Once again,Youtube is shitting on itself,but this time it's way worse than it was ever before

 

 

Youtube is currently striking every channel on youtube(especially gaming videos),including Machinima,Pewdiepie,Smosh....everyone basically,with random copyright strikes using either the names of the publishing companies(who has nothing to do with this and they've denied any involvement) or using the name of a random ass studio or company like IDOL,BAFTA,Collective....etc

 

The copyright strikes isn't targeted towards a certain brand,but everything from Call of Duty.,GTA V,Kingdom Hearts,Battlefield,Batman Arkham City and even old videos before 2008 is getting claimed.

 

 

Mind you this isn't the publishers fault as most companies Sony,Microsoft,Nintendo,Capcom,Square Enix Konami......etc themselves are surprised as all of them denied any involvement and they're currently discussing it with Youtube's management

 

This copyright strikes is a part of the new system that Youtube is going to implement in January 2014 which automatically and randomly check a couple of videos that you've uploaded and check if they're legit or not....the checking process can take from hours to days before they allow your video to be uploaded

 

If they found music or certain things in your videos....you'll get copyright strikes

 

This is affecting both partnered and non-partnered channel as even fanarts from a girl who draws Dragon Ball Z characters without showing anything from the anime or DBZ games...but she got copyright strikes anyway

 

Even THQ games will get you copyright strikes even though THQ doesn't exist anymore as they went out of business last year.

 

Even people who got official permission from the publishers themselves to show their content and they're being payed by said publisher like Black Nerd Comedy,got striked with copyright claims.

 

 

Keep in mind though that the publishers themselves are not doing this by themselves,it's Youtube doing a beta test on people for their new policies that they're gonna implement next month

 

 

This is a disaster that could spell not only the end of gaming on Youtube,but the end of videos on Youtube in general

 

This will cause people to migrate into other places like Blip TV,Twitch....etc for watching and producing content,and there is no guarantee that Blip TV or Twitch won't follow the same policies as Youtube

 

 

Spread the word everywhere you can on Facebook,Twitter....etc.But keep in mind that this isn't game developerspublishers doing this.It's just Youtube ruining everything for both sides and we have to stop this before Youtube manages to bullshit their way around and convince the publishers about this

 

 

If you care about anything you watch on youtube,whether it's gaming commentaries,movie commentaries,anime commentaries....etc,then spread the word

 

This isn't just limited to gaming,as it also has affected even movie commentators not just LPers

And there goes PewDiePie`s career.

I would say good riddance... but if he's going to go through the same thing as us with Youtube then I won't make it worse. 

 

You can't possibly be serious.

Ignorance is bliss, Rox.

And here I was planning to start making my own video game countdowns. Anyone know of any good clean sites where I can easily stream videos like on YouTube?

Vimeo is the #2 video streaming website.

What the H*ll is going on with youtube

What the H*ll is going on with youtube

I read from Polygon that Youtube/Google is trying to save their butts from future lawsuits, should the companies decide to sue Youtube for displaying their content. But the companies have been letting it slide, and everyone should be under protection of Fair Use, therefore, what Youtube is doing, is possibly unconstitutional.

I think you're missing the point that the real problem is not re-uploading KH13's cutscenes on somewhere else if something happens.

The real problem is that this is going to affect the rest of Youtube people, famous or not, who make quality and special videos, that are not just some simple cutscenes. Those who make quality videos are risking not to be able to monetize them anymore, and if a partner has no monetization enabled then it's a serious thing.

I myself wouldn't spend my days wasting my time making un-monetizable videos, if I knew that I could just spend my time for better purposes like studying. Sure, I used to do that when I was 15 just for fun, but now that I am 22 and money has become a priority for my daily needs, as a Youtube partner I feel the need to get payed in order to keep going.

 

Not gonna sound selfish, but 90% of Youtube partners make quality videos because they know they're going to get some decent reward off it. And with quality videos I don't mean a simple playlist of Kingdom Hearts cutscenes.

Agree with you, bro. 

Personally I don't make videos or anything, but I know a lot of people will suffer because of these changes. It's a lot bigger than taking away a few cutscenes that KH13 uploaded, it will have direct effects on some people's lives, but the problem is that people nowadays don't worry about anything else besides themselves, and that's why the world is getting worse and worse..

R.I.P Youtube.

Ah well time to go kill the copyright thing,Nya!

Angry Joe sums it up pretty well. I actually feel pretty bad for him, 62 of his most successful videos have been flagged. If this bullcrap keeps up, youtubers like him won't be able to keep doing what they're doing, or at least make a living off of it. 

 

This happened earlier to the Cynical Brit

Whether you love Pewdiepie or hate him, the fact that he's the number one most subscribed channel on youtube says something very important. Gaming is one of the most popular, if not the most popular genre on youtube. In fact, it's almost certainly the top user created genre on youtube (meaning that the content on the channel is created entirely by the person/people who own the channel). 

 

If youtube keeps up this horseshit, gamers will eventually exodus to other websites to get their content. There are already plenty of alternatives.
