Kloetzly drew attention to videos featuring 'fast cars, and dangerous men who drive inappropriately', saying they were evidence that Swift was aiming her products at the same edgy, tattooed crowd that buy his clothing, jewelry, body spray, car plates and other items.

Plaintiffs gonna plaint

"Haters gone hate, playas gone play. Watch

out for them fakers, they'll fake you everyday.

'Cause the players gonna play, play, play, play, play/ And the haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate,' and 'And the fakers gonna fake, fake, fake, fake, fake.' 

The Grab

The filings prohibit the use of those phrases, which all come from her 2014 album 1989, from appearing without a license on everything from guitar straps and other accessories to removable tattoos.

Some of the more obscure items covered by her trademarks include typewriters, walking sticks, non-medicated toiletries, Christmas stockings, pot holders, lanyards, aprons, whalebone, napkin holders and the particularly ominous collection of "whips, harness and saddlery."

On October 26 2012, a YouTube user named crimewriter95 posted a full-length version of Pulp Fiction, rearranged in chronological order.

The legendary movie itself placed into chronological order. If you'd like me to put the full movie itself up, let me know and I'll be glad to oblige. Please no copyright infringement. I only put this up as a project.

disclaimers like this

The most common of the half-million disclaimers used at YouTube is apparently "No Copyright Intended" which -- despite its ambiguous meaning -- is about as effective as going 90 MPH in your car with a sign that says "No Speeding Intended." 

Unfortunately, claiming fair use doesn't mean that the work qualifies as a fair use. Only a court can determine that...  but it may set a more sympathetic tone for you as a defendant if you find yourself responding to a lawsuit.

Under current copyright law, nearly every cover song on YouTube is technically illegal. Every fan-made music video, every mashup album, every supercut, every fanfic story? Quite probably illegal, though largely untested in court.

No amount of lawsuits or legal threats will change the fact that this behavior is considered normal ... 

WHAT'S THE

MENTAL MODEL

OF COPYRIGHT?

primarily a claim of authorship?

is there a generational divide in copyright morality?

Well, if you want to monetize your videos, have access to all the features available to other users, set up a paid channel, avoid suspension or a ban and possible legal action by a third party, it matters a lot that you play by the rules as far as publishing content on YouTube goes.

Innocent until proven guilty?

A Let’s Play thread, or LP, is a thread in which a person or group plays through a video game and chronicles their progress by posting videos, screenshots with accompanying text, or a mixture of both

'Let's Plays' are making some YouTubers a ridiculous amount of money, but since there's never been anything like it in the past, no one knows exactly how to deal with it. 

I think filing claims against LPers is backwards. Video games aren’t like movies or TV. Each play-through is a unique audiovisual experience. When I see a film that someone else is also watching, I don’t need to see it again. When I see a game that someone else is playing, I want to play that game for myself! Sure, there may be some people who watch games rather than play them, but are those people even gamers? ~  Zack Scott

Nintendo seems to acknowledge that providing let’s players with a financial incentive to continue playing their games and bringing them to the public eye is better than not having those games on YouTube at all.

Now, the Creators Program will divide the ad revenue between the content creators and Nintendo. For the average channel, the split will be 60% user, 40% Nintendo
