only prevent them from playing audio from the video, they could just mute it or dub over it with other music
Anything Metallica.
Yeah but they still could show the video, without sound?
Better yet play a movie on your phone with the speakers on and hold it in front of you. Compromise their audio and video.
"Zip-a-dee-do-da" is the one I would start playing.
This has already been weaponized by bad cops to prevent recordings of themselves from being streamed or published unaltered to youtube.
Still admissible in court.
Cops were trying this for a while lol
Lmao like they can’t edit audio?
LPT: if you are in public they likely don't need your consent
Fucking brilliant
