The Verge Copyright Strike Debacle - Don't Drink a Cup of Stupidity

2019-02-17
but right here I'm drinking a cup of stupidity and beside it is a another cup of stupidity and I'm sorry guys if you don't know what I'm talking about I'm kind of referring to the Virgin Box medius reason DoubleDown of them copyright striking to youtubers in particular so what exactly happened with the verge and why are they copying so much backlash and why is it exponentially worse this time around well has to do with a few things and as you guys may have seen in the intro I did apologize because I thought I made a mistake and in the Verge's case I think they just don't know how to apologize and fix their mistakes and this time around they clearly didn't learn their lesson from the first PC build video which was so misleading that it had the potential to hurt others the second time around it again has the potential to hurt others those being rich from review tech USA and Carl from bit wit in the form of their careers and if they copped two more of these bogus claims within three months their careers could have been finished but oh guys just like the first video I could take today I'm going to be going over this article and critiquing it for all the misinformation it has and also we're going to be taking a look at YouTube's copyright system and why it's currently broken and what YouTube could do to fix it let's go through this article that nil a who I believe is in charge of the verge wrote in response in light of the copyright strikes on these two particular channels and they first of all said that they pulled the copyright strikes and I believe they have retraced them but they said that YouTube agreed with them that it was crossing the line of fair use and in fact when we go over to Carl's Twitter he actually posted the first few lines of what YouTube sent to the Vox Media Group and that was that they were concerned that these were false copyright strike claims and that they weren't going anywhere near fair use so in other words what Carl's saying on Twitter completely contradicts what Nili is saying in his article that's the first contradiction the next one is the ninety percent they he says that these videos were using over 90 percent of the content that they created in the original PC build video 90 percent I mean that's pretty like Wow okay if you were users you're just straight copy pasting naipes and in that video I would agree with you nilly and so I quickly got a hold of Carl's video and scan through it and he was talking for about 50% of the video which is well under the 90% that you were claiming and same with rich when I scan through his video it was well under 90% so I don't know where you pulled this fact from and if you're gonna make claims like this at least please do your research then the next thing he goes through this article and says it's pretty racist and gives no context whatsoever I am not sure which video you're referring to review check USA's or Carl's because I watched both of them I thought there was absolutely no shred of racism in there whatsoever and the fact of Kyle I believe his Lyle character is based off of his grandfather who is his family member and I'm not sure how you can be racist against your own family but the next thing going through this article there's these two snippets where Neil a kind of pretends that he's gonna be the hero he's saving the day here because his legal team decided to do something and he's going to do the right thing and live and to all the criticism is copying and retraced the copyright strikes and I mean good job I mean you are the superhero here in LA we should put you in a Superman costume and call you super nilly but actually this would be okay I mean I think you would be a superhero if your article just wasn't full of bogus facts again the 90 percent and the pretty racist comments I just think they have no ground in context whatsoever pertaining to the issue that you're talking about but then going through the rest of this article they're saying that they're copying a heap of criticism a heap of backlash hyper hatred and they even copying death threats like okay this is getting pretty serious now like sure no one likes to get death threats sent to them but this is the example it's it's literally referring to your actual business and good luck staying alive and they're not even referring to any particular person they're clearly referring to your business and the Internet is not going to forget and what they mean by that is all the dodgy stuff you've pulled people will not want to watch your content anymore and so your views and your subscribers will go down which is exactly what is happening anyway with that article aside I just really don't get it what is going on at the verge you guys messed up with the PC build video and you then play the deflection card and at least you pulled the video down but you could have in hindsight just said sorry guys we made a mistake a big mistake and you could have got anyone in from the tech community to help you build a PC properly and then it would have all been done and dusted and in fact you could have rebuilt your credibility that quickly because sure it looks like your channel is not an enthusiast tech orientated channel the fact that you sort of deflected it and now you're doubling down on ignorant and then copyright striking two channels and essentially copyright striking and trying to affect their careers on bogus claims is disgusting and unfortunately you guys deserve all the critique and all the hatred coming your way because you just didn't learn when you make a mistake you just apologized for it and even make a follow up rectifying the situation and the internet usually forget about it and moves on but you didn't you played the ignorant sand deflection card and now you're playing the ignorance and deflection card again and because you didn't learn your lesson the first time it now makes it exponentially worse as I said in the intro but furthermore what makes it even worse this time around is that what you're accusing Kyle and rich of is exactly what your channel is built around you grab other people's content and critique it and comment on it so why for the love of God would you even enact this copyright strike to begin with and honestly I just don't get what your train of thought is over at the verge and Vox Media it just has no rationale it lacks so much logic and it's full of ignorance and deflection and when you're on the internet whether you like it or not you are always going to be critiqued no matter what you do so the verge good luck weathering through this storm but oh guys the second part of this video we're actually going to talk about the YouTube copyright system and what has gone on in the last few years and what YouTube's intentions were with it and why it's kind of broken now in the sense that things like this can happen where Carl and rich get striked for not doing anything wrong and essentially YouTube's allowed smaller creators the ability to copyright strike other people who are just straight ripping their content and then making money off it and because smaller content creators don't have the legal resources they don't have the utilities available this system was a double-edged sword and that you're seeing the opposite effect of it happening now where you're getting bogus claims and people who don't own the copyright material actually striking others and so I'll give you guys an example in my case I recently uploaded a video as a showcase of the Jules Eon bill we did Darth Jar Jar and I used free-to-play music in this it was royalty free however someone else had used that royalty free music before me a snippet of it in one of their videos and then they were claiming the ads in that Darth Jar Jar video and when I researched it more I said this is a bogus claim and so I'm disputing it at the moment but it still doesn't help the fact that this video has now bindi ranked because of that so this is my own example of how people are abusing the copyright system and in the case of it's not just striking other channels it's also claiming other people's ad money and I believe some channels may be making a living off this at the moment and it's such a filthy and scummy living and I just don't know how you could do that as an individual so what can you tube do about this system well I think if the whole video has just a straight copy-paste of that video then they should allow other channels to copyright strike other channels but in the case of YouTube and the system that's in place now it's just not working in that other channels can say hey there's a snippet of our material in here let's copyright strike this and we've seen keemstar from dramaalert report on this issue a lot because it seems to be getting abused a lot lately and we've even seen other YouTube channels actually get their channels deleted because of this but on the other flip side there is channels that have been deleted as well because they've been putting in false accusations and now whether YouTube is gonna punish Vox media or The Verge for their bogus claims is yet to be seen but it is really worrisome that people's livelihoods and their jobs and their careers in the case of rich and also Kyle can be in jeopardy because of these bogus claims but no guys let us know in the comment section below what you think can be done and how YouTube I guess could get some feedback on how to improve their system I feel like it's just broken at the moment that YouTube's intentions I guess would not to have it happen this way they'll sort of giving the smaller creator a chance to defend themselves but this ended up happening and people are abusing this system as it stands love reading your thoughts and opinions so let us know in the comment section below and maybe YouTube can get some ideas out of this as well but it goes if you enjoyed this video then be sure to hit that like button and if you haven't already be sure to sub with that Belon because if you didn't see in the intro in the background there was an aunt act case that's over 11 years old and we're
