Tons of content gone!!

So the video hosting site we posted videos to for years has terminated every link we have every shared... Got the news via email a little bit ago. I don't even know exactly what shows are impacted by this but I know most of the early content since that's what we used when we started here. This is a HUGE issue and I will figure out a solution.

Comments

It's hit and miss...I noticed there would be one but the next video would say not available. The thing that socks you can pay a website to have a place to post but if they decide to shut down you are out of luck. I did a memorial for a friend. Paid for life... then it was gone.

Andrea Bunting

Hey btw you guys should watch Weak Hero Class 1 it a great show or From !!! It would make me happy 😊

Crystal Santana

I mean, There’s always the “ unexpected results “ :)

Struzzylive

Thank you for the quick reply, yeah I figured that. I am almost entirely asking these questions because I myself am interested in being in the movie/series reaction space on YouTube but as I was doing research I’ve heard some scary things to say the least that can come out of it so I’m just confused on if I should do it or not and how to navigate it safely if there is a safe way.

Champion Productions

I think it's pointless - IPs are going to claim/strike channels if they have a disclaimer or not

Nikki & Steven

Just saw you posted an update video, sending you guys support that must suck, just wanted to ask a question that I’ve been meaning to ask some creators for a while now and it seems to be for the bigger creators like you guys who don’t have the fair use disclaimer in their YouTube video descriptions and I just wanted to ask if that disclaimer is pointless to basically include onto your videos.

Champion Productions

yes it does... this is going to be a very large challenge

Nikki & Steven

This f'ing sucks

Chaos

on a bright side, which isn't much I know, this issue won't impact the new season

Nikki & Steven

My bad they’re still here lol

John Struzziero

Ya know what sucks? Is I finally Joined for the full cobra Kai reactions :(

John Struzziero

My wife and I just started season 8 of Game of Thrones with you guys, we have been rewatching the old series because of house of the Dragon. Fingers crossed you can get things fixed!

Jeff Lunan

Damn! What a bummer. Thanks for letting us know.

Robin Lee Melendez

Damn so sorry to hear that. I love catching up on older reactions I missed. Hope the solution isn’t too much of a pain in the ass for you guys.

Frank

I'm sorry, Steven. I hope you can get it back. With all the hard work you put into your editing, that sucks bad.

angie808

What.. wow that sucks.. so many things I still wanted to get to

Zeph

Was wondering what happened, i was watching your Ozark reactions cause i had never seen the full length reactions to them, was on season 1 episode 5 and went to watch it and it was gone.

SAMCRO_89

So sorry to hear that! Try not to stress. Good things happen to good people and you guys are the best!

Carrie Smith

Oh no that's terrible. They should contact you before just doing that

Audra Muncy

Nooooo. I was on the last season of Black Sails!!!

Dallas Adams

correct. I always wait till the video clears the checks but even still, IPs can still manually claim/block videos. not an enjoyable process.

Nikki & Steven

I’m sorry to hear that! I hope you are able to get everything straightened out.

Meggerz

Scariest thing moving to All Digital! Every old schools Fear!

Brandon Wheeler

Got it, and I assume you guys post your videos to private or unlisted first to see if it gets copyright claimed then if it does go back to the editing board until it’s clear to be uploaded. Or you guys just post it regardless of being claimed because the content isn’t monetized on YouTube anyways. I’m guessing it’s one of the two.

Champion Productions

That's a little more complicated but the easiest explanation on what makes reaction videos safe from copyright is: 1) the video has to be transformative 2) it can't do damage to the IP and 3) can't serve as a substitution for the original source. So for us, by chopping the content up and removing a bunch of it and providing commentary throughout, we we following copyright laws.

Nikki & Steven

Yeah I figured, thank you for the additional reply! And I have a final question if you’re open for it, if copyright is in place for content like this then how do you do your posts on YouTube? I’m confused how one’s supposed to go about this since people such as Brandon Likes Movies got into complications. I don’t even know if you guys are or can be monetized or not on YouTube.

Champion Productions

It's a copyright law violation so the decision is easy for us... no one should ever be showing the full show/movie, especially today knowing how serious it is.

Nikki & Steven

That's awful! I hope you can figure something out.

Emily S.

Ah man that's gotta be beyond stressful! Hopefully you're able to get things back to normal, good luck!!

Angelica

Oh okay cool to know. I also know you guys do the watch along and don’t show the movie/show footage on Patreon whereas some others do. I’m wondering how the decision for that is chosen and what the best choice is?

Champion Productions

Yeah. Wow is exactly what I’m feeling

Nikki & Steven

We do use the Patreon player now. It didn’t exist back when we were first uploading.

Nikki & Steven

I’m not a paying member here on Patreon so I don’t see the content anyways but I’m wondering how come you guys and some other creators don’t post your videos via the Patreon player itself but instead use other sites to host your videos?

Champion Productions

Wow brother!

Jesco White

Oh no! That’s nuts! Love you guys!!

Veronica Daye West

You got this guys 🤞
