He's telling them both to follow the law. YouTube has some more leeway, but some of that allows Evans to act through the same legal process. He doesn't like how YouTube is operating, but he sees how they are doing it and how to counter it at some level.
The problem usually comes from selective enforcement, which is why he mentioned beta male Markiplier. All this stuff would affect him in the same way if YouTube applied the same rules to everyone, but it chooses not to do so.
Like I noticed the other day, if you go to a Civilization (the song) video that has been claimed it shows 24 fucking companies have "licensed" the song to youtube, that means all of them are milking ad moneys out of it.
Keeping in mind the song was released in 1948.
And everyone involved, from performers to compositors have long passed away.
Now I don't think it's right for randoms to be making ad money from old songs on youtube, and I include all those 24 scam companies as "random" too since I highly doubt any of that money is going to the artists, because they're all dead.

isn't it amazing that no matter how much of an asshole a company is, there would be always be some randoms on social media to defend them?
Randoms?
That is the PR firm in action. Who do you think gets this shit deleted from Reddit?
Leonard French is a lawyer on YouTube. He's like a mini-Dershowitz, but nicer. He's been cool to me when we've talked.
Sorry if it's unclear from the quotes but French is telling YouTube to follow the law, he's on Gareth's side.

Copyright on youtube is absolutelly broken.
Doesn't matter. Under the copyright laws New York is forcing everyone to follow, copyright term is like last creator's death + 75 years.
Yeah but only untill its 74 years since Walt Disney is dead, then the politicians will receive an "incentive" by disney to extend it to 100.
