Is YouTube's copyright system fine, while the world's is...broken? That's what famous YouTuber Tom Scott has asserted in his latest, aptly titled: "YouTube's Copyright System Isn't Broken. The World's Is." In our first response video in some time, we dive into Mr. Scott's claims on both legal and rhetorical levels: What is the current state of intellectual property enforcement?

Because we (apparently) only respond to Scotts...in Virtual Legality.
