Copyright laws are a favorite instrument of preventing stuff that you do not want to happen. In one country, making reaction videos or analysing news with clips from proprietary news channel is very common. Then came a guy, who used news clips to create Before/After clips of politicians of a certain party. In these clips, the same person would be saying completely opposite things- on camera, and publicly- some years apart. These videos went viral. The party was in power. They forced the news channels to claim copyright to YouTube, and as they were legitimate, YT did take down those videos. So, yes, when they say that he was arrested for copyright claims- I don't trust that.
