Not sure if much can be done or not, except for maybe folks letting others know who made the real video.

Then you can tell him that stealing and plagiarism are wrong.

well, technically, that is pokeplayer's place to flag the video. it technically isn't stealing, if it is free.

Once Pokeplayer is informed then everything is up to Pokeplayer whether any action is taken or not.

I have just flagged it.  Hopefully, the mods will listen and fully remove it.

Thank you for informing me of this.

No one takes my hard work and gets away with it. :mad

plagiarism

noun
1.  a piece of writing that has been copied from someone else and is presented as being your own work  
2.  the act of plagiarizing; taking someone's words or ideas as if they were your own

plagiarism

Literary theft. Plagiarism occurs when a writer duplicates another writer's language or ideas and then calls the work his or her own. Copyright laws protect writers' words as their legal property. To avoid the charge of plagiarism, writers take care to credit those from whom they borrow and quote.


Plagiarism doesn't just apply to stories, but anything else someone might work on. (Videos, games, art, etc.) It is an offensive as serious as stealing.

So, techinically speaking, it is STILL stealing even though it's free.

After all, I worked hard on that thing.  I don't want anyone stealing it. -_-

Great!  After blocking him and having the mods remove the vid, he had to just go and put it back up.

Well, I then decided to send him a message, requesting him to remove the vid.  So I go writing the message, in the most sincere way I could for this guy, and I find out that he has the "friend lock" on.  So, in order for me to send the message I have to send a friend invite and have him accept it.

As for now, I've sent him the invite, but if he doesn't listen after that, things are going to get ugly.

I just sent him a message myself. He has also stolen the works from other YT members, myself included. I thought he only posted up mine because I did not upload to YT anymore, but he's also uploaded videos that already exist on YT it seems.

I fell a little bad, now. I noticed that the video link that poekplayer984 posted wasn't down yet, so a made a couple of comments. This "mahmood1993" guy made a whim-whamsy replay, and I really gave him a lot of beef over it. I certainly didn't soft-pad anything. After reading my latest comment, it did sound a little cruel, but I didn't like getting whim-whamsied around. Mabey that'll get our point across. It looks like a "Avesfox" joined the fray. :)

It's kinda sad, actually. He didn't even make the effort to change the description or tags. Talk about lazy :\

Well, he lost all his vids.  He he!  That's what you get for commiting plagiarism. :^.^:

Hopefully, he will learn from this. :)

It seems he removed the vids himself. Or at least he removed your video himself, Pokeplayer. Maybe my warning got through to him. I told him he could end up getting banned if he didn't remove videos he posted up without permission.

And of course he got pressure from other members as well. I hope he doesn't do this again.
