I wonder if YouTube has a department that keeps track of what is coming into the public domain in which country at what date. Or will their systems be out of date and still flag copyright violations on this content?
One example on top of my head comes from TwoSetViolin commenting on this issue: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TsMMG0EQoyI In their case, the issue was fixed, but I wonder if smaller channels get the same "benefit" or a human reviewer.
And I don't believe that progress happens by us imagining a rule toward a more perfect society and then government following to enact it
