It's definitely a representation of the original but much like how you can just reverse a video to avoid copyright this isn't an exact copy of the original.
Edit: I realize now that I was wrong about the reversed video. I do however think this is a weak case legally since it's not an exact copy but I obviously don't know what I'm talking about. Lol
You can't simply reverse a video to avoid copyright. What gave you that idea?
People do it all the time on YouTube?
Surely you're joking? People do it on YouTube to avoid automated detection. You would be laughed out of court for trying to assert copyright over a reversed video as a derivative work.
...automated detection is not law. It's illegal, and if reported, will be pulled. If money is made from monetization, the channel can also be sued. Getting away with breaking a rule doesn't magically mean you then automatically also get away with breaking a law. Reversing a video is considered "minor modification" that does not transform the original sufficiently to make it a new work.
It's staggering to me how many people in this thread are completely ignorant of copyright law. I guess that's a reflection of the times though.
Lol. That's just to avoid the auto detection bots so it doesn't get easily noticed for copyright infringement. People reverse the videos so they don't get caught so quickly. Not because it makes them legal.
