You can use copyrighted material in a fair use setting. The lego movies are definitely fair use.

This sort of pathetic, humourless legal move by the Org could add to the Cognitive Dissonance of active J.W's.
Deep down a JW may wonder: " Why do they want to hide what we are ? ". As usual, such people will shove thoughts like that to the back of their mind, but that is the place where they fester and grow , until they actually inflict a kind of pain, and the JW will have to act upon those feelings.
I know, that is what happened to me.

The one thing I would say is that "Kevin" maybe needs to be a bit cuter in his videos to avoid risking this kind of action. His statements suggesting these are unauthorised leaks don't help and are the sort of thing Youtube will pounce on , given a complaint. Youtube don't take the overall obvious comedic parody content into account as this is subjective. I have noticed Lloyd Evans ( for example ) is a lot more circumspect these days having been the subject of the Societies actions before - there has to be an explicit understanding that video clips are the subject of legitimate criticism.
I often wonder about the WT goons whose job it is to actually view this kind of content , trawling Youtube to find examples of transgressions. Are they so far conditioned that they can just view it without in any way being affected or waking up?

Yes they are. Back in the day, I knew of a retired Circuit Overseer then pretty old whose job at Bethel was to sit and read newspapers and report back anything of interest . I bet nowadas they search Youtube and other sites. These oldies are unreachable.
This action really does seem petty.Those Lego videos are gently satirical not nasty . The "fair use" of copyright material seems to be a grey area. Perhaps this is a test case?

I had wondered what had happened to Kevin, since he didn't make it in time to the compound in the WT Bunker video a few years back. Good to see he's still alive and kickin.

No sense of humor. The CO jokes about 4 door cars, parking at assemblies, uncomfortable seating.
We can recognize the personalities. Wolf for the COBE, brothers who can afford to fly on vacation commenting on someone else having a caravan.

The elders as wolves is pretty funny, I gotta say. Not far off from what I hear.
