Ideally, make your own music. Or use people's music who wants to share, they get popular and rise as a competitor and it shows that maybe going after minor background noise wasn't such a good idea.
But back in reality, you just don't monetize the content. Publishers don't really care about some unlisted kid's party with 50 views and monetization off. The YouTube stuff is draconian but not that asinine.
That's a pretty important distinction.
>being removed from the monopoly forum for internet videos could be worse than jail if you're business depends on that.
If your business relies on thst then strike up a deal. That's what copyright should be doing.
The situation is still stupid, yes. But the core issue of people profiting off of material they dont own is still something we want to protect against.
