I figured out why I keep getting plagiarized.
Over the past few years, I’ve noticed something strange on YouTube. When I search for an old video I made, I’ll find it — but right below, there’s often something else: copycats. Some are AI-generated recreations that twist my original scripts and visuals into something uncanny, while others are near-identical remakes stitched together from my own work. I set out to find out whether any of this was legal — and discovered how new tools are blurring the line between inspiration and exploitation.
