The guys "getting all the views" are not the people who uploaded pirated content, it's the people who created the shows. If they were not already well known segments, then the clips wouldnt be getting the exposure. Half the time they're ripped and uploaded *because* they're well known and have fans. It really does nothing for the person who uploaded the clip, unless they created the content.

The original Obama girl video featured many copyrighted pictures of Obama, including one of him in a bathing suit that is owned by Fame Pictures. They also included footage of his 2004 speech, and some of those shots are copyrighted. The filmmakers who shot Obama girl videos have made a collection of many more videos, using lots of copyrighted news footage, images, and soundbites. So while the overall idea might bave been original, it is low budget and utilizes lots of copyrighted material.
But none of that matters of course, because the major news media gives them positive coverage on their networks, thus making them even more popular.
