hey welcome back and in today's video we're gonna be looking at a youtube
channel by the name of Charles and Alyssa forever they're a couple's
channel where they've logged their daily lives
they were recently involved in a situation where they abused YouTube's
copyright system to silence another career that's right the worst of the
worst things you could do before I get started with this video I do want to say
that don't fall strike this video Charles
everybody's watching if you're unfamiliar with Charles and Alyssa they
have over 500,000 subscribers and like I said they mostly do your it's your
typical couples channel they recently created a video it's titled I've never
seen a list of the scared snake prank on girlfriend
it currently has over a hundred seventy thousand views it was published on
September 1st now the bad thing about this video is they literally he goes
into a pet smart purchases a snake for the sole purpose of making a video with
the full on intention of returning it when he's done about to get you with the
snake I want to get a snake this one from Petsmart which I'm will be taking
back because I'm afraid of snakes my damn self so like it's actually about to
be a process of me even getting a sneak upstairs because I'm legit scared of
snakes I didn't want to touch the snake and put the snake inside the box of
course this is mistreatment of the snake this is something that you should never
do they were called out by another youtuber by the name of officer Paul
patrol officer Paul patrol is an animal control officer that runs a channel
where he raises awareness for people that mystery and just generally animal
cruelty and he's seen the way that they were treating this snake and I had to
agree with them it is absolutely 100% wrong and he decided to make a video
criticizing that behavior just generally raising awareness around that but
Charles and Elissa they didn't like that and decided to break YouTube's golden
rule and to abuse the YouTube copyright system to silence another
creator soap guy's officer pop drill here it's very early in the morning the
morning after I had originally posted my reaction video to Charles and Alyssa
forever and the mistreatment of a snake that they had shown on their channel for
a prank video what did I wake up to this morning a copyright strike from who
Charles and Alyssa forever so they actually had seen my video last time I
knew before I went to bed last night my video head around 11,000 views or so and
several hundred comments because I know that my followers and my subscribers are
very loyal they like my videos they like the content that I produce regarding the
copyright strike I think I actually have a fair argument to appeal it through
fair use laws I'm not going to pursue that frankly I
just don't have the time you know in my video I touched on the fact that Charles
and Alyssa had never posted an apology regarding the treatment of their snake
or the snake it's not even theirs because they return the thing and I
think this just hits hits it home even further so they still haven't posted an
apology on any of their social media platforms on YouTube nowhere but what
did they do they did try and get my video removed a message to officer Paul
and Charles and Alyssa channel it is a false strike as you can see this is
Charles and Alyssa forever it's from their email it is manually detected and
this demonstrates their lack of care that they put officer Paul patrols
channel in complete danger officer Paul spends most his time raising awareness
and calling out animal abusers anytime another creator strikes on other
Creators videos that's criticizing them to silence them that is an abuse of the
YouTube copyright system and just generally a pretty not okay thing to do
many people have been canceled straight up for false flagging let alone animal
cruelty I realized that officer Paul patrol does not have the time to fight
this kind of false flag or just generally mess in this situation so
we're gonna do it for them so this is video is raising awareness towards that
because that's the rep Squad way let's go over the fair use policy a couple
things I want to highlight here is that courts typically focus on whether the
use is transformative that is whether it adds new expression or meaning to the
original or whether it merely copies the original I've brought this up in
previous videos it is transformative if you're taking a piece of someone's video
and then you're critiquing that piece right there and it is trying to silence
another creator when you do effectively claim that creators entire video
criticizing you it's not a good look in a lot of cases was very used what
happens is you you have the video from Charles Alyssa and their main message in
point is that it will to prank with the snake officer Paul patrol then takes
bits and pieces of that video and then criticizes it and it does transform the
original message of Charles and Alyssa's video because it is a critiquing of that
video it's not a prank video in itself so that makes it transformative I the
more you know now I don't want to think that Charles or Alyssa anything
malicious with anything that they've done a lot of times when stuff like this
happens it is out of complete ignorance now I do want to stress the fact that I
mean this by definition the lacking of knowledge towards a youtube copyright
system and surely they didn't intend to hurt the snake that being said I am
gonna be looking forward to see if they double down on this behavior or will
they apologize because that's interesting as it says there's always
something more interesting to me that's right you guessed it I want to know -
thanks which good leave your creative ender interesting responses in the
comment box below like there's always brothers and sisters
I will see you in the bedico I just really wanted to raise
awareness about this because how many times has the YouTube community beautif
ected by false strikes and creators lack of knowledge towards something that's
really detrimental to the whole community
let alone the animal cruelty like two things that you shouldn't be happening
but uh other than that I'm actually hoping to get this video a lot earlier I
do want to apologize for the weird schedule and uploading extremely late at
night that's not normal but it is my attempt to keep up the
daily uploads and I've just been working with some really weird hours since I
moved and everything but uh maybe this video gets out a little earlier and that
makes tomorrow's on schedule with the normal upload time which is supposed to
be 5:00 p.m. but I know that you're repping for opener Greg in how you do
that I'll get you subscribed nor case external be in the comment section to
every single feed here cuz I'm gonna be there Greg the cat's gonna be there and
the rest of the retsoor company as well and I expect Co takes this channel loves
you
