  1. The line of that legality can be blurred with overzealous IP Holders. In short... Japanese Copyright Law is a good example of blurred lines because they don't have Fair Use Law. America should avoid following the same draconian laws. But certainly, debates can be have when xqc is an example of terrible React Content.

  2.  @Jigsawn2  From a corporate view... It's usually a $15k legal extortion or drop the video, no matter what. And many mid to low YouTubers often either drop the video or pay up. Very few actually challenge it in court. And $15k per infringement is pretty normal for corporate copyrights on YouTube. Not enough to cause legal questions but just enough to profit off the "justice" system. (Sad truth is... What I just stated is very real on YouTube and all too common.)

  3.  @BallisticTech  YouTube is YouTube... That corp has never been known to be legally fair. And Content ID isn't obligated under USA Copyright. That would be DMCA. Content ID is separate from the law.

  5.  @dimebeth  You can't sue YouTube. They're protected under Section 230 and Safe Harbor Laws. As well as how USA Copyright DMCA is written.

  6.  @DanLifschitzEsq  Content ID isn't a law in America. YouTube is not in obligation. It's DMCA that is legally binding. In short... Content ID and DMCA are not the same but similar. Content ID isn't even a law/USA government regulation.

  7.  @DanLifschitzEsq  True... But Fraud is too easy to do on YouTube. And YouTube allows it, too often.

  8.  @SnakebitSTI  True... Also... Content ID isn't a law nor regulation from America.

  9.  @alexisborden3191  It's free PR in the end.

  10.  @BallisticTech  The fact that Markiplier cannot obtain his own Content ID for his projects on YouTube... Is evidence enough that Content ID is not a USA legal regulation but of corporate jurisdiction. Not to mention how easy it is to abuse the DMCA under YouTube time after time again.

  11.  @TheDapperCat  USA Copyright is complicated. Take Photography for example. Two people can take the photo of the same Model in the same Scenery and the Court will see it as two different copyrighted works despite, physically, being the real banana on the wall. (I speak of two legal cases here.)
