While I agree it's childish and detrimental to youtubers and the industry in general, tedious and seemingly arbitrary copyright claims are necessary for intellectual property rights. They seem arbitrary because they don't catch everything. But a company needs to maintain a visible vigilance over their materials 3rd party use. The main reason being that, should claims ever go to court, a company must display an equal level of protection of its property against all who use it. Otherwise, if they allow certain "offences" to go unanswered, their claims lose weight, resulting in a loss of control over their intellectual property. Imagine a group of kids, Jimmy owns a toy, he leaves it out and some of the kids come and play with it. Jimmy sees this and does nothing. Then this goes on for a while then Frank starts playing with it and Jimmy throws a fit, asking the teacher to make Frank give it back. Teacher says to him that since he let everyone else play with it that Frank should get a turn too and since Jimmy had no issue with the others, they are all using the toy the same way, there should be no issue with Frank, and and action against Frank would seem unfair. But as is customary in any business, if you have an opportunity to have your cake and eat it too, you go for it. The IP owners will release material in a quantity or method that gets them all the expo they need despite the copyright claims they will inevitably make. If the courts can come to the conclusion that they are making a reasonable effort to protect their IP then they are protected. And since it would be unreasonable to expect them to initiate copyright claims on EVERY "offender", they can let a LOT of it slip, getting them their expo while maintaining control. Despite it's arbitrary outward appearance, it is really quite deliberate.
