Would it depend on length or something?

Hasn't DBZA more or less been given the okay by the source anyway? I mean they're literally famous; at least one of hem voiced a character in Xenoverse. Nappa, I think.

That didn't stop Toei from taking down their videos and monetizing them when they got put back up.

I'm a little unclear on copyright, but from what I can gather, to not infringe on copyright and to fall under fair use, they have to be first, transformative and second, have to add something to the original.
Which people like for instance, Jinx, are not doing at all. All he does is record himself watching a video in its entirety and adding little to no useful commentary on it.

I do not know who is Jinx is. With Team Four Star, however, I think it's under protection, because they not only do new voice over work for it, they also have edited entire scenes differently than the original.

TFS was "approved" by Funimation (though they politely(?) asked to TFS to stop making Attack on Titan Abridged because it was too new or something), not Toei.

TFS got into trouble with the Japanese company that made Attack on Titan, not Funimation.

Ah, okay.

Transformative and additive.

From what I hear, some Japanese companies are really protective over their work if they perceive people are making fun of it. That's actually why it took years for the Gamera episodes of Mystery Science Theater 3000 to get put on DVD, and why they still don't have the two Godzilla episodes on DVD.

It's not just that, Japanese games companies can get downright weird, Sega Japan once nuked several entire channel (including trying to strike at least one review/critical channel) simply so that they could improve the search rankings of a trailer for a sequel.

That's not even getting into EMI's latest round of crap. They've almost purged not just You Tube, but almost every other video site in existence (including Vimeo and Dailymotion) in their attempt to, for whatever reason, remove The Beatles from being listened to outside of the VEVO channel that only has a few of their songs on it.

There was a small group called 5 Guys who made an abridged series on K-on!. Several of their videos got taken down and they eventually had to create an entirely new channel. They never finished the series.

Meh, pulling actual copywrited music is fair enough, in the end it is being illegally uploaded. But pulling legitimate transformative works and even censoring what amounts press criticism, for search rankings, that's batshit.

I think Weird Al has had a lot of problems with copyright. He's had a lot of bad blood with Atlantic Records that the music video for White and Nerdy has him editing their Wikipedia page to read "YOU SUCK" (yes, in all caps).

Still just awesome like that
Wait, aren't the Beatles' songs alread okayed for use on You Tube? I know I've seen unauthorized videos using Beatles songs that were monetized in a way that pays out royalties to the rights holders.
Insert witty 'n clever quip here.

I have no clue, all I know is that one day they were there, then they weren't, and now hardly anywhere has them.

That's not the video being legal, it's still an illegal upload, however the copywrite holder can choose to monetise the video and take the money if they want, why they sometimes do that and sometimes issue a takedown I don't know.

But then there's the fact that if you're putting the song in YT's database to automatically monetize it when it's used, then you're giving implicit permission for people to use it, from which you would reap the royalties. Like, if you didn't want people to do that in the first place, show some consistency.

Abridging falls under fairuse due to it being a parody but at the same time no abridger can directly monetize from the abridged either since they are directly using copyrighted footage.
But yeah, youtube's Content ID and Copyright claim system is total bullshit. Jim Sterling has been complaining about this stuff for years. As long as someone can make claim with no possibility of consequences they are going to keep doing it.

You think we could get a bill passed that deals with this or something?
It's one thing to make a spectacle. It's another to make a difference.

Nope, it's not a problem with the law, it's a problem with You Tube, You Tube could change it tomorrow so that after X number of false claims any claims you make have to be approved by a person before a takedown, or after suffering X number of false claims claims against you no longer result in an automatic takedown.

CR of Familiar Faces, Josh Scourcher, Dr. Wolf, and Anime America have so far all made videos supporting Doug Walker's #WTFU movement.

Yes, like that accomplishes anything on You Tube.

They are technically parody, so they should. Not 100% on the intricacies of it, though.
