wow, that's really generous.
right now there's practically a witch-hunt going on netwide, with youtube in particular regarding any copyright infringement
it's basically a fad at this moment
music, art, media, anything
you can't even hum a tune without clearing the copyright(ok, it's not that bad...)
and there is often little insight, and/or foresight involved
I understand both sides, but in some cases it is disappointing(such as partymanner's video library). There are cases when copyright infringement may be damaging to the owners, and then there are some different sorts of cases where the copyright infringement has created something that is actually beneficial to the owners.
An endangered minority of the total mass of cases are ridiculously blind actions, where had an entrepreneurial ace been looking the case over, he may have seen instances where particularly creative beneficial use of copyrighted material was practically something they should be FUNDING.
