    Is everything this guy says and does true?

    Copyrighted products ect turns into a copyright VIOLATION when you'll use the original song in your videos? if you sing it, doesn't really matter does it? images, only if you are using them like you own them.

    Right?

    Well, he's right about the specious definition of copyright and the way media companies abuse it...for me, the best point he made was by pointing the camera at his own computer to show the Simpsons movie.
    As far as the truth of his claims about copyright- seems like there was some research, and it sounds about right to me. The law is slanted to restrict freedom of speech.
    BTW, noticed that you are from the UK...this wouldn't happen to be your video, would it?
    And I think this is in the wrong section too. Viva la Revolucion!
