How do sites like Patreon get away with copyright infringement?

1.01K views

So many youtube reactors post only 10 minutes of movie footage as fair use and point to sites like Patreon to watch their full-length reactions, but how is that not a copyright infringement? Does paywalling copyrighted content let them get away with it?

Patreon operates under the “Safe Harbor” rules in copyright laws.

Essentially, they are are not responsible for the content their users upload.

If someone reports a copyright claim then Patreon has a responsibility to investigate that and act accordingly but they only have to do that IF someone files a claim.
