Free speech absolutist.

Probably DMCA. The Olympic committee is very jealous and very aggressive. They control all recordings strictly.

ianal but I'm pretty sure dmca wouldn't apply to free use exceptions if needed reporting and commentary

ICE providing security for American politicians in another country? Don’t they have a dedicated security group called the Secret service or something like that?

Yeah but the party prefers their brown shirts.

I thought comedy was legal now? Video sure gave me a laugh.

How adorable! It’s all the fuck over YouTube

[–] degenerate_neutron_matter@fedia.io 10 points 3 hours ago

The copyright doesn't apply to the event of Vance being booed itself, it applies to that specific video recording of it. Sure the video creator is a dick for getting it taken down, but they're within their legal rights to.

I've seen NBC edited out the boos on their broadcast

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 2 points 29 minutes ago

So sad the regime needs to protect its citizens from its international perception via media censorship. Very North Korea.

[–] homes@piefed.world 18 points 4 hours ago

You know, I just read that about an hour ago, but I can’t seem to find that version of the video. All the versions I see are the ones with all the boos and jeers, lol.

Someone’s algorithm needs a tweak…

People should just upload it (slightly cut or stretched) again and again. And again.

Nitecore edit (S L O W E D + R E V E R B)

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 1 points 28 minutes ago

That will give them fuel to call it fake and edited.
