Quote - Nothing like judging a viewpoint without seeing the video.  Easy to give a flippant answer. Transcript version though the script is not the same without the video.

The point he's making is how many artists re-use other artists work (especially in music, this is very common). Many songs sample usually without permission of the original artists. The video explains this in a rather humorous way. Technologically speaking the current Apple vs. Samsung patent lawsuit is an example of how consumers lose. Even the judge stated consumers lose (though she sided with Apple in the end). Samsung wasn't allowed to show how Apple "borrowed" ideas from other creators (one example was the tablets being used in Star Trek).

I'm part way throuigh reading it, but I wanted to note that he cites United States v. Thomas Lee and Tinie Causby, but fails to note that in spite of the Common Law basis of their claim having "no place in the modern world", the Supreme Court still found in their favour...
