Saw the video… It mentions ”ripping” and even shows clips of some blockbuster movies. No wonder any copyright-sensitive automation gets triggered pretty fast. This will only get worse.
I think if the ripping includes de-DRM-ing it’s is illegal in a lot of countries. I am not saying it’s right, we should own our own content, I am just saying it as a fact.
A lot of people don’t realise that the application of the VCR was technically copyright infringement, especially so when you lent tapes to your friends.

What if I decide to digitize my entire movie catalog? I would have to rip those DVDs and blurays…
Yeah. That’s illegal in lots of countries.
But it is legal in the country he lives in as well as the country YouTube is headquartered in.
Is it? I’m not totally sure, as I’m not from the US but I think the DMCA is the nasty player in this game.

Pretty fast? The video was uploaded in 2024.
”Pretty fast” after they tuned those automations to the current setting. And they will keep turning it that way unfortunately.
