Copyright laws are copyright laws.
Fair use is fair use.
Both of those things are true!

Olympics is usually under ‘fair use’ it’s a public international event… it’s not a record label or Hollywood video.
This is probably first time a DCMA has been used for a multinational event.
Which is quite interesting and one must wonder if the backlash is really that bad that even they are scared
fixing that. requires an act of congress
It requires only enforcement of existing law, which Elon feels confident in doing apparently since he allows this brazen abuse of DMCA
The International Olympic Committee is very assiduous at protecting their copyrights and branding. As far as I can tell, the Special Olympics is the only organization allowed to use the “O” word and that only after the IOC lost in the court of public opinion.
The IOC is a corporation, not a government organization and they can do as they like with their intellectual property.
