Support NeoGAF

[AHA-Lambda]

I know there is a thread on this already but I think this issue needs attention of it's own.

The original thread is here and the video below

For some context the original video was about the inappropriate behaviour of KSi whilst still receiving corporate endorsements and sponsorships from carious companies sucha s Microsoft and EA. His behaviours at the 2012 Eurogamer Expo got him banned from the event for life.

From Matt Lees creator of the video

Hmmm. Seems like my video has been taken down due to a copyright claim from KSI himself. Censoring the press, eh?

From TotalBiscuit (recently thought against Youtube's copyright infringement system on similar censorship issues)

Streisand effect incoming

 

[hilariousninja]

First comments...how do they work?

 

[MThanded]

I'm guessing he will say the footage of him in the last video was used without consent.

 

[tripskylark]

lol I like KSI but these youtubers are huge man babies it's sickening

 

[Big_Al]

Come on TB, Matt Lees isn't that bad

 

[AHA-Lambda]

lol I like KSI but these youtubers are huge man babies it's sickening

He pulls a video just for criticising him (and makes a very well reasoned argument at it), how is he not that manbaby here? I swear Juniors are getting worse.

 

[MikeJAMoran]

Under UK law, Matt Lee's video was completely fine.

I worded myself wrong, KSI is a huge manbaby also

and can we stop with the the whole 'juniors' thing? its awfully disheartening

 

[LuchaShaq]

KSI has always been a man baby, not shocked at all.

Would like his viewing stats to plummet

 

[BlackBuzzard]

Well KSI just made sure this is gonna blow up in his face.

 

[FStop7]

Getting caught out on abuse of the copyright reporting system on Youtube should result in an instant ban of your own account. There needs to be accountability on both sides.

 

[Paskil]

My post from the other thread:

Man, I hope this shit totally Streisand's and blows up in his goddamn face.

 

[ItIsOkBro]

This won't blow up unless the original video is viewable somewhere.

 

[Marvel]

I don't even know who this KSI boy is, kinda glad if he behaves like that... ha.

 

[Kysen]

When I saw what KSI did in that video I felt embarassed. Totally unacceptable, video needs to be reuploaded somewhere else.

 

[Briarios]

Someone will host it now for sure - and, a lot more people will hear about it.

Seriously, if you can't stand the heat, get out of the media.

Agree about Junior thing. Guy jumps to conclusions about your post and insults you too? Dismissing us is very convenient when there's no other good response. I'm still one because I don't spam posts to graduate.

Sorry for the sidebar. I do agree that the average prominent Youtuber is way too immature. Can't say I'm surprised though with the type of viewers attracted to a video site. Doesn't make it any less sad.

 

[MoonLightWave]

Videogamertv uploaded it again http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dn3K1l3joVo.

 

[impirius]

Good job making sure this gets a ton of attention!

 

[ItIsOkBro]

Videogamertv uploaded it again http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dn3K1l3joVo.

What's different why is this one safe.

 

[MoonLightWave]

What's different why is this one safe.

Seems like they edited some things.

 

[1.21Gigawatts]

What's different why is this one safe.

He removed the clips that showed the KSI guy beeing a prick at EGX.

Matt Lees is reuploading the video but with KSI's bits cut out, although he should be able to get copyright from Eurogamer rather than KSI bungling the system. Already done

 

[ItIsOkBro]

Boooooo original needed for full effectiveness.

 

[AHA-Lambda]

He's removed the footage of KSI at Eurogamer Expo

 

[razgriz417]

They took out the direct KSI clips so theres nothing KSI can do about it lol

 

[Delusibeta]

$10 says he'll nuke the re-upload as well. After a week which demonstrated why the Streisand effect should be respected (RE: Twitch and the Horror debarcle), not a particularly bright thing for KSI to do.

 

[fabricated backlash]

The point is solid, but man could Matt lee be any more of a condescending douche?

 

[BronsonLee]

... Yes? By, you know, being one (which he isn't right now)?

 

[ANDS]

Not knowing the guy, I'd imagine - given the title of the video - this was some sort of comedy bit (that had the added benefit of the guy being able to shove his head into a woman's chest).

The problem becomes if anyone on the outside looking in views this and thinks - "Oh this is absolutely how this community behaves!"

 

[NoirVisage]

TB should really keep his mouth shut, this doesn't concern him, and he's going to bring a lot of crap to his front door sticking his nose into this mess of a situation.

 

[onQ123]

Well they did use clips of him.

 

[Mesoian]

...what?

[Messofanego]

New version being uploaded without that one clip of KSI on video.

Is this guy for real? No wonder he's trying censor the videos. Its embarrassing and disgusting. Asking a girl what her favorite std is? Seriously, fuck this guy.

 

[Pyramid head]

Well they did use clips of him.

And? Using material for the purposes of commentary or criticism falls squarely under 'Fair Use'. He had every right to use the clips.

 

[NoirVisage]

lol... KSI fan maybe?

edited previous post my post to add "concern"
I don't play FIFA, all i need to know is that he is absolutely unrelated to TB, why he felt the need to "apologize" and call the man a twat is bad form no matter how you cut it, chastise and shame this ksi character to your hearts content, especially if it turns out those skits weren't staged, but TB really should be keeping out of this.

 

[LycanXIII]

Yeah, TB should fuck off and stop fighting against censorship of criticism!

 

[GalacticaN7]

I play FIFA and occasionally post on the Ultimate Team forums and people always talk about KSI. I've never watched anything from him, basically because I don't need to watch videos talking about a game I already know tons about.

But I heard this guy makes upwards of $150-200,000 a year doing this stuff.

Ridiculous.

 

[Neuromancer]

I'm not seeing the part where he's a condescending douche.

 

[Hayabusi]

That's what I was thinking. Good thing I have no idea who that idiot is..

 

[BronsonLee]

To be honest, TB really did interject himself into this one.

On the other hand, he literally just got out of a huge fight copyright wise, so this has to basically be like kicking him in the dick right after he ran a marathon

 

[NoirVisage]

Yeah, TB should fuck off and stop fighting against censorship of criticism!

you can fight against censorship of criticism, call a man out on his wrongs and suggest he reverse his decision..but the moment you call a man a twat and try to make that man out to be an embarrassment to his entire nation over something 99% of that nation will probably never hear or care about, you are inviting backlash that doesn't need to even exist.

 

[Murkster-Dubez]

Too many butthurt white knights on GAF, this is clearly banter.

Think we owe this dude 10$ - new link doesn't work at all for me, says "removed by user"
