Basically they go on reddit, and will browse subs like "instant regret" or "maybe maybe maybe" or "yes yes no". Basically just subs where people post videos of themselves, doing whatever. Essentially it's just Americas Funniest Home Videos, but with their commentary using reddit as the source of the videos.
So, I'm not sure anything is actually "copyrighted".
I doubt that would be the reason for their ban. If it is a creative work then in some countries it's automatically copyrighted, but it's not like most would go out of their way to stop it (unlike with like people reacting to other YouTube videos, films, anime, etc).
