And yes, I created it. I didn't simply google up an image and COPY it.
You don't even know the law you are trying to quote.
And that would basically be your problem.

And tubes with user uploaded material fits right into the copyright laws as well. You are ok with parody (legal) because you are OK with it but a lot of people don't like their shit used in this manner. Can't fall back on the law for one thing then bitch about the same set of laws for the stuff you don't like.
By the way, that would be similar to me taking a BMW and changing how the front end looks when 85% of it is exactly the same. Can I claim fair use or not? What about a script you write? Can I change 10% of the code, call it fair use and distribute it?
I know what laws I'm talking about. You've gone off in 3 different directions so I'm just continuing the conversation instead of trying to figure out what exactly you want to accomplish. This conversation started about the length of time shit is copyrighted for but you keep on digging, accusing me of pirating, etc.
I've said clearly and several times that it's irrelevant. The law is what it is and you are going to have to work within it. They are not going to pass legislation that makes YouTube illegal to operate and the entire rest of the internet is fighting against it.
Good luck yelling about right and wrong all the way down.
