After reading and reviewing the material in this thread that deals with the alleged viewbotting and subsequent actions taken by Quadjacks and SrslySirius over copyright issues, I am left wondering something. What about the original material that was used in the making of the videos? The "You get nothing!" video, for example, makes extensive use of a scene from the movie "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory". Was permission to use that scene obtained from the owners of the movie rights? If not, how can others have a dispute over copyrights when using material they didn't have the right to use in the first place? Just asking.
At the end of every football game I've ever watched there is always that blurb about.."no use of this broadcast can be made without the express written permission of the NFL and its associates...blah blah blah" Doesn't that same thing apply to the use of material in any You Tube creations?

I'm surprised how often this argument comes up. It doesn't make much sense when you think about it. Full ownership of all content is not required to make a copyright claim. If someone makes a shitty video of Albert Pujols hitting a homerun while Down with the Sickness plays in the background, Drowning Pool has every right to make claim. Of course they're not claiming to own rights to Major League Baseball. But part of that video does infringe on their IP. It would be pretty silly if the uploader could just say "HA, but you don't own ALL of it"
Whether the claimant is infringing on any copyrights is not relevant. If a movie studio has a problem with the use of Wonka footage, they can take that up with me in a separate claim. It isn't QJ's or anyone elses business to use that as a defense.
If such a claim was made against me, I would argue that it's Fair Use, btw.
