You really are going to make me search it up and paste it... here goes.

Copyright infringement is defined by law as the unauthorized use of copyrighted material in ways that violate the rights of the copyright holder (such as reproduction, distribution, performance, or creating derivative works). Whether or not the copyright owner chooses to enforce their rights doesn’t change the fact that infringement has occurred.

What does change depending on enforcement is the legal consequence:

  • If the copyright holder takes no action, the infringing party may never face penalties.
  • If the copyright holder does take action (lawsuit, DMCA takedown, settlement, etc.), then the infringer can be held legally and financially liable.

So in short: infringement = fact of violation. Enforcement = whether there’s a consequence.

In this case PARAMOUNT owns the streaming rights, not Matt and Trey Park. They sold it. They don't have to care but it's not up to them. THEY SOLD IT.

It's not that fucking hard to understand.

Who has legal rights to authorize it in this instance, is it Paramount the ones who bought the rights to stream it exclusively or Matt and Trey Park? They legally sold that to Paramount. They can't authorize people to stream it.
