In germany it explicitly includes that you can use as much stuff of some else if you add something or make a parody, just copying is obviously forbidden
In the US the law does that. Even reaction videos that basically show the original are generally OK. The problem is that generally places for the general public to post things, don't want to spend the legal costs of checking every claim. So they do a guilty until proven innocent approach where if someone has a registered business if they accuse someone it gets yanked immidiately, and then it's up to the users to prove it's not infringement.
