"Ripped off a myriad of sources", implies that he didn't provide credits. There is an entire section devoted to the credits, which could have been formatted better, but they WERE there.
Furthermore, this is essentially a 6 and a half hour YouTube documentary.
Everyone uses other sources and images to illustrate their point because they're working with virtually no budget. They are working their arses off with a pile of research, their computer, and their video editing software.
There are worse films (*cough* Zeitgeist *cough*), that rip off images without credit, and the actual "factual" credits (some which aren't factual at all) are predominantly theosophists. Nobody bats an eyelid.
I've also seen this done in GOOD youtube documentaries, with varying degrees of crediting, depending on whether the footage falls under a general "fair use" notice at the start.
It would have stayed a 6 and a half hour YouTube documentary, if the people there (and on Facebook, and Video, etc.) hadn't shat themselves and banhammered it.
