Bugger.

I will try to dispute as I successfully did last time, but it's unlikely this will be appearing on YouTube, even though you can watch an upload from 2010 comprised of all the MIRA tests in a fully unedited form, among others. If it does work, there will be no premiere for that reason.

Although I'm sure there are some of you ready and waiting to dunk on my failure as I know there are, the fact is existing copyright detection systems, especially the BBC's, are unnecessarily harsh towards content that is clearly transformative and critical in nature. Most of the episode's sound is gone, it's in a frame, it's been re-ordered, chopped and screwed, interspersed with unrelated footage, and bizarrely, it's even claimed amateur footage of the challenges filmed by pedestrians.

I still do not understand how there have been people who can upload unmodified 5 - 10 minute long segments from 2002 Top Gear and have their content accepted despite doing nothing but ripping footage from downloads I sourced 5 years ago.

If this issue persists, I will look into alternative solutions. If I have to put my series review on a competitor service, I will. Otherwise most of the video will be made up of freeze frames and the occasional <10 second snippet.

I’m pretty sure being monetized makes the copyright threshold a bazillion times stricter.

I watched your video and enjoyed it. And if the BBC is listening, it would in fact only encourage me to re-watch the episode on iPlayer (which is the only reason I pay license fee).

Video's been unlisted again for the last 10 days or so.

It’s a good thing I watched the video before it got demonetised

YouTube’s copyright “system” is fundamentally broken. Transformative content is usually frowned upon by YouTube, but low effort slop is usually allowed. Worse still you can’t get a manual review it’s all just bots.

Being monetized will likely make the copyright threshold way stricter. TL;DR skill issue ;)
