What are the copyright implications of this work?

Is it legal to distribute the stitched together frames without audio?

Do you think this project is going to get DMCAd off the internet?

Not sure about DMCA, but it's technically a derivative work, making it subject to copyright restrictions.

It's a derivative work.

Is it legal, as a transformative use? Probably not. Andy Warhol's estate just lost a fair use case in the U.S. Supreme Court.

Pretty cool concept! I feel like it would have made more sense to get multiple samples of each frame, and let all the users upvote/downvote frame versions to arrive at the best ones.
