Youtube removed the sound from the recording of the 7-hour scientific conference because of the music that was played during the break.

It's no secret that YouTube is checking the downloadable videos for possible copyright infringement on the recording sequence. A regular video showing, for example, assembling a blowtorch with some kind of musical accompaniment, can be removed from the service, since the music is protected by copyright.

It is clear that no one will manually check all videos, everything works in automatic mode. But verification algorithms sometimes give interesting results. For example, a couple of years ago, one of YouTube users was unable to upload wildlife video to the service. The service's algorithms recognized the bird trills as copyrighted materials, and in the video they demanded to place a link to the owner of the sound rights website. Even the appeal gave nothing.

Now it became aware of a no less interesting case . Scientists who conducted a 7-hour scientific conference on climate change, broadcast this conference live. The video was also recorded and uploaded to the Web.


This comic picture shows the same "pirate", twisted music

Scientists were very surprised when no one heard the sound when watching a video on YouTube. Yes, the entire audio sequence has been deleted by the moderators. It turned out that during lunch the sound engineer played some kind of music, the rights to which belonged to the record company. The result - the sound was completely muted.

In principle, the organizers of the conference were lucky that they were not sued. For example, from 4 mayors of Denmark for music Gangnam Style in the parody video demanded 42 thousand US dollars (plaintiff - Universal Music). Well, another office, Warner Bros., demanded 60 thousand US dollars from a provincial bar for a record sounding in the room, which has long been 80 years old .
