“It’s a pretty big deal,” Kjellberg said. “If I get more than three of them, my channel will shut down.”
According to Google’s policy, if Kjellberg were to receive three copyright strikes, his account will be terminated. All videos uploaded to his account will be removed and he won’t be able to create new accounts. Essentially, every video he has ever uploaded to YouTube will be erased.
here’s to fucking hoping m8
this sets a dangerous precedent that developers legally own any footage of their game recorded by anybody
trust me you do not want pewdiepie to lose this. he’s an asshole which makes everyone want to root against him but it would ruin quite a few good things we take for granted. don’t let him ruin it for everybody, let him ruin himself and himself alone.
If this goes through, developers could start copyright striking any review video on YouTube that says their game is bad and uses footage to prove it.
I don’t care how you feel about PewDiePie, you have to look at the bigger picture with this.
YouTube is just so fucked up right now.
