  Do you count debunking videos as stealing, because I don’t. Some of the best videos is people debunking misinformation posted by assholes like Rogan.

    Maybe, if they are not just playing the entire video end to end and barely talking over it.

    If you are taking 5 minutes of their video and turn it into an hour of review/criticism, sure that seems fair.

  There’s a clause in most countries’ copyright laws that allow you to use material for the purposes of “commentary”.

    Pretty sure pasting your face over it doesn’t count though, surely? Otherwise I have a new piracy idea

      New in what sense? It’s literally what they’re already doing.

      The problem from a legal standpoint is that the rules on what qualifies as commentary are fuzzy enough that you have to actually go to court for a decision, which nobody likes doing. Even the copyright holders are slightly wary of it, on account of the longer-term implications if they lose and set an unfortunate precedent.

      Equals Three, LLC v. Jukin Media, Inc. A YouTube show used viral clips from Jukin Media’s library while adding comedic commentary. The court found that some segments were transformative and fair use, while others were not. The decision emphasized that each clip must be analyzed individually based on its purpose and editing.

        Well it seems like currently they are just pirating content from small creators that don’t have legal teams to defend themselves. If its actually ok do it with Disney.

  Not always. I’ve seen clips of reaction videos where people are shown older media that’s typically unfamiliar to young people. In that case, it’s a way to reassure older people of the continued appeal of the pop culture of their youth. Something like a modern high schooler listening to Led Zeppelin for the first time.

  I get so irritated seeing that bottom panel of uselessness. And it’s always so exaggerated… first couple of times I thought it might be some commentary or a conversation. Now I wish there was a thumbs up, thumbs down, and punch in the face. I’d chose the later.

    The stupid fucking finger point and tap. Hope these useless sacks of shit get decked in the face.
