I highly doubt their claims would stand up legally in many countries where the footage was taken in a public place (definitions of a such will vary by country), at least. They've just copied this from sports that take place in/on private venues and have truly controlled access. I think they're pushing their luck as it is, I doubt they'll go much further with their claiming of footage beyond attempts to erase some of the more ugly incidents from the most public platforms. Not that I agree with their dubious attempts here to control the image of the sport. If there were to be graphic footage of a fatality at a WRC event floating about though, I would be more understanding of their efforts.
