Illegal Reupload
🕑 Added 2017-09-04 16:21:42 +0000 UTC I didn't think I'd be talking about copyright from the other side any time soon, but here it is.I found out today that one of my current or former $10+ patrons is a fraudster who first posed as a PokeTuber's channel and is currently posing as me. They're using my name and picture and have uploaded one of my videos.
I know it's a current or former $10+ patron because the video they uploaded...is PokéSins Johto Episode 1. They recorded it on their phone and posted it, offering to subsequently upload all the others too.
I am incredibly grateful to all my patrons for their ongoing support, but the fact that one of you would use this as a chance to illegally repost my videos is...disappointing.
I have taken the appropriate steps with YouTube, reporting both the video and the channel. If the person behind this stops now and takes down the video, I will look no further. However if this persists, I will have no choice but to take further steps.
As you know, the PokéSins Johto episodes are exclusive to $10+ patrons as a reward for their support, and the public uploading of them by this fraudster devalues your support and their exclusivity.
Rest assured that I'll do everything I can to ensure the exclusivity of your rewards.

No chance. If I let copyright infringement stop me from creating, I'd never get anything done.

This is an outrage!! Who in the right mind would have the guts to do that?!

hope this doesn't stop you uploading more videos, would be a shame to have pledged $10 only for you to stop

I think you'd be going too easy on them if you let them off now. Take them down and make an example of them.

That is really pathetic... Shame on him.

It's awful that someone would do that... I hope it all gets sorted out soon.
