It would have been fantastic if every test using RIAA copyrighted music had been replaced with public domain sources. Or, better yet, videos the maintainers created and uploaded themselves.

That won't work, because Youtube applies the particular sort of protection that those tests exercise only to copyrighted music.

Interesting. Do you know how hard it would be for someone to upload a bunch of original videos with same copyright as the videos in question?

[teach]

As far as I know, that's impossible. The particular DRM applied to those test videos is ONLY available to large partners like Vevo.

Which is why they were in the test suite.

Just about all music you can find online is copyrighted. I think you mean that it applies the protection only to music where the copyright is held by a large organization.

Yes, yes, it was short for "registered with Youtube's copyright filter".
