WEBVTT Kind: captions Language: en 00:00:00.300 --> 00:00:01.120 *War Music* 00:00:09.900 --> 00:00:14.100 'Pokimane, Alinity, and Ray William Johnson. 00:00:14.100 --> 00:00:15.940 What do all these people have in common? They are copystriking! That's right, 00:00:15.940 --> 00:00:17.580 all these people have history of copy striking videos. 00:00:17.580 --> 00:00:19.920 Now, there's nothing inherently wrong about copystriking okay? 00:00:19.920 --> 00:00:24.200 But I think the motivation behind these copyright strikes, is um... 00:00:24.200 --> 00:00:24.900 *stops war music* 00:00:24.900 --> 00:00:26.560 ...Worth mentioning at least. 00:00:26.560 --> 00:00:31.940 Recently, Jameskii made a video talking about how his channel face getting- almost shut down 00:00:32.060 --> 00:00:32.560 um, 00:00:32.560 --> 00:00:36.360 because he got a copyright strike over someone not liking what he said on a video. 00:00:36.360 --> 00:00:36.860 Now, 00:00:36.860 --> 00:00:42.980 I personally have a lot of experience with copyright and I think it's for the best interest of everyone on this site that 00:00:43.140 --> 00:00:43.640 um... 00:00:43.640 --> 00:00:47.200 ...We talked about this in today's video, and also so I can get more watchtime. 00:00:47.200 --> 00:00:48.060 So... 00:00:48.060 --> 00:00:48.960 ...do keep watching guys. 00:00:48.960 --> 00:00:50.000 *Equals Three sound effect* 00:00:50.000 --> 00:00:52.400 Our first Twitch thot is Ray William Johnson. 00:00:52.400 --> 00:00:53.440 Remember Ray? 00:00:53.440 --> 00:00:57.205 Ray William Johnson copyright strike a channel called “Hoover”. 00:00:57.205 --> 00:00:58.400 [HOOVER] Ray William Johnson 00:00:58.930 --> 00:01:02.340 himself, --(I'm pretty sure)-- took down the [bass] video. 00:01:02.340 --> 00:01:05.249 Now I have no idea why he did, but I checked the claim 00:01:05.250 --> 00:01:09.460 he claimed the entire video, the 12 minutes, the entire thing. 00:01:09.460 --> 00:01:10.720 So the outro was his, 00:01:10.800 --> 00:01:12.080 the original bits I put in was his, 00:01:12.560 --> 00:01:14.420 the parts where we just talked was his. 00:01:14.420 --> 00:01:16.160 Now, normally out of final appeal obviously 00:01:16.170 --> 00:01:21.420 But the thing is if he's taking on the whole video and then he this looks at the appeal and he fucking takes it down 00:01:21.570 --> 00:01:24.540 That's the copyright strike on my ass. There's no real good parts of this 00:01:24.540 --> 00:01:29.339 So the title of the video that was taken down by ray, william johnson was interestingly 00:01:29.979 --> 00:01:34.859 Ray william. Johnson thinks he can sing and it was basically a video mocking 00:01:35.380 --> 00:01:37.380 raveling johnson's old singing 00:01:37.659 --> 00:01:44.849 Career or his old music essentially and he begs the question would this video have been taken down if it was called? 00:01:45.159 --> 00:01:52.289 Raveling johnson sings like an angel ray. William. Johnson underrated musical genius. I don't think so 00:01:52.530 --> 00:01:55.019 Ok, now the video is back up again 00:01:55.020 --> 00:02:00.540 So I assume they resolved this but I think it's important to note that this didn't just get 00:02:00.640 --> 00:02:07.589 Resolved because ray william johnson thought to himself. Maybe I shouldn't have taken down that video. I'll remove the claim. No it got 00:02:08.200 --> 00:02:15.600 most likely thanks to a lot of youtubers raising their voice and helping this channel and a lot of public outrage on Twitter the 00:02:15.820 --> 00:02:19.169 Copyright claim got removed. I find this extremely hypocritical 00:02:19.900 --> 00:02:26.819 Coming from someone that even went to court to fight for fair use raywilliamjohnson who made a career? 00:02:27.550 --> 00:02:34.800 Essentially from other people's content reacting to it adding their own commentary to it. Just like Hoover did now to be fair 00:02:34.800 --> 00:02:42.119 I appreciate that. Raywilliamjohnson took down the claim. I also can't say for sure what the motivation behind the claim was originally 00:02:42.120 --> 00:02:45.390 I can't say for a fact that it was because people were ridiculing him 00:02:45.390 --> 00:02:50.460 I think what we'll find today here is a common theme people just didn't like what was in the video 00:02:51.040 --> 00:02:57.179 Therefore it was taken down. I already know example of illinit II, but I'll bring it up because I think is important nonetheless 00:02:57.790 --> 00:02:59.740 This is so annoying 00:02:59.740 --> 00:03:00.820 stupid 00:03:00.820 --> 00:03:08.159 Twitch thought uni, they win over me. Okay, and they're not gonna win over me stupid twitch thoughts. No 00:03:09.790 --> 00:03:11.819 Seriously he use that that 00:03:13.000 --> 00:03:15.000 I'm gonna copy strike this guy 00:03:15.250 --> 00:03:17.140 Just for that word 00:03:17.140 --> 00:03:19.140 gonna copy strike him 00:03:19.390 --> 00:03:26.520 Yo, so I didn't even call Alena D a twitch thought I just used a word basically that was enough for her to think 00:03:26.520 --> 00:03:32.939 Oh, I'm gonna claim the revenue out of that video and it I think this revealed the second problem with copyright strikes 00:03:32.980 --> 00:03:35.309 They sending me 700 dollars last month 00:03:35.890 --> 00:03:37.890 from copy strike hitting people 00:03:38.380 --> 00:03:41.639 Good money. So this reveal the second problem with copyright strike 00:03:41.640 --> 00:03:46.080 Which is the motivation for monetary games of striking other people's content 00:03:46.150 --> 00:03:46.720 basically 00:03:46.720 --> 00:03:50.790 If you claim a video you get all that revenue from that video 00:03:50.950 --> 00:03:56.069 So illinit e here try to use the motivation of he used two bad word against me 00:03:56.070 --> 00:04:03.899 So therefore I all that revenue in that video, that's mine now. Thank you very much. My revenue. Oh, I was in that person's video 00:04:05.650 --> 00:04:11.310 Yes, I mean it's basically theft and there's so many companies that partner up with streamers 00:04:11.920 --> 00:04:19.649 Specifically just so they can claim reuploaded content on YouTube which in a way I can understand but I also find it extremely ironic 00:04:19.900 --> 00:04:26.760 Because usually streamers commentary is just them sitting there. They're not adding any thing to it 00:04:26.760 --> 00:04:32.610 I don't even know why people bother reuploading these at least youtubers can argue that their work is transformative 00:04:33.160 --> 00:04:37.439 Understand each other the world will be a better place. That's right. That's all I care about 00:04:37.950 --> 00:04:41.309 I just want people to be happy trust me. That's my number one priority 00:04:41.860 --> 00:04:47.189 Smash like on this video. Sorry, we'll get that abuse. That would help me out a lot. Thank you very much for watching 00:04:47.410 --> 00:04:49.410 Make sure to hit sponsor it 00:04:50.350 --> 00:04:53.279 so become a sponsor so you can see that and 00:04:54.130 --> 00:04:58.140 That's it for me for now. Thank you guys so much for watching. I'll see you guys - 00:05:05.800 --> 00:05:08.190 Okay, hey Shrout hit subscribe 00:05:08.800 --> 00:05:15.180 Goddammit, what are you doing? I'm not here to call shout out. Okay on anything else but him subscribing third example 00:05:16.060 --> 00:05:17.500 Exhibit C 00:05:17.500 --> 00:05:18.970 Veronica Wang 00:05:18.970 --> 00:05:21.510 Disappointing. I thought I gave her the benefit of the doubt 00:05:21.510 --> 00:05:26.399 But basically she striked a channel to the point that it almost got deleted 00:05:26.400 --> 00:05:31.620 Why why because she didn't like what that channels content was about her 00:05:31.620 --> 00:05:35.669 she didn't like how the video was making fun of her and she didn't like how people 00:05:35.950 --> 00:05:40.049 Watching the video making fun of her was making even more fun of her essentially 00:05:40.050 --> 00:05:44.340 I'm a representation to my subscribers and I want to show them that it's okay to stand up for yourself 00:05:44.830 --> 00:05:47.669 So I made a video of me making fun of myself 00:05:48.669 --> 00:05:55.889 Literally a video of me making fun of myself to show people, you know, if anyone's gonna be allowed to make fun of me 00:05:55.890 --> 00:05:56.700 It's gonna be me 00:05:56.700 --> 00:05:59.249 So this reveals another big problem in my opinion 00:05:59.250 --> 00:06:02.820 Which is fairly similar to the pokey - situation Exhibit D 00:06:03.250 --> 00:06:08.820 Pokey main she strike this video called keemstar versus Pokemon Twitter fight bullying Sniper Wolf fanboy 00:06:08.820 --> 00:06:12.959 Now I know about this video because it was pushed everywhere by YouTube 00:06:12.960 --> 00:06:18.660 It was basically a Twitter feud between keemstar and pokey mind. They uploaded videos to each other 00:06:18.660 --> 00:06:23.219 I don't know cuz King sir is illiterate. And for some reason Pokemon decided. Yeah, I'll make a video as well 00:06:23.220 --> 00:06:28.380 None that nevertheless someone decided to put these two videos in together and upload it on YouTube 00:06:28.390 --> 00:06:33.839 Then the YouTube algorithm thought oh, this is an interesting video that people want to watch and pushed it everywhere 00:06:33.910 --> 00:06:40.279 So basically this Twitter drama became even bigger drama. Thanks. YouTube's algorithm 00:06:40.279 --> 00:06:44.689 so in a way, I can understand why you want to take down this video because this 00:06:45.509 --> 00:06:49.818 Selected thing blows up and becomes even bigger. Thanks to YouTube system being 00:06:50.340 --> 00:06:57.529 kind of stupid at least I can somewhat understand the motivation of trying to take down that video but the problem here and 00:06:57.810 --> 00:07:04.549 The same problem that goes with every single example that I brought up in this video is that you're just drawing more attention to it 00:07:04.729 --> 00:07:10.788 It's the Streisand effect every single time the more you try and hide something the more people are gonna find out about it 00:07:10.979 --> 00:07:15.619 That's what brought all these examples to lie. And I think what bothers me 00:07:16.499 --> 00:07:19.579 most of all out of all of these is the hypocrisy 00:07:20.310 --> 00:07:24.289 You know ray william johnson went to court for fair use 00:07:24.749 --> 00:07:28.669 But strikes another channels content for uploading his okay 00:07:28.669 --> 00:07:34.878 All these people that I brought up today have examples of using other people's content for their own content 00:07:34.879 --> 00:07:41.179 They could all get copyright striked just the same way. They copyright strike other people or claim their videos 00:07:41.180 --> 00:07:43.279 I don't know exactly what the percentage is 00:07:43.279 --> 00:07:48.648 But I would say 90% of content on the internet or at least on YouTube in twitch 00:07:48.899 --> 00:07:51.709 Isn't hundred percent original content. It's 00:07:52.289 --> 00:07:59.628 Its commentary its reactions its reviews its gameplay. I mean people tell me all the time. Oh just make original content 00:07:59.629 --> 00:08:06.889 Well, guess what? Every single gaming channel is not original content. They're reacting to someone else's video game. It's someone else's content 00:08:06.990 --> 00:08:08.810 They don't own the rights to it 00:08:08.810 --> 00:08:16.009 Just the same way with any other reaction, but it's fair use because it's transformative work because you're adding your commentary to it 00:08:16.050 --> 00:08:21.800 remember when Sean vanaman decided to give me a DMCA takedown a copyright strike because 00:08:22.080 --> 00:08:26.210 He didn't like what I said in a live stream that had nothing to do with his game 00:08:26.399 --> 00:08:30.949 Despite the fact that they give public permission on their website. You're free to use our game 00:08:30.949 --> 00:08:34.158 So basically they can revoke that at any given time 00:08:34.159 --> 00:08:37.068 If anyone if you have permission to use someone's content 00:08:37.069 --> 00:08:41.779 They can still give you a copyright strike because basically YouTube doesn't pay attention to any of that 00:08:41.779 --> 00:08:47.448 I feel pretty confident that if I took Sean venneman to court or his company to fight this claim 00:08:47.449 --> 00:08:52.619 Which is basically what a DM Said's that would in entitles if I fight against it 00:08:52.620 --> 00:08:58.169 But I feel confident that I would win that and wasting him and his company time and money 00:08:58.210 --> 00:09:01.500 Well my time as well, obviously it's not cheap either 00:09:01.500 --> 00:09:07.349 I mean h3h3 went to court any constant one hundreds of thousands of dollars fifty thousand dollars 00:09:07.350 --> 00:09:10.439 I think they hailed up a check for but the problem here is a YouTube's way 00:09:10.440 --> 00:09:17.430 So insanely heavily towards the one making the claim the way the system works and I'll explain this for the hundredth time 00:09:17.430 --> 00:09:18.840 I'm sorry for all this doing it 00:09:18.840 --> 00:09:23.519 You can either get a claim or a copyright strike if the video gets claimed the video saves up 00:09:23.520 --> 00:09:27.960 But they take all the revenue if you get a copyright strike the video goes down 00:09:27.960 --> 00:09:33.060 but they still take all the revenue if a video gets claimed you as a creator have the choice to 00:09:33.430 --> 00:09:41.399 Dispute that claim in saying no you're wrong for doing this claim and it's basically solely up to the one making the claim to say 00:09:41.920 --> 00:09:46.740 Actually, no. I'm right so you're not just getting money, but you also dictate whether you're right or wrong 00:09:46.990 --> 00:09:49.019 The system is so messed up 00:09:49.020 --> 00:09:55.139 And if you say no twice to the clay to the claim, it automatically goes to a copyright strike 00:09:55.180 --> 00:10:01.859 So basically as a creator if you get a claim, you're you're pretty screwed, but if you're the one making the claim 00:10:01.860 --> 00:10:06.629 There's basically no repre conscience. I mean you could claim whatever you want. YouTube isn't gonna go 00:10:06.630 --> 00:10:10.530 Hey stop doing that and as a creator, you just risk your channel getting shut down 00:10:10.530 --> 00:10:17.430 I mean that's what happened to James key now because of him getting a copyright strike if you get a copyright claim and you say 00:10:17.740 --> 00:10:24.180 Okay, we'll take this to court then. That's the only way we can settle this the history of this happening which is two examples 00:10:24.700 --> 00:10:26.700 h3 h3 and raywilliamjohnson 00:10:26.830 --> 00:10:33.569 And they both argue that their content was transformative and fair and it applies under fair use and guess what they want 00:10:33.730 --> 00:10:37.110 making commentary on own videos and adding your 00:10:38.290 --> 00:10:43.619 Reactions and all that - it does apply under fair use at least from what we've seen so far 00:10:43.960 --> 00:10:47.730 so if you copyright strike a channel or even claim a channel you 00:10:48.250 --> 00:10:52.650 Run the risk of actually going to court and losing a lot of money 00:10:52.650 --> 00:10:55.829 So it's generally a terrible idea to abuse this system 00:10:55.830 --> 00:11:01.570 which so many people seem to do without even thinking about the wreck questions because YouTube doesn't really 00:11:01.820 --> 00:11:03.909 apply it instantly it is a 00:11:04.460 --> 00:11:07.630 Terrible idea to do this. Not just for monetary 00:11:08.690 --> 00:11:15.909 Purposes but also because everyone will hate you. I mean the only thing really holding the YouTube system together at this point 00:11:15.980 --> 00:11:21.909 It's the public outcry or the public outrage towards people that abuse the system and if that wasn't the case 00:11:21.910 --> 00:11:27.490 I mean the whole thing would just go rampant. You also just draw more attention to what you're trying to hide 00:11:27.590 --> 00:11:32.530 So just stop can you just stop abuse and copyright? It's not that hard 00:11:32.530 --> 00:11:38.140 Just don't take down videos, even if it shows you in a negative way. It's a terrible idea 00:11:38.870 --> 00:11:40.750 Stop doing it 00:11:40.750 --> 00:11:46.359 Stop taking down videos YouTube needs to add a takedown request 00:11:46.730 --> 00:11:52.539 The only way to take down a video right now is through a copyright strike a takedown request. Let's just say 00:11:53.090 --> 00:11:59.500 okay, you give the user two to three days to take down the video and then if they say no at that period then it 00:11:59.500 --> 00:12:01.010 Goes to a copyright strike 00:12:01.010 --> 00:12:05.080 The way it works right now is the only way to take down a video is through a copyright strike 00:12:05.150 --> 00:12:08.769 I think having a takedown request would solve a lot of problems 00:12:08.770 --> 00:12:14.650 I mean, there's been times where me myself had to do a copyright strike because there was a video 00:12:14.650 --> 00:12:21.370 I just wanted to be shown for a specific time and I asked people please don't really this video because they only wait for me 00:12:21.370 --> 00:12:23.919 To take it down is to give it a copyright strike and people did it 00:12:23.920 --> 00:12:27.310 Anyway, people still real go to the video and I was like, alright 00:12:27.310 --> 00:12:30.760 Well, I have to give you a copyright strike now like I didn't want to do this 00:12:30.760 --> 00:12:33.339 But YouTube has no other way to take down a video 00:12:33.620 --> 00:12:40.719 So a takedown request at least would be some fair warning in between at least now my final point. I'm sorry 00:12:40.720 --> 00:12:41.780 It's been super long 00:12:41.780 --> 00:12:47.230 My final point is a few years back Nintendo announced that 00:12:47.690 --> 00:12:50.889 basically to upload Nintendo games on YouTube 00:12:50.890 --> 00:12:52.890 You need to be part of their partnership 00:12:53.240 --> 00:12:58.299 Program me personally and a lot of other people criticized this idea because it's just a bad idea 00:12:58.300 --> 00:13:00.969 You're just gonna miss out on a lot of free marketing 00:13:00.970 --> 00:13:08.860 which is basically what this is people playing games and lo and behold now they announced they're shutting the program down the way the 00:13:09.080 --> 00:13:16.469 Ecosystem YouTube works or on the Internet in general is that most people benefit from sharing these different things? 00:13:16.680 --> 00:13:22.469 Game developers know that it's free marketing for people to play their games. They even pay youtubers to play their game 00:13:22.470 --> 00:13:27.660 They even pay to make it seem like it. There are youtubers playing their game even though they're just actors 00:13:27.960 --> 00:13:33.450 That's how effective this whole sharing thing works the ecosystem works people 00:13:34.090 --> 00:13:37.560 Watching and reacting to other people's videos that helps that creator 00:13:37.560 --> 00:13:42.839 They receive some of sharing content is something that everyone benefits from not just for promotion 00:13:42.840 --> 00:13:49.649 But also it makes everything so much more fun in my opinion. It's what makes memes fun and all these different references and whatever 00:13:49.720 --> 00:13:54.990 It's already so bad with people abusing copyright strikes.
