Selective Enforcement
What is worse is when copyright is selectively enforced. Sometimes, in life, one person will come up with what he or she may think is an original idea. Plagiarism is a tricky debate. It is more than a subject and more a subjective war between what might be recycled, reused, stolen, echoed, parodied,
Well stated.
Negative movie and or game reviewers are much more likely to be sued for copyright infringement and Positive movie and or game reviewers are much more likely to be given a free-pass.
Also, your Competitors are very likely to flag your content for "copyright-infringement" since they win by default, anonymously, without even having to build a case or suffer consequences for false accusations.
YouTube would send me copyright claims from CBS (of Comcast), Sony, ABC, NBC, etc. I would argue for fair use and they would say that it was not fair use. It was fair use. But of course they're going to lie and say it is not fair use. I took down the videos and yet at least three of my channels and thousands of other videos were terminated and lost, that is videos that go back to 1996. Facebook and Twitter went after me as well.
I agree 100%.
