Fight the arm-chair!
ok your idea would not work, quite simply because editorial control does not automagically eliminate safe harbor

youtube censors nudity/adult content, it does not kill the safe harbor provision because you can easily tell the difference between adult and non adult (any smuck can do that)

you can not tell the difference between licienced and not licienced, fair use and not fair use (only a qualified lawyer can do that). Given the fact that qualified lawyers make mistakes 39% of the time (chilling effect) it is a lot harder than you think. No judge is going to be stupid enough to come to the conclusion that you are stating.


rule 2
branding bugs
product placement
