How do mirrored videos and speeded up audio evade copyrights?

I’ve seen videos with mirrored videos )everything being on the opposite side) and audio speed it up and squeaky. I’ve read this is supposed to be a loophole around copyright or something but my question is how?

Most (old school) copyright detection algorithms search for exact matches to the copyrighted work, so by making it recognizable to humans but not an exact 1:1 match to the original work you can get it to be a false negative for copyright infringement.

However, I mentioned that it’s old school copyright detection because newer algorithms know the common tricks and will search for mirrored visuals and edited audio, and AI is making it increasingly difficult to use the slight edits. It’s why sometimes the video will be cropped *and* mirrored, and the audio will fluctuate between being too high and too low, to try and get around the more advanced algorithms.
