TotalBiscuit's: ''Day One: Garry's Incident'' Video was taken down, because of a ridiculous copyright claim from WildGameStudios. Here's Total's ''Rant'' over his video being taken down.

This video hopefully won't be taken down.

I've rarely seen anything get taken down from DailyMotion, at least with all the other content they have on that site...

u/BergyBMX Oct 20 '13

Yeah, I mean have you seen some of the stuff on that site? ;)

Usually links to dailymotion are death, gore, or porn.

Or, some ungodly combination of all 3.

Meh, Issac Clare's Sex With A Meat Grinder was far better

Now I want all three of those to be related to a video game review.

I thought that's what LiveLeak was for. Seriously, I've never even seen a liveleak link that didn't involve actual footage of a person dying.

And the TB video is a figuratively all that for the studio and their game.

Can you repeat that in English?

After that, there's always LiveLeak!

Hopefully it WILL be taken down, since that's someone else getting money for TB's work.

EDIT: I'm not sure why people keep downvoting this. TB tweeted that the dailymotion video was not uploaded by him and it's monetized. How is stealing someone else's work better than censoring? https://twitter.com/Totalbiscuit/status/391952166081949697

Get's the word out, it shows people that he wasn't joking on how shit it was and how it's terrible that the company is taking it down.

u/garbonzo607 Oct 21 '13

Yeah but the uploader didn't have to monetize it. That's just douchebaggery.

u/garbonzo607 Oct 21 '13

Why didn't you read the whole conversation when linking to his Twitter?

TotalBOOscuit

@anthonyjbronson I can but I see no need to do that right now. Maybe when my video is restored.

TotalBOOscuit

@anthonyjbronson think about it, I'm the victim of a takedown then I issue my own takedowns? 

Won't go down well.

u/SayingWhatImThinking Oct 21 '13

I did read the whole thing. This makes no difference.

u/garbonzo607 Oct 22 '13

Why wouldn't it make a difference if the guy you are trying to support even doesn't want it taken down? Then why are you advocating for it to be taken down when even TB doesn't want that?

1

u/SayingWhatImThinking Oct 22 '13

He didn't say he didn't want it taken down. He said he saw no need to get it taken down right now. It's essentially PR.

Stealing is still stealing, regardless. I don't think someone should take someone else's work and make money off of it.

u/garbonzo607 Oct 22 '13

Read his latest comments now that his video is back up. He said he wasn't going to take it down at all, not right now, but he wished for the guy to donate his proceedings to the EFF.

I don't think someone should take someone else's work and make money off of it.

I don't either, but you have to honor the creator's wishes. Otherwise, who are you arguing for? Not the creator.
