Strange rejection, I have a video of a cow eating grass in a meadow rejected for violation of intellectual property...

The cow is alone, this is a close up, maybe the reviewer took the orange marks at the ears of the cow for a brand but, seriously this is just a cow nothing more ! What violation of intellectual property could it infringe !

The id of the file is :  167050446

Correct answer Ricky336

If the cow is wearing ear tags, it has a number. This number can be identified. In fact, that is how the farmer can identify the cow - by its ear tag. So, this means it can be identified - therefore you need permission. I guess this is why it has been rejected for intellectual property. A cow is property in this respect! Property not only relates to buildings! (This is my guess though).

The above answer is correct. The tag identifies the cow as private property. You must submit a property release signed by the owner of the cow to sell this content for commercial licensing.

Kind regards,

This is only partly true, to identify the cow you need to be able to read all ten numbers and only 4 are readable on the video, even after zooming at 200%... Oh and I do know it, these are my father's cows...

Anyways, once again this is only one arbitrary ruling by some anonymous reviewer...
