Subtitles are not video, so no. And I'd like to see you visit a thousand video pages with an RIAA approved browser and ^F on each of them. Nice joke!



Why should subtitles and video be considered so discretely? Are subtitles not copyrighted the same way as the audio and video portions of the work?


Beyond subtitles, there is certainly video metadata that youtube might have a claim on but the RIAA does not.


The principles are essentially the same, but they are discrete copyrights which could be owned by different people.
