Another day and more internet drama. So,
first things first, if you didn't see my
video yesterday or somehow you don't
know what's going on, uh yesterday I
made a video apologizing to even Bad
Wolves Gaming um for using their B-roll
in gameplay in a video of mine that was
the entire timeline of The Dying Light.
Um now, in that video, I said what I did
was absolutely wrong. I shouldn't have
done it. I'd be willing to bet that
there's probably going to be another
video coming from her showing more of
the gameplay that I use, but again, I've
admitted to doing that. It was
absolutely wrong and I will make sure I
don't do that again. Now, again, in her
video talking about me, she never
mentioned that I tried to make amends
immediately. Uh, and in my video, I
explained that I did and that there's an
email chain between number one, me and
her lawyer, and then number two, me and
her. Um, and a lot of you just simply
didn't believe me or wanted to see those
emails. Now, I didn't put them in the
original video, uh, because I didn't
want to dox anyone, nor did I I don't
know, it just felt doing so, but enough
people have asked to do so, um, that I
thought I would get ahead of things and
just put all the chips on the table,
show you everything that happened, and
you can be the judge. Again, what I did
by using someone else's B-roll and
gameplay, absolutely not okay. I
apologize to her for that. That's out of
the way. Here are the emails. I'll go
through them, explain the background of
them. After this, I will not be talking
about this anymore. I don't want to make
videos on internet drama. I just want to
make more better videos for you guys
with my own gameplay. So, I tried to
take out any names or anything emails
that people could see. I I don't want
anyone to get doxed here. Um, so
basically the day after the copyright
strike went on my channel, I resent it
and a couple days later I got an email
from the lawyer named Matthew, not from
even Bad Wolves Gaming. There was never
any attempt by her to actually c uh
contact me and get to the bottom of this
quickly. Um, the lawyer immediately sent
me what appeared to be a lawsuit in a
PDF. I don't know if I can show that, so
I I'm not. But basically, the thing that
I took away from it is that when I
resent the copyright strike, I said that
what I did was under fair use. I said
that like what I used was someone else's
gameplay, but because I edited it, put
my own script on it, put my own audio on
it, all of that kind of things, I
thought it was okay. And I thought that
YouTube could just make that decision as
to whether that was true or not. Now I
get this email from the lawyer saying
that that is absolutely not the case. So
I respond to this lawyer saying this and
I said, "You can tell your client if
they resend the original copyright
strike, in other words, taking the
copyright strike off my channel, I will
take down the video and not re-upload
it." Assuming by saying this, I'm
saying, "Hey, I I did something wrong
here. I will make this right in this
way." The lawyer then responds with a
lot that I didn't understand. But the
one thing that I did is our client also
understands that if she was to withdraw
the original copyright complaint,
YouTube would consider the matter to be
resolved and would reinstate the
infringing video. And that is why in my
original email, I said I would take it
down. Like you have my word here that I
will just take down the video anyway.
Um, the one thing that does come up in
this email is this right here. It says
this acknowledgement and insurance to
YouTube. I don't know what that means.
And it was probably at this point that I
should have just got in contact with a
lawyer. I just didn't want to have to
like waste money on something that
should have just been resolved between
two people. At least that's what I
think. And in my past experience on
YouTube, when someone has taken my
things or I have used someone else's
image or something like that, it was
always just one or two emails back and
forth to either pay for things or make
things right. But when dealing with the
lawyers, it makes things a lot more
difficult. Now, in this next email that
I sent, I said that if I withdraw the
counter notification, the copyright
strike sits on my channel. You have it
in writing that if the copyright is
resent, the video will be taken down.
And in other words, I've said in my
previous email, that is exactly what I
sent. This is when things get a little
bit more intense. Uh, basically, the
lawyer gave me two options, neither of
which I fully understand. And it said,
"If you would prefer to avoid a strike
that I have to provide evidence of the
whole amount that I made off of the
video, provide written acknowledgement
and insurance sought." I don't know what
that means. Again, we're going into
that. And after this, I need to do a
bunch of things that I also didn't
understand. Then it says, "If you refer
to retain the income made from the
infringing video, you resend the counter
notification and provide requested
acknowledgement and insurance." I didn't
I already said that I would take down
the video. I said that that was fair and
I responded to this by saying the
following. I cannot see how much I made
off of the video because your client
copyrighted it. In other words, when the
video is copyrighted, I can't see any of
the statistics or anything for that
video. At least I couldn't when I went
on there. Um, so I couldn't tell them
the exact amount that was made off of
it. And I said, if your client feels as
though the entire earnings of the video
deserve to be theirs, again, this is
where my grammar is just absolutely
brutal and actually talking to someone
would have been a lot better. I said it
is well known that gameplay is not
copyrighted content. I included this in
my earlier video. I said that is what I
understood from what I know now that may
not be the case. And I said but just to
get it over with if the copyright is
taken off I will play the uh client what
the video has earned to date. Uh then at
that point the video would stay live. I
should have had a question mark there
because I didn't understand that part of
it. Uh there's no point to pay anything
if the video will not stay live. What I
was trying to say here is that if the
video was to go back live, I would be
still playing even Bad Wolves Gaming
from that video. I did not say that
properly. And in an email that comes
later, I kind of make more sense of
that. But again, this is the problem
with talking to lawyers and me having
very, very bad grammar. Now, after I
responded in that way, they just
specifically said that I did not accept
an offer whatsoever, when in reality, I
was just trying to ask what was actually
going on with this offer. I didn't know
whether they wanted me to take the video
down, leave it up, and pay the client
for what it's made and what it was going
to make, or if they wanted me to take it
down and just pay them from before. I
was trying to get to the bottom of that,
but after this, there was just no
information whatsoever. So, some time
went by and um the YouTube actually
reinstated my video back up onto
YouTube. Um now, at this point, I didn't
know until I got this email. I didn't
know that it put my video back up. I I I
didn't see the email for it or anything
like that. Uh but even Bad Wolves Gaming
wrote to me and she said that YouTube
has inadvertently automatically
reinstated the video after 10day counter
notification period. Maybe that's true,
maybe that's not, I don't know. Um, now
it's at this point where I I I don't
really understand what she's saying
here. I'm assuming she's just pushing a
message forward from the lawyer. Um, and
again, I didn't really understand it.
So, I wrote back to her uh basically
explaining everything that I explained
to the lawyer. Now, at this point, I I
am assuming I am just talking to the
person, even Bad Wolves Gaming. That's
that's what I'm assuming here. Um, I
said if you would have reached out to me
from the beginning, uh, I would have
just took down the video or private it.
Like I said to your lawyer, I offered to
pay the money from the video uh, to you
for the video and leave it up. What I
thought that that meant is first of all,
give credit in the description or even
down in the comments or a tweet um,
saying that like this I took this from
this and this person is now making money
from this video. Let's leave it up.
They're gonna make residuals from it. I
thought that was like the best case
scenario because then in turn even Bad
Wolves Gaming would be making more money
off of it in the long term. And then I
continued to say from what I understand
and I am not a lawyer, gameplay is not
something that you can copyright strike
as it belongs to the developer. Hence
why I believe YouTube won't or didn't
take it down. Again, I might be wrong
about that. I started that off by saying
I'm not a lawyer, so I don't know that
for sure. And again, as I said in my
original video, just because it's
illegal or not illegal doesn't mean it's
morally right or wrong. Um, and in this
case, what I did was morally wrong. Then
I continued to say, I mean, once you get
lawyers involved, it's kind of silly as
it costs much, much more than the video
actually makes. I am from Canada and not
Australia. So, let me know what you are
thinking. Nice to hear from you and not
a lawyer. Have a good one. Now, here's
what I didn't realize is I was still
talking to a lawyer. And you will see
more of that in the next email. Now, she
goes on to explain that this is
YouTube's air and then declines
everything that I just said, paying her
for the video. It appears as though she
didn't even listen to what I actually
offered in the previous email. Um, just
giving me some veiled threats about
using the video being up as an
opportunity and things like that. I
finished off the email chain by saying,
"Hello again. You seem really upset
about this. As I said before, I can take
it down for you. Good luck with
everything else." I just assumed that
she was going to continue to threaten me
with various legal things like suing me,
for example. Um, so I took down the
video as I promised I would as soon as I
realized it was back up. still offered
to pay her money and we are where we are
today. So again, from the very
beginning, I was in the wrong here. I
knew that and immediately offered to
take it down and make things right. Um,
I believe that is the right thing to do
and I wish that conversation could have
been had between me and even Bad Wolves
Gaming right away instead of just
throwing a lawyer into the mix and
everyone getting confused. Now, again,
this doesn't take away from anything I
did. Taking her gameplay and taking her
B-roll is without permission, without
credit, absolutely not okay. I've said
that from the very beginning. I will
never be doing that again and I will
make sure of it. But now all the chips
are on the table. You've seen the
emails. You've seen the conversations.
You know what happened. I filled you in
completely. I really don't think there's
any reason to talk about this anymore.
You do something wrong. You try to make
it right. And yeah, it's going to
happen. Everyone does things wrong from
time to time. You have to learn from
them. And you have to be better because
of it. And I will be. And if anything,
the good thing to come of this is that
my videos and all the videos you'll see
coming forward on this channel will be
better because of it. And that's all I
can vow to you guys is to make sure to
do that and apologize to even Bad Wolves
Gaming. Once again, if you would like to
get in contact, we don't have to do all
of this through videos. You do have my
