Sure does sound a lot like fair use. Not like anyone's going to rip the audio and listen to that rather than the original recording, and the purpose of the video was to inform about the street performers, not to convey the song.

It was "Wild Night" by the way. These copyright claims are getting out of hand. Perhaps I haven't thought this through, but I can't think of how that video was damaging to Van Morrison or the record label in any way. If anything you would think it would generate interest in the music. @Evan: I believe I wrote they were singing a Van Morrison song in the description, but didn’t mention the title of the song.

Was there anything in the title you gave the video or in its description that would lead Big Brother to find it out or did "he" just have to go searching and happen to hear the Van Morrison song being played?
