YouTube complies with CNN copyright claim, censors leaked footage
Reclaim The Net ^ | July 27 | By Tom Parker

Project Veritas criticized Bash’s questioning style, and noted that Ocasio-Cortez was not in the Capitol building when some of the CNN footage in the documentary was taped.

But a few hours after it went live, YouTube blocked it after a copyright claim from “Turner CNN.”

Project Veritas head James O’Keefe slammed YouTube for taking the video down and noted that his company had consulted with copyright lawyers before publishing the video, transformed the video into a unique work, and only used a few minutes of footage from the documentary.

“This is just another example of collusion between Big Media and Big Tech,” O’Keefe said. “They would never do this if CNN was publishing stuff within Project Veritas, there would be no copyright issue....

This “interview” with Ocasio-Cortez sounds like it was scripted. Congress knows full well it was ANTIFA who was storming the capitol building before Trump started speaking.

Agreed, might also inject a bit of competition into the equation, where one might just be hesitant about banning or removing due to other providers having it for example go viral.
