YouTube Blocked My Video on Intellectual Property


 

I made the above video about intellectual property and the public domain and then uploaded it into YouTube. A block was immediately put on it because I used a segment of the Simpsons to comment on a joke they made about the public domain. I then contested the block stating that since I was using segment for the purpose of commentary and not entertainment, that it was fair use. As of this posting, you can watch it on YouTube, but I cannot edit it. However, the process seems to be working so far even though it is a guilty until proven innocent system.
