True, v true.
Youtube seems to have a bit of software which appears to automatically detect copyright sounds when you post videos on to it. I did a day trip to Southend last year and took a video of an old monastic site there, which I uploaded onto YT when I got home.
Because the music playing in the background (very softly) was apparently copyright protected, my video did appear on my Youtube site, but the sound was muted.
I was fine with this, as I really only use YT to store my videos, but it was interesting to see how, an innocuous video was "censored" for want of a better word, when most people would not have even been "properly" listening to the music - the video itself was the important thing.
