[MenaceMovies] Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 Hi, My YouTube account is for GTA Machinima. Recently some random Indian comes along, copies everything from my channel and pastes it on his. He copied the name, my slogan ("All things GTA Machinima") and even claimed to be apart of my team. I flamed him so much (ofcourse, after I'd nicely asked him to remove the copied material), and then he deleted and ignored all my comments on his YouTube channel. I messaged him telling him that I would contact YouTube about him. And then he deletes his account. He then remakes another accoutn which I found today. This One.. He copied my name again, not as bad but you can so tell that he got the name from me and he is also semi-copying my slogan "The Movies of GTA Machinima". His site is also very simular to mine aswell. If you'd had this happen to you before, you'd know how it feels. I am extremely pissed off and I don't know what to do about it. Also both of his subscribers are himself. "Nikpat" is his old account which he later deleted previously. What can I do about that dickkhead? I really want to flame him, but then I the YouTube mods might ban me. Also, he's only got 2 subscribers (both himself) and he is now a featured channel in India! Haha, just shows how popular Indians are on YouTube. The most subsribed channel in India, has only got 4 subscribers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[MenaceMovies] Posted May 26, 2008 Author Share Posted May 26, 2008 Um, report him? What could they do? They haven't got any solid proof that he copied me. How do you report? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Struff Bunstridge Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 I've absoloutely no idea what they could do. I'm sure they must be ale to do something, though. They'll be able to see that your profile is older, and that you uploaded all the videos before he did... If it's just your style he's copying, no big deal. If it's your artistic content he's ripping off, I'm sure they have measures in place to prevent this from happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[MenaceMovies] Posted May 26, 2008 Author Share Posted May 26, 2008 Do you have any idea how to submit reports on for the YouTube Administrators because I don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebel Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 Contact Youtube and tell them the problem I'm sure they will sort something out and investigate the problem. Flaming him isn't going to make the problem any better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TenaciousD. Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 Dude, I really would not worry about it. Yeah, the name and slogan are similar but it is hardly like he is downloading your videos and reuploading them. I would just leave him to do what he wants, it is hardly going to steal views or anything from you. I know how it feels to have people copying your work, a couple months ago I made this: Then 2 weeks later this video appears.. End of the day, he is hardly a threat to you, you have alot of good movies, he has a 1minute video of a car driving round the desert to a crappy song. Leave him to play by himself.

YourNeighborhoodKiller Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 Just report him. And maybe YouTube staff will disable him from making other accounts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andyzoot Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 Hey I had 2 similar things happen to me. Some months ago I made this video series called "GTAForums: The Movie" Then a couple months later I found that some prick called "Ottae" made a video using characters and likenesses from "GTAForums: The Movie" and did not give me any credit for it at all. I was very angry. Not only that but some fool called Tank made an internet forum based on the "GTAForums" that I created a world for in the movie. I have yet to see any royalties from neither 'Tank' or 'Ottae' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vanzant Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 TD has good taste in music. As far as the topic goes, welcome to the Internet, where your stuff is everyone else's stuff. You might try a Macro on the bottom corner, but other than that I guess for the Forth or Fifth time, report it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Protonkid Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 You don't know how lucky you are. If people are copying you that means you are good at what you do. No one copies me - meaning that I am not good enough. Just face the fact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
