[media]http://twitter.com/pkmnreorch/status/699741026072686594[/media] He recently readjusted his Youtube Channel too so the videos would fall in line with the licensing agreement he had with the Pokemon Company. Absolutely disgusting.
Another tragic victim of youtube's copyright auto-report bot being a failure of a system
[QUOTE=J!NX;49756153]Another tragic victim of youtube's copyright auto-report bot being a failure of a system[/QUOTE] TPC has become EXTREMELY protective and greedy with their IP recently. So YouTube shouldn't take a lot of the blame.

Well that's a load of shit
What a bunch of dicks, they had an agreement and then TPC silently takes down his channel without a warning.

Ugh. Son of a bitch, I hate it when this dumb shit happens.
"You like our games so much that you've spent hours composing covers for its music? Go fuck yourself"
The issue being....... Why not just upload them again somewhere else?
[QUOTE=pentium;49756516]The issue being....... Why not just upload them again somewhere else?[/QUOTE] He has licensed the music directly from The Pokemon Company and also sell these songs on iTunes. They are messing with his livelihood and they are clearly doing a search purge.
Right, forgot he had it licensed.
I'm not a copyright lawyer by any means, but if they keep doing this do you think he would have a strong case against them? If he has them licensed out, you would think this is a huge breach of contract. But I don't know how the terms on licensing usually goes.

He can argue the YouTube is for previews.He just needs to pay royalties on ad revenue (If he had done it). But Something tells me that The Pokemon Company will not allow it.
Looks like his music is still up on Spotify and various places around the Internet, including multiple online storefronts. If you want to support the guy, buy his album.
It does suck and I think TPC is being shitty and overprotective, but as he explained in one of his videos, it turns out that the specific license he has for his music does not cover uploading to YouTube. That's actually a separate license he would've had to have obtained alongside his existing one. So TPC is technically in the right with these takedowns, though I have a feeling it was done as part of a larger typical corporate search-n-purge rather than anything related to the license. He was in the process of changing his videos from full songs to just being previews, but the Johto Legends songs were still up on the channel in full. That's probably what got the third strike.
