How to fix it

- Video: looked at for this rule
- Speech: not for this rule
- On-screen text: looked at for this rule
- Caption: not for this rule
- Hashtags: not for this rule
It doesn't recognize songs or match clips against copyright catalogs, so it can't tell whether you have the rights to them.
