Well, I suppose it could be defined as copyright infringement, plagiarism, whatever. It's still illegal, and maybe YouTube protects users from things like this by just shutting down their channels. But then again, maybe the guy would have to actually make money in order for courts and legal action to be involved.StAUG said:

An actual 'rip-off' would probably just amount to a kid mimicking the art-style, recycling jokes, and stumbling over his words trying to talk fast.
It's pretty ridiculously obvious that this person just wants to get a negative reaction out of people for the hell of it.

he actually claims to be the original up-loader...wow...how many fucking laws is this loser breaking?

I sent a private message to the YouTube (as in user/YouTube) channel. I know it's probably not the right approach, but that's better than letting it pass.
All subscribers and friends care about is quantity. They're too naive to lift their nose out of this guy's asshole to notice there's better sites to watch videos than YouTube. I think it's safe to say that 90% of people with lower than 1,000 subscribers only have shit for videos.
Then again, half of people with higher than that still have shit for videos...
I'm getting off-topic. This kid will burn in hell with most of the corporate lawyers, so let's just keep talking here while everything else falls into place around us.

I think these "MY FEELINGS ON" videos would make a an excellent addition to the Escapist's roster of video series.
I remember a time when I would have done stuff like this *sigh*
Curse you 12 year old self, so confident at drawing yet to lazy to do any thing original with it.

Has anyone just ported his videos and asked for permission promoting it on youtube(not in that order)?
It would give the person channel views and promote them...

If everything was that easy, the creators wouldn't need their own channel. Unfortunately, people on the internet are naturally arrogant and feel like raising their e-peen a little by claiming they made such masterpieces as "MY FFEELINGS" (sic). Posting previews of the video (i.e., X-Play putting a chunk of ZP on their show) works. Wholesale copy and paste will not.
If The Escapist wanted to be on YouTube, it would make a channel on YouTube and post their videos or trailers for such videos. If they offered everything on YouTube, they wouldn't need their own video galleries. There's a specific reason why Yahtzee doesn't post ZP on YouTube (hint: message in a bottle in a sea of messages in bottles). Relying on a nobody-by-comparison will do nothing for The Escapist, because the only use they'll find for YouTube is to find original content ideas they like and taking them OUT OF YOUTUBE for cash.
Of course, my smarter-than-thou attitude won't get far in this discussion so I'm going to stop here.
Promotion anywhere would help though and they do have their own channel, they hardly use it or update it.ZeikHunter said:
Zero Punctuation: Halo 3 Review on The Escapist has nearly 400,000 views that isn't to bad.
I found this place through youtube quite a few months ago.
For me it is that easy and if the creators said no I wouldn't do it, so I wouldn't just apply this to everyone. Though like you said "Of course, my smarter-than-thou attitude won't get far in this discussion so I'm going to stop here."
Oh and his own channel with a view vids.
I flagged it as promoting terrorism cause I couldn't think of anything better to flag it as, although if there had been a rape option I would have used that XD.
