Here's how copyright laws can be dangerous.

Typical scum being scum.
So in other words, the officer is committing copyright infringement by publicly playing music for others to hear.
i mean... is it illegal to play music in public (not counting noise disturbance)
of course the cop is evil though
Playing music in public isn't illegal, if you're playing it for yourself. Playing music for the purpose of sharing it with other people would be though.
Think of it like a movie. You can watch a DVD at home no problem, but if you set up a cinema out in the park and open to the public, that would be copyright infringement. The intent is what makes the offense.
It's a civil case, but technically yes.
oh ok
There's a good reason why ACAB is sprayed everywhere around the world.
Everyone should watch Tom Scott's video on copyright law to see just how outdated the laws currently are and how that hurts online platforms' ability to fairly moderate this.

I'm open-source, check me out at GitHub.
I remember this bullshit. Fuck any cop who does this.
Not literally, though. Whoever reads this, you can do better.
I could agree to this. YouTube definitely shouldn't be doing their copyright bullshit for shit like this. Cop knows exactly what he's doing. Prick.
On another note, you could probably use some audio software to remove the audio altogether, attempt to separate the music and the vocals from the cop and people talking. Remove the song, reapply the audio to the video and upload. I've done it before but the quality never came out as good in the end. Pain in the ass but there's definitely ways around this.
Doesn't this usually fall under the Fair Use policy? Like, how you are allowed to post copirighted content if you are using it as a joke or as a comentator and such?
I think you are right in theory, but it looks very different in practice. These automatic takedowns are done by the company hosting the files without any official legal regulator getting involved.
The rightsholder of such music licenses usually have vastly more resources and there are no negative consequences for false flags. This means it is better to overregulate which leads to a form of censorship.
I'm not a lawyer, but they need to make it absolutely clear that recordings that include copyright music shouldn't be copyright infringement unless the recording is solely containing the music and nothing else. Like if someone is talking over it, it should be automatically exempt. (Most pirates wouldn't talk over music just to avoid copyright laws. Most pirates are gonna want the original, high quality version, not one where there are people talking over it.)
I think such a change would be acceptable to most people, even those who are against piracy.
Death to copyrights!
