There's clearly a demand for this sort of high effort memeing using bad CG. This guy is making 1.5k a month on Patreon and yet there's absolutely no way he secured the rights to all of the copy protected elements present in these videos, or to use what are clearly CC3 Headshot scans of actual people. Is there really any risk of being sued in doing shit like this? I want to make 1.5k a month making youtube poop- but I also don't want to destroy my chances of working professionally in the industry or get slapped with a lawsuit. Is he just getting away with it because it has a milquetoast liberal message? How concerned do you need to be about this sort thing? Releasing shitty CG videos with copywritten elements under a pseudonym and collecting patreon bux for it? I don't want to work for pixar or anything but I also don't want to get sued into oblivion

Not a lawyer but it probably goes under quotation, fair use or satire.

Tbh it's pretty well executed even though the message is completely pants on head retarded and tonedeaf- as if playing le ominous over the top music and having the viewers react unrealistically somehow makes it not true or weird that they constructed a fake white house, or not a problem that violent crime in major cities is up. It's a common thing I notice normies doing, like how they'll actually repeat completely rational and fact based conservative ideas but in a stereotypical southern trailer trash accent which in their minds is somehow an argument said idea. Attacking a fake projection of a person instead of the argument they're putting forward is brainlet tier shit.

That being said I really love this uncanny and lazy style and I really wish I had a better idea of what you can realistically get away with. There's definitely stuff going on in these videos people could make claims for, but they presumably will never bother because of a combination of this guy being such a small fish and the ideas he's putting forward essentially being pure mainstream liberal propaganda

a lot of this shit has ripped from video games. you can literally see a left 4 dead character half way through this video.
also:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aULN4dCkGQ0 - the basement set i'm 99% sure is from gta iv
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zhD7o7fct4E - pretty much all from metal gear solid
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uWXxlYzBCno - girl is from detroit become human
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YiYnNmigbmQ - guy from resident evil
what i'm pretty sure this guy is chucking a load of shit together in daz, animating it (he's a pretty decent animator) and targeting it at leftists

And that's what I'm really uncertain about. He definitely didn't get permission to use all of or probably any of this stuff, but he's monetizing them and making enough for a single guy to live off comfortably. One of his patrons is even that h3h3 motherfucker. Is this safe? Is it only safe because he's a leftist making leftist content? Or is he getting away with it simply because nobody really has a compelling enough reason to care?

I feel so limited in my creativity by not having any capital. If I wanted to create a short film or mini series I basically can't make it take place in the real world because I can't use anything at all from pop culture without permission. Or can I? Does nobody actually give a shit? Really even beyond the copyright stuff this whole subject seems very contentious to me. I've been putting a lot of effort into learning how to actually animate on a professional level but I don't actually want to work for dreamworks or anything, I want to execute all of the retarded schizo ideas I've been sitting on for years and earn enough to pay a mortgage with it

>Is this safe?
It is not and copyright faggotry can get expensive if they decide you went too far. But as always, high risk = high gains but also high pains if you get unlucky.

You could say the same about any of those smut artists using disney / nintendo characters

This Alt-Right dude has been similar copyright violating stuff for what is now closing in on a decade.

It is not safe, but the risk is clearly low.

Chances are, you'd just get a cease and desist first, but even if you did get sued, which is clearly unlikely, I'm sure you wouldn't be bankrupted by it.

The reality is that suing someone is a lengthy and costly process and generally not worth it.
