Metal Snake Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 You're all probably rolling your eyes annoyed. "Come on Snakey, Youtube drama? We're done with that shit." But this isn't about Youtube drama. This also isn't an attack on FOX or Youtube. What this is an attack on...is hypocrisy. Apparently, what we're supposed to take from this is that using clips from company-owned entertainment for a transformative video just ain't right. However, a company can straight up steal your entire video to use in their entertainment without your consent and without giving you credit. Thanks to this crap, Seth Macfarlane had his Twitter account spammed with hate and another Youtuber was given a channel strike...because his video was plagiarized. It's no wonder word of the DMCA's abuse has reached even the government now. This can't continue... 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hayden Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 Family Guy has a really lazy production team if it needs to spend a minute to two minutes using content from Youtube videos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SG19 Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 So, a video from the 1980s was featured on Family Guy and then taken down on YouTube because of a copyright claim by Fox, even though Fox technically stole the video. This is why I think Fox is almost as bad, if not just as bad as Viacom. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No they aren't, if they were they wouldn't have the courtesy to do a great voice over! Too much has already been said and I agree with pretty much everyone else 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patty Rose Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 As someone who's a huge fan of Family Guy and stills find the show funny as heck, it's absolutely disgusting that FOX pulls a stunt like this. I'm officially scared that this will become something that's normal, like microtransactions in $60 games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fortnitefan12 Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 (edited) So basically they steal someone's video, and then hit it with a copyright claim? What the hell, Fox. Edited May 24, 2016 by jjsthekid 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What the hell, Fox. Though they did steal the video, the copyright claim actually came from a bullshit automated filter. It's funny because FOX actually apologized for the latter, but not the former. I also agree with what was said with FOX being as bad as Viacom now. Just great, now we have at least four companies that are on their level when it comes to copyright abuse, the other three being Studio Ghibli, Warner Bros, and Hasbro. And that's only at least, some would say that The Pokemon Company and Konami have reached that level as well because although they've not been pulling said crap for as long, their actions have gone so far as to hurt devoted fans of theirs on a personal scale. I swear, this kind of thing doesn't even make me angry anymore after seeing it so often. Just very sad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clappy Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 I agree that Fox striking these videos down with copyright claims is massive amounts of bullshit. But on a somewhat note, as absolutely lazy joke as the joke was, I actually found it kind of funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenPaz Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Quote Quote Quote Quote How do you get rid of quotes? Anyway my thoughts on this is that this is really stupid. Why Fox took down a Youtube video that they stole. I don't know what to say? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
