Watched the video. Hmmm…

Haven’t read the link yet. But, based on the video:

It does seem to use multiple movie/TV show/commercial/copyrighted clips almost certainly without permission. The argument that “Fair Use” applies in this situation probably doesn’t apply because the video-maker isn’t citing the clips in order to comment on them or review them or analyze them, but simply to just use them for their entertainment value to draw in viewers. Which, actually, does count as copyright violation. Just in the first minute, there is a Steve Carell stand-up comedy routine, a scene from Buckaroo Banzai, and an Apple Computer commercial. Did he get permission from all those copyright holders before using them? Almost certainly not.

Next problem i see is that, the video seems to be based on the “straw man” fallacy — i.e. pick out the weakest representative of the opposing side, and then attack him — ignoring all the stronger arguments.

So far, what I have seen is weak!
