They literally do reactions and commentary on the clips. And yes it's certainly possible jukin could win. Never disputed that. They could win and be awarded 150,000$ per clip iirc.
.
That doesn't change the fact that it's extremely unlikely that they would win anywhere near that over clips they license for 50$. OR that they'd win at all. There have been dozens of cases just like this where companies are clearly abusing the system and they don't win.
.
Hell, Sony went to court over the use of the phrase "Let's Play" and they lost. And yes, copyrighting common phrases and then wrongfully striking people for using them is another thing Jukin Media does.
.
The only reason they've gotten away with it so long is because people don't feel they have any options, don't understand what or how to fight, can't afford to fight, and get absolutely 0 help from YouTube.

But they don't want to go through the legal system. Because they know they're unlikely to win. Companies have tried in the past. Bigger companies than Jukin. It's tedious, time-consuming, expensive, and there is a high likelihood they would fail. Even if they won they would likely not be awarded 6000$.
.
Extorting people from the shadows is much more effective. Or it used to be. But they're getting all the wrong kind of attention now. And I think they are concerned about the court of public opinion. Because in this scenario their entire brand is based on those same people going against them now providing them with the very content theyre exploiting

... Possibly because, from what I can tell (and what I've seen the legal side of the internet mention) Jukin has almost no legal leg to stand on.
.
In most cases the clips are being used in a "highly transformative" manner, or for critique/commentary. Which means it falls under Fair Use, and in that case Jukin has no right to copy-strike them at all.
.
And regardless of that, even if they feel they do have the right to copy-strike, that is ALL they have the right to do. They can use YouTube's copy-strike system and then they can go through the legal system.
.
What they cannot do is claim they have the right to retroactively demand thousands of dollars for the use of a clip with a $50 licencing fee. Especially from people they had no contract with. ESPECIALLY with the implied threat that they will literally dedicate their time to destroying channels if the people in question don't give in.

People are starting to actually gain traction pointing out the flaws in the company's entire layout.
.
Offering to copyright content such as photos which the creator owns the rights to *from the moment the picture is taken.* Which largely applies to recorded videos as well if I'm understanding correctly.
.
This makes Jukin's entire company hinged on providing two things: a hub for clip organization (which apparently is not well organized at all.. Possibly because they don't want people being able to see what clips they own the licences to with any type of ease). And a bloodhound service to go track down the clips being used without permission.
.
Except they weren't doing that with any consistency either. In MxR's case, iirc they were by and large pulling their clips off of places like Reddit etc. Many of the clips had also been featured in other youtube videos - by people who had never been contacted by Jukin Media. Yet Jukin rarely went after any of those people...

That explains why they reached an agreement with MxR behind the scenes instead of continuing to harass them for 6000$, and scouring their other videos for more content to strike.
.
I imagine it was becoming a bit tedious for Jukin, being unable to make a post or reach out to anyone across any social media platform without being flooded by people calling them extortionists. They were losing business. People are mass tagging youtube - hell, Youtubers with contacts at YouTube were reaching out to them, pointing out the company's extreme abuse of the copy-strike system.
.
And it was only going to get worse. People are beginning to point out the holes in the way they operate, and dig into their dirty laundry.

As a side note - even though this wasn't directed at me, I feel inclined to point out:
.
I haven't met a single person who isn't at the very least disgusted by Epstein and the prince involved in it. Many people are also pissed off at the president of the United States for various things he's done. Others still have memefied the PM of Canada for being racist. Still others have made it their mission to bring the corruption of leaders of countries like North Korea and China to light.
.
This post wasn't about any of that. Disliking one group of people for what they do does not disqualify you from disliking others. It also does not mean you are obligated to condemn others with every breath you take.
.
This post was about Megan and Harry, and the comments reasonably are centered around them.
.
.
And for the record - I don't even personally like or dislike Megan and Harry. I would have been quite content to never think of them again at all

They're also potentially threatening to live in Canada at least part time. Which, honestly, they can do what they want, I just hope they don't expect Canada to pay for it

I may not always see eye to eye with rosalinas but one thing I can attest is she always forms her own opinion and thinks for herself.

I forgot to reply to this yesterday. I was saying I wish the original pic or the Photoshop skills were mine. They're not, unfortunately.

I appreciate you letting me know though :)
