I don’t understand why this is a thing? Who wants to watch someone nod their head to someone else’s content?

Just show the original video! How did this get popular and what is wrong with those that helped it to happen?

    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.
