if you so much as say the same word as some one already did, then copyright will fuck you in the ass
You fucking bastard, you used the word "Was" in a YouTube video, i'm gonna copy strike you! <-Example of deadly use of copyright.

Copyright is a system which protects a persons official work.
When someone copies, reproduces, or does anything to a protected work that recreates any original work in it, they are going against the rules of copyright. The original creator of that piece of work can sue the person who broke the rule against his work.
Remember that copyright does not protect even official work forever. When it is no longer protected by copyright, it becomes part of the public domain. This means people can now copy this piece of work.
You can get permission from the owner to copy the piece of work, and if he/she says yes, you can copy their work without any trouble.
Another thing you should know about copyright is "fair use." Fair use is a rule in which works can be used for purposes, like education, parodies, and more.
Other Fact:
There is even a symbol for copyright. (©)

Copywritten? Righted?
Hym "YES! They are all using the same copyrighted theory of AI. That is why it worked now and it DIDN'T before. That's what's happening there."

Hym "Guys, I'm not going to use your copyright to screw you the way you're trying to use my copyright to screw me. I'm better than you. Truly. So much better it actually boggles the mind. The BEST some might say. But that's neither here nor there. You guys are a bunch of egotistists. Relax."

Hym "This is the equivalent of a piece of paper. Or writing it on a two-way mirror. If I write something on a two way mirror the guy on the other side of the glass just gets to steal it? And why would I not murder kids over that? Sounds like a copyright to me. Setting up the site as though it were a two-mirror explicitly so you can launder and profiteer? How is that not exactly what is happening here?"

The reason your youtube video was taken down. 3 seconds of a copyrighted song? Taken down. An edited version of a small clip of a copyrighted video or movie? Taken down.
