Plagarised thumbnail?

[gjsman]

I'm not sure if this should go into Off-Topic, but I searched for Intel on YouTube and this was... interesting.

 

Kind of an uncanny resemblance, if you ask me.

It's all just clickbait...

It's a pretty standard YouTube clickbait thumbnail. Pull a stupid face next to product image. It's not one copying the other. It's just the way YouTubers make their thumbnails look these days.

Yes, it is a common clickbait image, but it just seems like plagiarism because:

- if you look closely because the image of the i7 is exactly the same in detail, perspective, and size

- the face is as identical in reaction as possible

- fire in background

 

I guess it is a pretty small thing though.

Welcome to the industry of clickbait thumbnails... and clickbait in general. It's a wasteland of no originality.

This is just copying the idea, not copyright infringement.

I would handsome a guess that took a graphic designer about 10, maybe 15, minutes to make. I wouldn't be too bothered about it. As others said, it's how all the trendy YouTubers make thumbnails anyway.

I wouldn't call that plagiarism. Its not same image and differences are very notable. Unless its exactly same image, or if style is copyrighted (read up on Apple trying to copyright apple the fruit and Apple&Samsung battling over round corners), its really nothing. People just lacking original ideas and copying each other. Linus wasn't the first to make shitty thumbnails. Nor bad titles. Nor review videos or anything like that.
