So, I thought this was interesting in regards to copyright laws. So today while editing some video, I laid down a stereo track of a single song for the 3+ min video I created. I wanted to use the song "How Far We've Come" from Matchbox Twenty, and to do so, I cheated and played the song off of my computer, and recorded it on to another computer via my analog line-out, and to the other computers analog line-in, pushing play on my computer and record on the other computers iSoundTrack Pro. Sending only an audio signal, and no data what so ever!. Took my recorded track, put it on to the edited video, finished the video, and uploaded it to YouTube. The moment it uploaded, I get an Email thought YouTube, saying there was unlicensed material on my upload, and was owned by WMG, and Matchbox Twenty. I was OK, but they were going to advertise on my page, with or with out my permission,...
all in all I was quite surprised how the computer, Google, YouTube could get that information off of my upload, considering the manner in which I captured it.
