With the FCC maybe, but someone far worse will be interested, the RIAA. It's copyright infringement by illegal broadcast.

Do it with a private video, it won't be taken down.
I guess they've since changed their policies.
From a copyright perspective there's no issue with uploading your own personal videos with copyrighted material in it to a site like YouTube so long as they're still private. I guess YouTube just assumes if you're uploading it there, you're going to eventually want to make it public. IMO they should just show the results of their scans to clue you into potential copyright claims but not actually do enforcement if the video isn't available publicly.
Note: an unlisted video is still a public video.
And I'd bet they would make a good attempt at fining you for each channel that you modulated for.
