WMG isn't making any friends with the creative community, that's for sure.
Posting entire films/episodes in chunks is wrong, no arguement there.
But making a spoof/parody/re-edit whatever of, say, under 3 mins, does no harm. In most cases it's a bit more publicity for the material involved.
Fair Use needs updating for the 21st century.
