If you post copyrighted material, they will take it down. I’ve never heard of anyone being sued over a YouTube video, but your user account might get banned. There was an incident with Japanese tv shows suing YouTube over use of clips from their shows without permission, but those have since been taken down and I’m pretty sure nothing came of it. Acting out a scene from a movie doesn’t violate any copyright laws as long as you don’t try to take credit for any part of it. Just have a title come up that says something like “This a scene from…” and you’re set. That’s only if you’re doing the scene word-for-word, though. If you’re doing a parody then that’s covered under Fair Use and doesn’t violate any copyright laws.
they actually dont exist. its a made up rule that a retard created to get the smosh pokemontheme off of youtube
