Rocket Languages have put forth the following response and I see no need to have my
original post show what it originally showed:

Hi there,

Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

Rocket Languages would not, and does not, steal videos from other You Tube users -
apologies for any confusion around this. The video channel you reference is a third
party affiliate who we will follow up with now this has been brought to our attention

We have one official channel - http://www.youtube.com/user/RocketLanguages?blend=7&ob=5

If any of you would like to try any of our products then I will happily provide you
with review access

She might be funny (excuse my French), but is she pretty?

Hahaha, pretty was being used as an adverb. It means very, but a bit less than very.

Amusing video, but for all the wrong reasons. I mean, am, do people, like, really, like, am, speak like that all the time?!

And if you can show that they do that, I'm sure Youtube would take down their videos immediately.

I've noticed over the past few months that Rocket Languages actively steal videos ...

To me it looks more like some of kind viral ad campaign and/or a lame SEO attempt. The user ClorisCalhouncjq seems to have uploaded the same video 96 times with different subjects to ensure that many people see the Rocket Languages link when they search for language lessons.
