    Disney claims the Vader fan film and starts running ads on it to a make profit.

    The claim was manual so this isn't mistake. The Star Wars Theory channel asked Disney and lucasfilm on how to make the film without being copystriked or claimed. The channel didn't crowd fund or asked for donations to fund the film and it doesn't ran any add so it didn't make any profit out of it. So everything came own of the channels on pockets yet they break their promised and claimed the video for a sound track that was edited and shouldn't violated any rule.

    They got claimed on was something that sounds similar, but was not in fact the same thing. Everything else falls under fair use laws. They didn't even run any ads. Disney claimed it and after that they started running ads on it.

    Not cool man

    Do you think this is okay or not? Both lawfully and morally

    What? A global behemoth of a company being greedy? Shocker!
    In all seriousness, whenever large companies give promises that aren't legally binding 9.5 times out of 10 they intend to renege on them. Especially so in the case of there being money to be made.

    Alternatively, this could just be a case of shitty mid-level bureaucracy getting out of hand, since the ones ordering the claims are usually middle managers or their subordinates.

    The law is dead when morals be damned. This is about YouTube's copyright strike system not being managed by YouTube, but the content creators (channels) themselves. The No. 1 subscribed YouTube channel already addressed the algorithm, and discussed the overall unethical use of copyright claims or strikes against smaller channels for profit. Fair use is abused; such is the current era of YouTube.

    This is why a black and white is necessary when dealing with copyrights and patents. You just can't trust someone's words. Even if the person giving the promise is thrustworthy, the bosses can just kick him out and replace him with someone else. Then this someone would say, "We never made that agreement. Mr. **** did not represent us when he agreed to the matter."

    This reminds me of a case where a youtuber got a copyright strike because his neighbor played a music when he was recording his video
