He used nothing of the original (aside from lyrics), therefore it is fair use. For something to be fair use it has to be transformative from the original work. In the end, Roomie is in the right, and Billie's publisher is actually doing something illegal.

I really hope people take the stand and file a class action lawsuit against YouTube.

It isn't YouTube doing this
, it's the big music companies abusing the broken copyright system. If YouTube were to make a proper, working system, the companies would lose out on huge profits and would either sue them into the ground or pull out of advertising.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

Either way YouTube needs to make a middle ground. Most of the stuff the companies have been claiming is 2 seconds of footage or something completely fair use. Either way, they shouldn't be allowed to take 100% of the profit.
