Reinstate the Jim and Them YouTube Channel – Stop Corey Feldman’s Copyright Abuse!

Jim and Them is a long-running podcast that covers pop culture, celebrities, and internet trends with humor and insightful commentary. A frequent subject of discussion is D-list celebrity and self-proclaimed musician Corey Feldman. Unfortunately, Feldman and his followers have been abusing YouTube’s copyright system to silence any criticism or commentary about him.

Twice now, Feldman has weaponized YouTube’s copyright strike system to take down the Jim and Them channel, despite their content clearly falling under Fair Use. Under U.S. copyright law, Fair Use allows for the use of copyrighted material in a transformative way—such as commentary, criticism, news reporting, and parody—without requiring permission from the copyright holder. Media outlets like TMZ, late-night talk shows, and countless YouTube creators operate under these same principles.

Jim and Them’s videos do not simply re-upload or distribute Feldman’s content—they provide original commentary and analysis, which is legally protected under Fair Use. Yet, Corey Feldman continues to misuse YouTube’s copyright system as a tool for censorship, unfairly silencing creators who dare to critique him.

This petition calls on YouTube to reinstate the Jim and Them channel and take action against the repeated abuse of the copyright strike system. No creator should have their platform taken away simply for providing fair and legal commentary. Sign now to support free speech and hold YouTube accountable!
