"flimzee00" Youtube Account Permanently Suspended

[Badguy]

Just as the title says. Those ef'in bastards deleted my Youtube account because of 2 combo videos...

"This is to notify you that we have removed or disabled access to the following material as a result of a third-party notification by Sony Music Records Inc. claiming that this material is infringing:

Guilty Gear XX Accent Core - Endurance: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FDajfiJsV8U
and
Guilty Gear XX Accent Core - Youseika: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3fZ9vYjXjcw"

I think i might send an email fighting for the account back because what exactly is it infringing? They are combo videoes using music. (I think youseika had music from the Bleach opening) but people use music from anime openings all the time. ARGH!!! Im pissed as hell!!!

[Tae Seong Kim]

Yeah, I just noticed that! That sucks. These big corporations need to relax a bit. Right when I wanted to see some GG videos!

[Sunnyday]

OMG!!! you gotta be kidding me!

All 1300+ video's have gone down the drain??

Anyway. my friends on youtube comfort you.

[Nehle]

The problem is that you can't really fight it because, legally, you don't have a leg to stand on. You could ask YouTube why they didn't just remove the infringing videos instead of suspending your entire account though

[Sunnyday]

BTW. i wonder.

Did you put some disclaimer infomation on those video's?

also..

Well one of my friends on youtube told me a reason why the entire account got suppende..


the reason they suspended the account instead of just removing the videos is because youtube have so many videos to deal with that its simply easier to remove the user so no more future incidents can happen


Sounds cheap, isn't it? but i geuss that is what they do... :psyduck:

I geuss the next time around, we must use disclaimer infomation and copyright infomation in order to prevent such a thing from happing again :v:

But it is still a sad thing what happen, i hope you have maked some backup's :psyduck:

[Hideki]

What the shit?
Wait wait, all the videos are gone?

Fuck those damn bastards! Now I have a list full of links to Cm´s that have disapeared.
I´m really sorry about this, you do a nice job uploading all those vids... post something here if they give your account back (which I higly doubt). IoI

[Nehle]

Disclaimers and copyright information are unfortunately not a free pass to use and distribute copyrighted works however you feel like. At the end of the day, it's up to the copyright owner to decide what happens to the videos

Unfortunately, in this case the copyright owner was a greedy, petty bastard

[Tiamat]

sad news for the guilty gear community =[

send an email like Nehle said and maybe they will cut you some slack, cause this is pretty retarded

[SSMugen]

that sucks man because I watch your videos all the time too. They're damn good

[Nehle]

Sounds to me like somebody in the GG community squealed on him.

If they're so worried about video rights...they should post their own vids.

Please elaborate here, you mean to say that somebody didn't want their CM viewed so they ratted off to Sony and told them that such-and-such CM had copyrighted music in it? :psyduck:

[Hideki]

If so, what an asshole.

[Caer-caveral]

Why in the world would they care about this stuff? I'll never be able to understand how the music industry thinks.

Badguy, I feel for you. That was the most awesome account youtube had. It's outrageous that your work is going down the drain like that.

[Hideki]

I'll never be able to understand how the music industry thinks.


Like this:

[~Généràl~]

that really sux's

[AleXander]

This is exactly why i dont support the music industry at all. I stopped buying music when they deleted my aunts account when she posted a video of her 7 hear old daughter doing tumbles ,because there was a part of a prince song playing in the background.

[JerEzeSin]

!?!!?!?!

Just when I started to fall in love with youtube they do us harm?
I mean like at least 75% of youtubes content is Fanmade.
If they wanna act all pissy over music then they should start with the uploaded movies and other stuff. I know it's hard to look at all the content but there has been even more done up there than original stuff

[Nehle]

To be fair on Sony BMG, they probably didn't start this themselves because if that was the case they could find many, many more CMs to take down (They do have a 25% market share on music). Most likely it was either the actual artist who contacted them or someone who just squealed.

In either case, Sony BMG HAS to take action or it will render those copyrights more or less invalid. I actually blame youtube more, Sony only complained about two videos, after all

[Badguy]

well im goin to at least send an email seeing if they can remove ONLY the infringed stuff, and make them realize how appreciated the account was to see if i can get it back, but i also highly doubt it.

on the good side im done cleaning my room...
(after flipping tables and knocking sh!t over out of anger from this)

EDIT:

I JUST REALIZED NOT ONLY DID THEY DELETE MY FLIMZEE00 ACCOUNT BUT THEY DELETED ANY OTHER ACCOUNT UNDER MY EMAIL! NOW THIS IS ABSOLUTE BULLSH!T. :vbang:

*TERRORIZES ROOM AGAIN*

[ForestBlazer]

Why did they suspend the G3 account too... Wasn't that just Sauga match videos only??? I think these bastards are just trying to clear space on their servers; the copyright issue seems like a cheap excuse to do it.

Sorry Rae, I know how pissed you must be. Flimzee definitely had the best GGXXAC collection of vids :(

[Hatred Edge]

WTF?! You can't be serious?!!! That was one of my favorite accounts. It even had the GGXX strat guides!

This is a sad day indeed.

[Tsak]

youtube strikes again
i dunno
i always thought youtube wasn't so bad
i mean i can see anime anywhere really so them taking that down wasn't that big of a deal
but this?
this is madness!!

[burningvigor]

meh just make a new account and upload again.

[Teyah]

If the line of thinking is that people watching these kinds of videos do so for the music, I don't believe that. Most of the time I mute the volume when watching combo vids anyway.

Tough luck Rae, hopefully you can get this worked out.

[bungiefan]

WHy not post the videos on Nico Video?

[reaVer]

This is what you get for posting combo movies with j-pop in them, combo movies like those should always be ignored. Anyways, you probably got banned because you were popular and expensive to them. The same happened to Myke on VFDC who got his filefront account banned for putting beta vids from Virtua Fighter 5 on his account(he was in the top 8 mirror list in japan).

damnit i was hoping no one figured that out
too lazy to edit
im SERIOUS THOUGH
this is messed up
nothing to lol about

[040488]

Man, thats hardgay, your channel was increadable. Any chance of migration to another web-page? Tho it would obviously take months to get everything back up, there should be host that will host without questions or BS (does veoh work that way?)

[Badguy]

screw it! im going down like a spartan then. im going fight for my accounts back. i emailed them back! So far i received a confirmation messaging they received my argument...

"Thanks for contacting YouTube! You've reached the copyright and DMCA
compliance team. Your message has been received and is now queued for
review."

wish me luck...

[Shiro]

what the flying fuck? :(

[dice]

meh just make a new account and upload again.

Im sure you of all people realize how frustrating that shit is....

Youtube is evil, just because of some j-pop musice ....... :vbang: ....... Hopefully shit turns out for the better, at least get G3 account, that had nothing to do with it

[Zybonx]

Wow, how did they even find it.

[burningvigor]

Thats just an automated messege. You will receive a email stating they cant do shit because they dont care maybe 2-3 weeks later.

Man I be surprised if they even give a flying fuck. Mine was suspended over 1 clip of south park i forgot to delete. Mine I understand, but yours is prety gay. COmbo video music lol

[Greed]

Should try Veoh or something, they're a little laxer about copyright stuff >_<.
Where did you download the combo vids in the first place?

[Xploit Neo]

After all those videos you posted on their servers, and THIS is how they repay you, by totally suspending everything? Man, that is so wrong, on so many levels. I mean IT'S JUST A VIDEO WITH A J-POP SONG!!!!! They didn't have to do something so excessive, that's just corporate greed.

[rtl42]

a lot of them are japanese vids, you can see them linked at ggxx.jugem.jp .

Honestly, if you guys want a CM repository, I could ask Sir Plus if I can use StrokeTheBigTree.com and just put everything I have there (since I *do* have everything that Badguy/flimzee had, pretty much).

[AlterGenesis]

I actually emailed regarding the G3 account. I want that shit back. But then again, they probably won't care.

That would be appreciated, it would surely save us a lot of youtube gayness.

[C-DZ]

I'll have to admit, this is some lame shit. I pretty much just lost the majority of my account(as far as videos are concerned) due to this mishap. I truly hope everything works out for you Badguy. You had some good stuff on their.

The next week, I´ll go vid by vid, trying to find new links to the old videos.
If I miss some vid, I´ll post it somewhere asking for help. :psyduck:

[AtTheGates]

my tougeki DVD vids (exclusive) that i put on youtube got removed today, enterbrain inc. wanted youtube to take them down.
i still have them on my HDD. for those who missed them, they were tougeki quali matches and an exclusive ogawa vs. osaka B match.

[maverick]

Damn Youtube strikes again!!! I hope you get your account back.

That would be a great idea! rtl42 may I suggest something else, why not also upload filebank matches as well for those of us here at dustloop who get slow speeds/trouble getting it to work? Like maybe have the matches of up for a week(or whatever timeframe you prefer) and then delete them after that time? I personally don't have a problem with filebank but Im sure that others here do. This might be too much of a hassle for you so hey its cool if that doesn't go well.

[Ethereal S]

Geez, I noticed it today when filmzee00's subscription was gone. Anyway, thx for all your contribution bringing those hard-DLing vids to the light even though asshole YT didn't like it.

[Badguy]

just got a message from youtube. burninvig is right its hopeless...

"Federal law requires that we terminate accounts when they are found to repeatedly infringe copyright. Because you have had other videos and accounts rejected in the past, we are unable to reinstate any of your account. Users with suspended or terminated accounts are prohibited from creating new accounts or accessing YouTube’s community.


Sincerely,

Harry
The YouTube Team"

[Bridget Boy]

Joined this place because of this crap. I was really hoping they'd restore the account...

[Woocash]

Maybe try http://www.ning.com/ and make your own "social network". You could post vids there and only members would be able to watch them, and you would be the sites own admin, and you wouldn't have to worry about anyone removing your vids.

[RageBot]

nevermind, just wrote something stupid.

Youtube is just gay, I mean come on, rule infrigment?
Fuck that.

[Exigent]

Why not use veoh now, i'm 100% sure they don't have the bullshit rules like youtube does and it's generally better imo. I haven't looked through the whole thread so this might have been posted already :l.

[RageBot]

They already have all of the cutscenes from the MGS, I don't think they care that much.

[blitz]

This is messed up, if only because this particular type of copyright infringement is so fucking bullshit.

[Abominable K]

My EX combos, that Kotoba video that made me feel better whenever I was upset about repeatedly dropping combos... I'm gonna go cry in a corner now.

[Sunnyday]

You know what pissing me off the most:

The artist who writes the song, and sings them, is only getting like 30% of all the records that are sold. the other 70% goes to the record company. and giving the fact the artist needs to promote his/her career to world, the artist must perfrom concert after concert. leaving him/her with a silly 10-12% of the money he/she gain from all the records that are sold.

The record company's claim that banning accounts on youtube will help out the artist in the end, but the artist still gets the same amout of money wheter or not those accounts got banned or not.

And there is a other *Hic* in this story:

If a artist manages to sell like 2 millon copies in a short period of time, you guys might think he/she will get rich right.

Well. NO

Because once a artist manages to sell 2 millon copies, the IRS kicks in, and demands that the artist pays like a 55% tax over all the copies that where sold over that short period of time.

Alot of artists got broke because of this, this sudden unfairness that makes me realy wonder if the artist is better off without his/her record company :vbang:

The biggest probleem right now, is teh sheer fact that record company's have make those records way too expesvie for the kids on the block to buy it. alot of kids don't even bother to buy the real singel for like 5-7 dollars when they can download them on the internet for free. Last time i read that the sells for singels have done down the drain because everyone was downloading it.

But ask yourself this question: if there wasn't any downloading doing on, will the artist get better?

My answer is no, because the record company's still get like 70% of the sells make, the artist is still on his/her all time low. And there is something else those record company's forget:

Wherever they like it or not, Youtube did promote alot of artists, in ways that wheren't possiple, and i realy do believe that the artist got promoten way better over youtube than he/she got promoten by the record company.

I think that guys such as michiel jackson and jaymiriqe (i don't know how to spell his name) will have much better sells, if that promote thier stuff on youtube, instead of trusting sony records to do thier promotion.

So TBH, banning accounts is not gonna help the artist getting better. If the artist wants to get better, than the record company's must stop being greedy, and make those record bloody payable for everyone!!! because 5-7 for just only 3-4 songs is wayyyy too much!

Downloading and uploading will always happen, yes Mr record company's, i'm talking towards you guys. wellcome to 2008 guys, stop being greedy and adjust yourself.

Now going for some breakfast.

EDIT: there is also something i wanna add:

maybe your guys still remenber the copyright tread i posted right.About this big argement i had with a friend of mine, well he still will not agreed with what i think, but i realy just do not care about it. Because he was downloading stuff in the internet, so in fact :

He is just as *Evil* as i am uploading stuff on photobucket. He even admitted towards me about it:


Well. even when i know that copyright is a good thing. and if i was a artist i would not like it when poeple where downloading/uploading my stuff for free. But i have to admitt here that i'm just as wrong as you are, because i did have download a awful lot of japanese songs on the internet. But i kinda wish you didn't upload stuff on websites because i do care about you, and i feared you might end up in jail or something. I geuss i just shut up and let you be right?? :psyduck:

Copyright is a good thing.. But wat amaze me the most is the fact that the artist doesn't own that copyright, it is owned by the record company :psyduck: . So TBH, i think the record company's are simpley missing the point here when they say they do this for the artist.... :psyduck:

[C-DZ]

FUUUUUUUUUUUCK!! It took me forever to find some Chipp CMs, and now they're gone. Badguy made that so easy for to find those vids.

[A3Religion]

I am sad at the loss of one of the many stress relievers I had when I wanted to relax. The combo videos you uploaded did a lot more than entertain, it informed, and also made it a haven of relief for me. You have done a great service to the Guilty Gear Community. Please start again you have done more good in that infinitesimal act then you probably know. Don't be missed.

[rtl42]

That would be a great idea! rtl42 may I suggest something else, why not also upload filebank matches as well for those of us here at dustloop who get slow speeds/trouble getting it to work?

I would like those matches please if possible.
I've always re-uploaded matches on request, you guys just have to ask. However, if you're just interested in watching the matches on YouTube (and don't care about having them on your hard drive), you should bookmark/subscribe to this guy:
http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=bigooooooohh

He has lots of vids, and most are uploaded shortly after they're posted on the original hosting site.
... Admittedly, it's a bit of a dump, as most of the videos that are older than the last few TRF RanBats, and the G3 23on matches, are unlabelled... but still!

[blitz]

stuff

you know, it's funny, I was about to post a long paragraph on this same exact subject (look to where I posted earlier), but decided it wasn't the right place...

I guess it don't matter now! =D

The music industry shouldn't be surprised when their greedy profit margins spurred a movement to obsolete them. And like a spoiled child, they continue to try and re-establish complete control, not realizing how futile it is, and still ignorant of how their own actions are to blame for their losses.

[4r5]

NOOOOOOOO

my sig no longer works!

a great blow has been dealt to us this day

ok it's fixed now

[Spirit Juice]

I'm still in disbelief that an account was deleted because of a god damn combo video and its music. That's really, really sad.

I was reading their TOS... I don't think this will help the situation any, but you may want to look into it.

B. Counter-Notice. If you believe that your User Submission that was removed (or to which access was disabled) is not infringing, or that you have the authorization from the copyright owner, the copyright owner's agent, or pursuant to the law, to post and use the content in your User Submission, you may send a counter-notice containing the following information to the Copyright Agent:


Your physical or electronic signature;
Identification of the content that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location at which the content appeared before it was removed or disabled;
A statement that you have a good faith belief that the content was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or a misidentification of the content; and
Your name, address, telephone number, and e-mail address, a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court in San Francisco, California, and a statement that you will accept service of process from the person who provided notification of the alleged infringement.
If a counter-notice is received by the Copyright Agent, YouTube may send a copy of the counter-notice to the original complaining party informing that person that it may replace the removed content or cease disabling it in 10 business days. Unless the copyright owner files an action seeking a court order against the content provider, member or user, the removed content may be replaced, or access to it restored, in 10 to 14 business days or more after receipt of the counter-notice, at YouTube's sole discretion.

[Burningfist]

Okay, well that account took MANY hours of work I'm sure; I'm really sorry you have to deal with this crap. Looks like I'll be backing up my account asap. Sad to see probably the best overall YouTube Channel for fighting game videos go. :(

[purify]

Didn't this same thing happen to somebody a while back, burningvigor I think? I remember somebody saying in that thread "oh well, there's always flimzee" lol. thx youtube.

It was also brought up then that the main reason they'd do this is to get anal about reasons to free up their bandwidth/space by going after people with 1000+ videos that the general population doesn't care much about. The copyright thing is just an excuse.

edit: I imagine the same thing will happen to accounts like TheShend's, he has the most 3S videos on youtube from what I can tell.

[Badguy]

=( thanks for the sympathy guys. as stupid as it sounds i feel like there is a void in my heart =(

[rtl42]

btw, could you reupload the crimson combo movie to stroke the big tree? I've asked but saw no reply and only just now saw that TB requested it and did get a reply.
yeah sorry about that, i actually remember this particular request. probably the "latest unread posts" got messed up from hanging around in another thread for too long, so i missed yours, but then saw TB's request later on.

anyways i will upload it pronto.

If you search for "[GGXX #Reload] 01" and keep increasing the number up to 66, you'll be able to watch Nemo, Koichi and Ogawa play against Shonen and Ruu. Then again it's #R, how many people will actually still be interested to watch?

[040488]

all of those accounts are so big their damned near un-navigable, and they are all in japanese. Any hint as how to find things quicker? Also, would it be a good idea to have an account for every character as to avoid this fiasco again? US/English speaking communitty of course.

Awesome. Good to see you're getting back on track. Still waiting on those Chipp CMs though. jk.

Mr Badguy do you have your vids in another website?

[Climhazzardous]

Youtube is getting really stupid I must say. Well, my advice is to use this site: http://www.vsfighting.com/index.php

It's a youtube like site for fighting games. It's still in BETA stage, but it's kicked off very nicely with many vids already being uploaded.
