RE: Fair use?
I honestly think that if no one is profiting, there's no problem. It's true that everything belongs to the author, but you just can't stop the internet. And just to be as clear as water: I'm not talking about things like uploading full movies in the internet, and by doing so, "preventing" people from watching it in the cinema, just about fan-made things.

Usually, "indie" authors don't care if fans are making stuff about their work because it actually helps them to be more known.

Big corporations usually hate fan-made things because they're afraid that someone might use their work to get money(which is indeed wrong), but most of things taken down are totally harmless. Of course, the corporations just take everything down because they won't look what is harmless and what is not.

Here in my country, a lot of fandubs are taken down. Ok, it's wrong to upload all the content in the internet, but, usually just series that have no chance of being released here are fandubbed. Furthermore, if(by miracle) the serie is announced to be released here, the fandubbers just stop(if they've already fandubbed the whole thing, they are the first ones to tell people to watch and buy the official stuff).

I also think the Copyright Laws are old. They were made long time ago and they need to be reviewed because times changed, and a lot.

OBS: Why were the Finnish videos taken down? If he wasn't using original content, theoretically, he isn't copying anyone. If I'm not mistaken, people are allowed to make parodies.
