On July 4, YouTube released an updated eraser tool for creators so they can easily remove any copyrighted music from their videos without affecting any
There's an obscure piece of lost media where the last episode of the six part home video series has no sound at all, because back then youtube just yeeted the whole audio channel and that was that.
RIP. Don't want to bother the creators, but even if I did, they likely don't have a complete copy themselves. They never bothered to reupload it anyway. And have since scrubbed their channel clean.
This update could be a surprising good step in media preservation.
I wouldn't necessarily call it a good step, a less bad one sure. Ideally copyright can get fucked, but we don't live in candyland, so I guess I'll take the wins where I can.
