Exactly .. and similar to theatres/arenas where recording/taping/photography is prohibited .. Plus Meat clearly says at the beginning "Turn off the cameras".
Whether or not it's copyright per se or not (and there seem to be as many definitions of this regarding the internet as we've had hot dinners
), Meat didn't give permission, in fact specifically refused it, wanted it removed from the internet, and Utube seems to be acting on reasonable requests from artists now to remove bootlegs and other illicitly recorded items.
I admit to viewing it, although I felt a bit uncomfortable about doing so .. but imo Meat was perfectly entitled to request its removal given the circumstances, and Utube right to remove it. Whether it's defined legally as copright is moot and probably hard to establish, given the plethora of definitions around .. but it's a convenient way to explain its removal I think .. and lets us know where Meat stands
