Hi everyone, I was just wondering something.
There's quite a few monetized youtubers who do nothing more than post clips of music videos, anime etc.
I'm not talking about putting together a montage or using them as a reference and talking about them, but just plain showing like a 5 minute video of someone else's work.
Does Youtube really allow that? I would think that it's copyright infringement.
Yeah, call me envious if you like, but I don't think it's right that a lot of people put in hard work to make videos and only get a handful of views while someone else just post a clip of
someone else's work, not even adding to it or altering it in any way, and then getting monetized after a fews weeks and starts making money from it.
