This would seem to imply that the recent threats were real. Copyright would only cover the FB chat because, unlike everything else, that was private (so, strictly speaking, Ryan had no right to make it public). It's a good thing that about 500 people made copies and will re-up it on YT now.

"IF" JA actually had a conversation with Ryan, and the copies of the conversation on the phone where shown in the video (they were) such comments by JA could be construed as "copyrighted" material - i.e. the written word, copyrighted the first time it is published (i.e. when he posted it to his phone). It is a loophole JA presented to YT and they bit.

No copyright law applies. It's fair use . Also, YouTube doesn't have to respect "free speech" It's a private company, it can delete whatever it wants. And there is a long history of that repression of information. Since the info is repressed, you don't know what it is.
