[QUOTE=Damoman;49641471][media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=No_Vti186Tk[/media] Merlin, everyone.[/QUOTE] this is the most amazing response

[QUOTE=Damoman;49641471][media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=No_Vti186Tk[/media] Merlin, everyone.[/QUOTE] I've never seen this persons channel, but their response to the Fine Bros was dang good.

[QUOTE=Damoman;49641471][media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=No_Vti186Tk[/media] Merlin, everyone.[/QUOTE] I recognize the runes on that fish's body because I play too much Binding of Isaac. I think I might have a problem.

[QUOTE=Zeos;49641642]They apparently sent a strike against a channel that only had eight subscribers and less than 150 views[/QUOTE] Duh. They didn't go through the OFFICIAL™ LICENSING P®OTOCOLS and that means they won't be able to ©HANGE THE WORLD™

The Fine Bros do damage control on their criticism. [video=youtube;0t-vuI9vKfg]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0t-vuI9vKfg&feature=youtu.be[/video]

They look like they've taken a beating. Also, so much for 'we haven't taken down any channels' although they do mention that in the description: [QUOTE]NOTE: If you have a Content ID claim, we are working to resolve the issue by early next week.[/QUOTE] But when they mention the 'beat-by-beat' takedown I think they're referring to Seniors React, but if they were they'd be lying because they copyright striked it then created Elders React in its place.

From what i see their attempt at damage control is so fucking poor.

we are not corporate, a example of our license would be like opening a burger king franchise.

If you like watching numbers go down: [url]http://socialblade.com/youtube/user/thefinebros/realtime[/url]

btw someone found seniors react which if you dont know, is something the fine bros took down right before putting up elders react [url]https://vid.me/e/gHXQ[/url] [url]http://web.archive.org/web/20120406235634/http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=99bwWcZ2Eg8&gl=US&hl=en#[/url]

Their "apology" is the classic case of "it's not actually our fault, it's your fault for misunderstanding/being unhappy/not wanting what we want!"

If they want all this hate/negative feedback to stop they should've just apologized for their stupid idea of "React World" and trying to copyright the word "React" and learn their lesson from this, but nope. They're just digging themselves a deeper hole.

It doesn't look half bad. Damn shame they took them down.

Watching the Fine Bros subscriber count going down sure is fun to watch :ok:

Found this piece of gold in the comment section. [url]https://www.reddit.com/r/videos/comments/43e6a9/link_inside_in_2014_the_fine_bros_told_its/[/url]

Just a fun fact, owning the Trademark means that they are legally obligated to protect the Trademark else they could lose it. Have a look at King.com's Trademark of the word "Saga". They issued a C&D to the people who make Banner Saga (long predating Candy Crush).

So i checked out their update video again and are continuing to delete comments there :v:.

[QUOTE=butters757;49642410]If you like watching numbers go down: [url]http://socialblade.com/youtube/user/thefinebros/realtime[/url][/QUOTE] They lost like 10 thousand subscribers in 2 hours.

[QUOTE=FlandersNed;49642317]They look like they've taken a beating.[/QUOTE] No, that just their faces.

Hell fucking yes. I always felt like I was one of the last that knew of them lol

[QUOTE=butters757;49642410]If you like watching numbers go down: [url]http://socialblade.com/youtube/user/thefinebros/realtime[/url][/QUOTE] Dude they're loosing 100 per minute right now. [editline]31st January 2016[/editline] They just lost about 300 suddenly [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/O6rJ58G.png[/IMG]

[QUOTE=simkas;49627040]Wouldn't this be just the same as trying to copyright something like reviews? You can't copyright a broad concept.[/QUOTE] Agreed. I have no quarrel with them taking an 'X reacts to Y' format though.
