Isn't that exactly what they want? Why not link to the original, giving that extra views, and put the link to the tcopy in a spoiler so the author can use it to report the copycat? Good thinking, supported! Quote
SNIPE Posted August 1, 2017 Posted August 1, 2017 (edited) Another thief spotted. All of his videos are stolen from Australian Lego fan channel link: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdWTuOYAjLECawBgl5WbBXQ Yeah.. I'm getting real sick of that, I've NOW had to f**k on making a reply here from what I was doing because of this idiot thief. edit: I finally worked out how to add spoiler tags but just posted the channel link. I have not reported it in case people want to check it. I'm done here. Edited August 1, 2017 by SNIPE Quote

Community subtitles is something the original content creator can turn enable at their discretion. It seems rather odd that there are so many reuploading channels on Youtube given how easily they are shut down and thus the effort is wasted for the reuploaders. Quote
Didumos69 Posted October 25, 2017 Posted October 25, 2017 Someone took photo instructions of one of my mocs from rebrickable and made a video of them without any reference. Is this legal? Quote
aminnich Posted October 25, 2017 Posted October 25, 2017 (edited) If you have the copyright of the instructions, they can not reproduce the instructions without your consent. I would flag the video and contact YouTube EDIT: although it looks like they are free on rebrickable, so what does it matter? Edited October 25, 2017 by aminnich Quote

Aventador2004 Posted October 25, 2017 Posted October 25, 2017 It is probably a kid with nothing to do... Quote
agrof Posted October 25, 2017 Posted October 25, 2017 Legal? Might be. Ethical? For sure not. Unfortunately those two don't walk hand in hand, and many people don't even understand the difference due to lack of social / educational background. You can for sure comment / kindly ask him to add notes and credits to all of the builders - as he did for many of his videos but not for all. Quote
SNIPE Posted January 1, 2018 Posted January 1, 2018 Another theif spotted stealing several users videos: He has stole content from brick builder, austrian lego fan, sariel, etc Funny how Ive spotted 3 theifs yet youtubes stupid bots can't spot ANYTHING and they think that's a superiour strategy. I know we should not have to mass report videos before youtube gives a crap but it's all we can do.. So please report this channel and in the meantime, happy building!. Quote

I doubt that'll do anything either YouTube is way behind on any sort of theft prevention unless the material is owned by a giant corporation. Quote
SNIPE Posted January 2, 2018 Posted January 2, 2018 (edited) Another three copycats found when I was trying to find new 2018 lego technic videos: I'm closing my accounts if youtube dont start using real moderation. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQ1v2xW38yl72yaPdYm9EhA https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCyXhuuFluNTmJBV5tNoYX5Q https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCYim-1RCIxx1uflq1PKYHhw Edited January 2, 2018 by SNIPE Quote
kbalage Posted January 12, 2018 Posted January 12, 2018 It's not exactly the same situation, but I found a lot of popular videos re-uploaded from Youtube to Facebook on Oldlego.com's fb page. There are videos from @Sariel, @nico71, @Samolot, @Jeroen Ottens and others as well. I don't think it is a fair practice to use these videos this way to promote their business (unless they got permission from all creators), they could easily link the YouTube videos on their Fb page if they only wanted to share the creations with their followers.

Even my highly unprofessional channel has 33 subs off far fewer videos. Why bother? These people are a blight to Youtube and I hope this channel gets deleted. Not acceptable at all. There is a lot of « Top 10 », « Best thing ever » or « MOST SHOCKING FOOTAGE OF A MAN EATING A COOKIE » channel that uses only parts of videoand link the original video in the description (the annotations are no longer available). In my opinion this is a good way for discovering builder or other. It’s almost a good thing. Quote
Splat Posted January 13, 2018 Posted January 13, 2018 I sent a message to OldLego.com on Facebook. This is now the conversation went: Me: Hi. You have some really nice Technic models in your videos! Did you design all of these models yourself? OldLego.com: Hi Stephan, of course no...If you take a look at the descriptions in all the videos posted, every designer and builder is clearly mentioned. All the best Me: Oh, ok. I didn't read the descriptions. So all those designers gave you permission to upload their videos to Facebook? OldLego.com: Are you one of them? Me: No. My next question would have been to ask if they know what 'copyright' is... but he/she blocked me from messaging them on Facebook anymore! This suggests to me that they know that they are doing something wrong/illegal. It doesn't look like they have stolen any of my photos or videos yet, so there isn't much that I can do. Only the people's work that has been copied without permission can do anything about it. Quote

Lipko Posted January 13, 2018 Posted January 13, 2018 Luckily my videos are not good enough to steal. Quote

I also commented on one of the shared videos asking them about this practice, my comment was deleted without an answer soon after... Quote
