Maybe the ruling doesn't really mean that much.

For example, they say the video itself is free speech, but maybe that has nothing to
do with any crimes committed to make the video.

I'm thinking about the Twilight Zone deaths during filming.
The producer/staff could be charged with man slaughter but that would
not make it illegal to actually show the scene in the movie of the actual deaths.

I don't know. Just thinking that if I'm the "law" then I will say, "yes your video is
100% legal but I'm charging you with animal cruelty and this 100% legal video is simply
my evidence of you committing the crime".
