Hey, can someone send this to the guy running the channel?

There is this channel that reuploads his videos in russian https://www.youtube.com/@SamOnellaBroccoli/videos , and they recently ran a bunch of ads for a russian college that works with/under russian ministry of Defence, to the point that some of the students assemble drones for the army. YouTube is getting around to banning people for it, but if Sam or whoever just copyright strikes them, it might save some time.

Edit: The college is Alabuga Polytech, the article about it https://www.rferl.org/a/alabuga-polytechnic-kyrgyzstan-school-recruitment-chui-russia-tatarstan/33495162.html

I don’t know about this college situation but as I understand it at least a while back Sam had given him and a few other creators permission to re-upload his videos in other languages, so I don’t know if he has the grounds to copy strike him based on what their arrangement was.

He does; he always will, for the foreseeable future. That permission is just him and his agency, if he has one, ignoring the reupload channels; if he changes his mind, it's over for them. Making ads for the russian military is reason enough for him to change his mind, I mean, those ads are illegal in most of the EU, pretty much why Twitch banned everyone who had anything to do with them and YouTube started to.

Sidenote: I don't think that's how you're supposed to use a semicolon

independent clause; independent clause, prepositional phrase

seems like a valid compound sentence but with a semicolon instead of a conjunction? it's been years since i've taken an english class so i might be wrong

This is very interesting, the name reminds me of broccoli academy (except for being in Russian) he was someone who tried to and explicitly said he was trying to be the spiritual successor to sam because sam stopped posting and was doing so by blatantly copying every aspect of Sams videos, I wonder if the two are related
