Eh, some of them are interesting to watch, a few creative ideas here and there, but yeah, it's mostly just pointless. "If Activision or Microsoft intended for Greenday to be the soundtrack to Call of Duty, they would have used it instead of spending millions of dollars recording custom sound effects and music for these games" (Maddox).
I suppose it's no big loss to anyone that these videos are being taken down, but at the same time, I don't feel these videos are really hurting the copyright holders, whether they fall under the category of copyright infringement or not. But this is getting a bit off topic: the above video was simply a small clip from a show, not an entire episode, yet copyright holders felt the need to have it taken down because it somehow threatens their revenue, I guess.
