Regardless of how I feel about the current state of copyright law, there's no madness on youtube, simply the following of the law.

There's long held exceptions to copyright, namely parody. Weird Al doesn't have copyright problems (I mean he'd get upwards of 5 lawsuits per song, that's like over 50 cases per album) because he doesn't copy them.

I truly hope I never get busted for pirating, but until the law allows it I'm not going to complain it's absurd if I do. I wouldn't mind a law being passed allowing me to shoot rappers, however I'm not going to complain it's unfair if I get arrested for murder because I took down 50 Cent with a .50 cal rifle!

The law isn't very obtuse on things like this. Everyone posting copies of videos on youtube or videos of them singing it or anything like that, it is illegal even if it is stupid.
