“…For the research corpus construction, a preliminary evaluation of fanvideos on YouTube was undertaken, leading to the identification of material produced based on three exemplary popular culture franchises: Game of Thrones, Harry Potter, and Star Wars.

“…[36,62,63]). It is noteworthy that even after the (admittedly slow) change of mindset regarding how to deal with game mods from being against them to openly encouraging and even facilitating them, discussions about copyright conflicts still seem to be a timely issue [32,60].
