4.) Of course the copyright issues are legitimate. Just talking over something someone else made doesn't make it yours. The creators are well within their right to remove any abridged series from the internet that infringes on their ownership of the material.
However, they would have to be pants on head retarded to do so. No one would care about Yugioh if the Abridged Series didn't exist.

There is essentially no reason for companies to take action against the creators of abridged series'.
