I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one who has had that experience with that specific channel.

I've been geeking out on IP law for a while now and I remember watching a LegalEagle video on how Disney might lose the rights to Spiderman or something like that.

And in that video, he confused/conflated the Copyright Act of 1976 with the Copyright Term Extension act which was passed in 1998. (He said that the 1976 one was the "life's work" of Sonny Bono. The one that was the "life's work" of Sonny was the 1998 act.) And I can't say I'm that much of an expert on any branch of law, but I knew off the top of my head that that was wrong (and did a bunch of searching right after to make sure I wasn't the one who was confused.)

So, yeah, it seems like the accuracy of the content on his channel is quite suspect.
