Dear Google: Public domain compositions exist

Okay, evil shower thought: why not actively start abusing this on a massive scale, claim as many copyrights as you can automatically so Google has to address this? If they don't do anything, you put the 'stolen' revenue in a fund for uploaders to access again.

Worst case, nothing happens, and video uploaders still get a payout, best case Google is forced to make some changes.

Maybe we could use deep RNN to produce novel but likely soundbytes that politicians are likely to say to be included in copyright audio tracks, and then hit the politicians' videos themselves.

I'm with you on this. The system is blatantly broken, and one way to get something done about it is to get everyone to abuse the hell out of it so that the system gets removed or fixed.
