In an unexpected turn of events, the director of the Pirate Bay documentary TPB-AFK has sent takedown notices to YouTube requesting its removal. The director states that he sees the streaming portal as a radicalizing platform full of hate. The takedowns are not without controversy, however, as TPB-AFK was published under a Creative Commons license.

Are you telling me that this, the most obvious question of legality of profit in the entire pipeline of uploading content since around 2013, has not been considered by any court up to this year of Arceus of 2025?

Name another movie uploaded under this exact CC license has been striken down under DMCA for the same ideological reasons... You make it sound like this court case pops up every week, and it doesn't. There's no precedence as far as I can find--which means it's not a question which can be answered with any supporting empirical evidence. It requires a court case to say definitively if its legal or not.
