The Black Swan Posted July 28, 2017 Posted July 28, 2017 (edited) I found this video on you tube which is an exact copy of Eight Balls "brother" video! Is this guy a fraud or is this another one of Eight Ball's channels? Or a friend? I want to be wrong but I don't think I am.... Eight Balls original video The copy EDIT: fixed the links Edited July 28, 2017 by The Black Swan GeForce GTX 970, i5 4690K 3.5 GHz, 8 GB ram, Win 10, 1080p
Yurgon Posted July 28, 2017 Posted July 28, 2017 Good spot! In the comments someone already complained about this about a week ago, and the uploader responded he "got the stuff from a colleague" and "of course I'd mention you if I'd known your names" and apologizes. :doh: Meanwhile, the description still reads "Another fresh vid of mine much fun wishes your $uploader, all links are here in the description" and then he links to his Facebook and Twitch profiles (actually the Twitch-link is the same as the Facebook-link). Highlighting by me. WTF? Like it's Eight Ball's job to check YouTube for anyone who copies his stuff and kindly ask to be named as original content creator? Please, someone teach this kid how proper attribution works and that it's not okay to just publish someone else's content and pass it off as one's own (I'm guessing from his reaction he never bothered to ask Eight Ball or anyone else). :noexpression:
Vitormouraa Posted July 28, 2017 Posted July 28, 2017 Ha! This isn't the first time. Long time ago I sent Eight Ball a message, reporting something like that, someone stole his video and uploaded without giving him the credits/without having the permission. Though he has some great videos, that's something to be expected... :D SplashOneGaming Discord https://splashonegaming.com
Esac_mirmidon Posted July 28, 2017 Posted July 28, 2017 This is because Eightball's quality vídeos. Everything with high quality could be copied. " You must think in russian.."

The Black Swan Posted July 28, 2017 Author Posted July 28, 2017 Can he do a DMCA takedown request? Or whatever it's called.. Not sure, he knows about it now though. I let him know on YouTube. I'll look in to what kind of report is supposed to be used for this. GeForce GTX 970, i5 4690K 3.5 GHz, 8 GB ram, Win 10, 1080p
shagrat Posted July 28, 2017 Posted July 28, 2017 His biggest problem is the background music! Matt Corby - Brother As he is likely living in Germany and not even credit the Song (Eight Ball did that btw) he is taking quite a risk to get in trouble with Universal records... Just drop Universal Germany a link to the video and wait for the lawyers to send him an adhortatory letter? :dunno: Shagrat - Flying Sims since 1984 - Win 11 | Ryzen 9 7900X3D | 64GB | GeForce RTX 4090 - Asus VG34VQL1B | TrackIR5 | Simshaker & Jetseat | VPForce Rhino Base & VIRPIL T50 CM2 Stick on 200mm curved extension | VIRPIL T50 CM2 Throttle | VPC Rotor TCS Plus/Apache64 Grip | MFG Crosswind Rudder Pedals | WW Top Gun MIP | a hand made AHCP | 2x Elgato StreamDeck (Buttons galore)
probad Posted July 28, 2017 Posted July 28, 2017 eightballs should just add a short credit sequence to his videos. don't be that low hanging fruit.

Eight Ball did credit Matt Corby in the Infos. Absolutely ok. The other guy, did not, what makes him an easy prey for german lawyers. Here the first letter from the lawyer, requesting to stop the copyright infringement, can already cost you a considerable sum... :smilewink: Shagrat - Flying Sims since 1984 - Win 11 | Ryzen 9 7900X3D | 64GB | GeForce RTX 4090 - Asus VG34VQL1B | TrackIR5 | Simshaker & Jetseat | VPForce Rhino Base & VIRPIL T50 CM2 Stick on 200mm curved extension | VIRPIL T50 CM2 Throttle | VPC Rotor TCS Plus/Apache64 Grip | MFG Crosswind Rudder Pedals | WW Top Gun MIP | a hand made AHCP | 2x Elgato StreamDeck (Buttons galore)
probad Posted July 28, 2017 Posted July 28, 2017 i wasn't replying to you. if eightball uses the video itself for attribution instead of the description field, it makes it more work for someone to reupload and claim it as their own and that usually is enough to deter low-effort bums like this.

Yeah, but he would simply leave out the part with the attributions. His video is a wild mix of different other video snippets together with Eight Balls. The idea was to point Universal to the guys unattributed use of the Song and solve the whole issue through the wrath of Universal... ;) Shagrat - Flying Sims since 1984 - Win 11 | Ryzen 9 7900X3D | 64GB | GeForce RTX 4090 - Asus VG34VQL1B | TrackIR5 | Simshaker & Jetseat | VPForce Rhino Base & VIRPIL T50 CM2 Stick on 200mm curved extension | VIRPIL T50 CM2 Throttle | VPC Rotor TCS Plus/Apache64 Grip | MFG Crosswind Rudder Pedals | WW Top Gun MIP | a hand made AHCP | 2x Elgato StreamDeck (Buttons galore)
