the point i was making which you are trying to ignore

is that fair use authorized is still authorized, and therefore there is no fraud in that case


the problem you are ignoring is that

"this is my favorite quest crew dance routine", is valid commentary

and it is a valid commentary that makes no sense without the clip quest crew dancing.

commentary authorizes a lot of the stuff you misrepresenting as infringement
If you upload my full paysite movie to pornhub, then you know as well as me if you were authorized or not. Not authorized = infringement.

At once others starts to watch, otherwise potential customers, I lose potential income. The market value of my product decrease, just like you printed money and decrease the value of a currency (not to mention loss of tax income, others employed by the revenue etc)
The crime become more serious if you make money off it, which will also eliminate any criteria for fair use/share. The same with those who offer you the distribution and make money off it, if they have knowledge of the infringement, then they are part of a conspiracy.

The infringer are the one misrepresentating. In 99.99% of the cases.
