Alright, apparently Fox is going to be a pain about that. I have to be AFK for a bit, so I can't put up an alt video until later. My apologies, I will replace this later today.

I say you call a Copyright Lawyer and go after
@20thcenturyfox and@TeamYouTube. They both know what they're doing is illegal under the law they're trying to use against you, and it would probably rally other people with the same issues to bring it up in court. They wouldn't win.2 replies 0 retweets 3 likes -

The main reason this kind of thing hasn't been challenged yet in court is because the legal fees involved in fighting laws that haven't caught up to technology would immediately bankrupt anyone, especially when it's one person fighting a corporate conglomerate.

Except the DMCA specifically protects things like parody and Criticism, so the law is already there and was made for the age of the internet and Youtube in particular. Also, a large enough group of people filing a class action suit would alleviate the costs on everyone involved..

As others have pointed out, Fair Use is a legal defense. One with, at best, basically no legal precedent besides single law that was almost passed in 2007, with no meaningful update since. I'm all in favor of a class action suit, but that would require some form of unionization.

Which, again, with no actual legal precedence currently set, would still be an uphill battle even with a class action suit, assuming any legal firm would be willing to fight that particular battle.

The DMCA was established 20 years ago, and the most notable case of the DMCA ruling in favor of Fair Use was 2007 Lenz v. Universal Music, and that was more than 10 years ago, with no significant change since.
