funny, Youtube does not have ANY of the crazy copyright restrictions that stock companies have.

YouTube allows you to post videos with tattoos, videos of buildings like the Empire State Building, Hollywood sign, sports venues where you have to buy a ticket, people who are 'identifiable' by their clothes, videos that contain other artwork and photos.

I guess YouTube hasn't learned yet? (this is sarcasm)

The stock companies have been misinterpreting copyright laws for a long time. Hopefully some day they will start reading the copyright laws properly instead of what they have been doing.

I think that's because there is a difference between selling photos with commercial licenses (featuring people or buildings) and publishing a video for free on a platform like Youtube.
Stock agencies need more restrictions to cover themselves legally when licensing photos. Most of what is published on YT is free for all and considered "fair use". Youtube does take down videos that violate copyright laws.

Hopefully, some day you will accept the benefits of having your own agency, raking in the profits from the highly desireable (you think) photos the agencies won't accept, while accepting the risk (which you don't believe exists). That would save you the effort and time of posting your hypotheses here, which is pointless.

Have fun.
