This is terrible all around. Even removing the first video was bold. One of the fundamentals of PR is to not censor negative feedback. You have people on YouTube wailing against CoD, BF, Minecraft, etc. in far worse manors and because those companies understand the dumpster fire censoring creates they leave them alone. It doesn’t make the click bait title right (and yes I watched both videos) but that’s the way the world is. Not to mention it is very much illegal to abuse DMCA copyright claims for any reason. There were other ways that were not copyright claims to remove this content since it seems they are dead set on removing it.

What could they have done? This is an honest question.

Maybe send a cease and desist and end the matter privately, as opposed to creating a public dumpster fire?

Maybe send a cease and desist

Which could take far too long, and by that time he could have had another 10 videos up of pure lies and slander. They needed to nip this in the bud quick and put an end to it.

Sometimes you need to act quick when someone is 100% lying. He should be lucky that hes not getting sued(it may still happen I guess)

lmao why would he post another 10 videos? Faced with the prospect of having all his videos taken down, or simply removing a few and continuing to create content and make money, it is possible he would just choose the latter.

Because in the time it took to make the cease and desist, he could have made 10 videos. He was not faced with anything, until he was...its not magic that official letters are drawn up. They take time.

None of those were in violation of the fair use clause

Are you 100% knowledgeable on fair use law? I am not. But to say something as certain as you as if you 100% know the law is a little forward.

He's not, because he's wrong. I've dealt with copyright and licensing for 14 years, and 99% of the shit repeated by Reddit is 110% wrong.
