The narration does well at

The narration does well at providing information. The editing of visuals also keeps things moving. I still wonder a bit about the early segments. Adding the bits of variety helps, but I feel like they could use some polish or maybe be rethought a bit. The later informational segments are working well. I wonder a bit about breaking up the youtube cover song with some other materials. I still feel like the transition to the discussion of fair use might be a bit more clear. Again, the information is strong. I wonder about adding some more concrete transitions between the main segments. I like the edits that have trimmed down the later segments. I wonder if the RIP materials might be introduced or cited. I feel like the piece ends abruptly. Bringing the narration back would probably be good to wrap things up. This was full of lots of good details. Nice work.
