Over the past few years, I’ve noticed something strange on YouTube. When I search for an old video I made, I’ll find it — but right below, there’s often something else: copycats. Some are AI-generated recreations that twist my original scripts and visuals into something uncanny, while others are near-identical remakes stitched together from my own work. I set out to find out whether any of this was legal — and discovered how new tools are blurring the line between inspiration and exploitation.
I found this video really interesting, since it highlights how large language models have worsened the problem of freebooting (rehosting content for views and money) by making it much easier to automate the theft of ideas while "transforming" the delivery. The video also includes some discussion on why US copyright law would likely fail to provide protection against this.
