Re: [YouTube-API] Terms of Service regarding filtering while playback

I can't see how harnessing a "component used to adjust the tone or frequency response of an audio system to achieve the desired sound quality" would not fall under the YouTube's definition of "modify", given that the audio system in question is a YouTube player, do you?

Then again, I doubt that the writers of the terms of service had equalization in mind when they used the word "modify", but there's no way to determine that until a case goes to court.

Such are the wonders of vague terminology used in legal documents.

The usual disclaimer of "I'm not a lawyer but..." applies to the above discourse.

Hello,

The Terms of Service, Section II: Prohibitions, (8) state that

[Your API Client will not] separate, isolate, or modify the audio or video components of any YouTube audiovisual content made available through the YouTube API;

My client presents an equalizer alongside the embedded player. The user fiddles with the knobs on the equalizer to filter the audio of the feed. Would that be considered a violation of the Terms of Service?

Many thanks.
