YouTube is a fantastic source for knowledge – from explainers on the latest Game of Thrones theories, to slow-motion balloons being popped, there is an unprecedented amount of both brilliant and awful content available to anyone with access to the internet.
Unfortunately, that ease of accessibility has also led to a lot of copyright infringement, with entire seasons of popular shows being illegally uploaded to the hosting website. It’s easy to understand why any broadcaster would be stringent on people uploading their shows without permission.
However, in a strange turn of events, Fox managed to get a seven-year-old video they allegedly ‘stole’ removed from the website for violating copyright law.
In an episode of Family Guy, Peter and Cleveland play the NES game Double Dribble, with Peter abusing a technical glitch in the game to win.
Instead of creating their own gameplay footage, the guys over at Family Guy pulled some footage from Youtube user sw1tched, uploaded in 2009.
