Hitler reacts to the Hitler parodies being removed from YouTube - http://mag.ma/andrew/520253
Constantin Film AG is having YouTube remove re-subtitled clips of Hitler’s outburst scene in their film Downfall, even though they have no right to do so. Hitler reacts to the news. Downfall is Copyright © 2004 Constantin Film AG, portions used under Fair Use
“The movie got international attention and now they pull this shit?!! Haven’t they heard of Fair Use? Title 17, U.S.C., Section 107??!?!”
ROTFL etc
Note: I didn’t rent (or know about) Downfall until I saw a bunch of reaction videos. Bruno Ganz owned it.
This vid reminds me of the same frustrating thing with Japanese comedies like my beloved Gaki no Tsukai and Asian dramas in general—-there’s a global army of nerds diligently collaborating on fansubbing all of these tv shows and movies, thus giving them wider international exposure and expanded fanbases that the copyright owners couldn’t have dreamed of. And then they issue takedown orders. Dum-dums. Or savvy.
Copyright catch-22.

This is interesting, it’s a self-meta-meme, a meme about itself.
