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?

That's a great point.

You're right. Nobody could claim legal ownership of this -- at least not for commercial purposes.

The owner of Willie Wonka & the Chocolate Factory could actually file a DMCA notice and get it taken down from BOTH Quadjacks and Srsly's pages. They could also get an injunction to stop its distribution and/or usage for commercial purposes.

But since we're not talking about a court of law and more of what is ethically correct here, Srsly still has a point. He created that video on his own, posted it to Quadjacks' channel, and doesn't want them using it to promote their site after he stopped volunteering his services to them. Sounds perfectly reasonable to me, especially since Srsly never got paid for any of his efforts there in the first place.
