I'm Amo Good, today I want to tell you a story about disappointment…
In seven minutes, Amo Good finished talking about the popular Japanese animation film "Your Name." Amo Good usually adds his sarcastic comments over film's plot and this has been his unique style for all his weekly film commentaries. Recently some film companies filed legal action against Amo Good for copyright infringement. Amo Good refuted the accusation.

The short series of "Watching a Movie within Whatever Minutes," you can see there are many similar derivative videos over the internet. Some came with effects of commenting over ecological researches, teaching and news reports. I only used 1/10 or 1/100 from original work for commentary. And the most important thing is, I have never charged any fee from my channel viewers.
Amo Good insists that his works are derivative works, but film companies accused him of unauthorized editing and public transmission. Lawyer said that Amo Good has violated fair use doctrine, and he is to be held liable for both criminal and civil charges.

If we look at from the simple aspect of behavior, he in fact constitutes to copyright infringement. As to the definition of reproduction as derivative work, even if he only edited and used partial film footage and influenced viewers' willingness to watch the film in cinema, this is indeed an infringement to film copyright.
Since 2015, Amo Good had commented over most popular films and TV dramas and he had produced over a hundred commentary videos. Although Amo Good says he follows fair use doctrine, but police searched Amo Good's company and confiscated six videos. Police has filed Amo Good for copyright violation and Taipei District Prosecutors Office is to subpoena Amo Good.

==網路紅人 谷阿莫==
X分鐘看完電影系列的短片
你可以在網路上看到
非常多類似我這樣的二次創作
有符合評論解說生態研究
心得教學和新聞報導的效果
而我只擷取了十分之一
到百分之一的原著作內容
來進行解說而且更重要的是
我沒有跟任何觀看我製作的
短片的使用者收取任何的費用
谷阿莫堅稱自己是「二次創作」,片商指控他未取得授權,就擅自剪輯影片內容和公開傳輸。律師分析,谷阿莫已經超過法律所界定的「合理使用原則」,將面臨刑事和民事責任。
==律師 黃亞蘋==
如果只是單純就行為來看
事實上他有構成侵害著作權法上
所謂的改作重製的部份
那如果就算說只是
有剪了部份的影片
但是如果說影片在
已經影響到大家看了這個影片
就不會去市場上看這個電影的話
確實還是有侵害著作權法的問題
從2015年到現在,大部分當紅電影以及電視劇,都經過谷阿莫的評論,或說成另一個故事,製作超過百部以上的作品,谷阿莫雖然自認合理使用,但警方搜索谷阿莫所屬的公司,查扣六部影評影片,依違反著作權法函送法辦,台北地檢署近期將傳喚調查。
