Was really fun, quite enjoyed it, did think some of the references were a bit too nuanced for me

They found me. I found public domain old black and white military training videos on a public resource on the internet and put them in YouTube. Then they did the YouTube strike thing and I called them and the guy was a total jerk on the phone. Like Jerry McGuire or that other guy Tom Cruise played in Tropic Thunder.
They put a strike on you because they had the film themselves and were claiming copyright?
Were you putting up those films just as a public good service or was it for something else?

I'm interested to know how well video processing works here. Ran into some problems when I was using vertex to serve longer youtube videos.

I wish there were another way to distribute video. Content disappears from youtube eventually, for silly reasons.
I think this is important content, the more people know how ai works under the hood the more empowered society will be.
Do you think videos disappearing is the biggest problem with YouTube from a distribution perspective?

Check out Peroscope films.
They take public domain footage, mostly us government stuff, and release it and claim copyright over it.
I took some of their public domain footage and put it on YouTube and they freaked out.
Through logic and reason I was able to get them to admit they have no copyright right, as they were initially claiming.
But they did have the YouTube terms of service.
So, back to this.
If they had public domain stuff they wanted to protect, this is another less obvious way to do it.
That's interesting, how did you find these guys?
