Transcripts

hello guys and gals me mudahar and I'm

just going to rip the bandaid off Indian

YouTube tutorial style and get right

into the meat and potatoes YouTube needs

to ban this account pretty much right

now the tech lead now if this name is uh

you know kind of you know if it's

sparking some synapses we talked about

tech lead about four years ago and two

years ago respectively okay back in the

day Tech lead was an Infamous YouTube

channel that had allegations of being a

doxer to other smaller creators in

regards to an individual known as Tren

black where his information started

being shared around like a venial

disease at one point and Tech lead was

actually one of the principal

individuals that was fingered and there

was an allegation that Tech lead abused

the YouTube's copyright system to start

grabbing people's information right now

this is already scummy in of itself uh I

believe it's not even entirely legal as

far as the United States goes and uh

does YouTube care considering that you

can make seasons on this kind of stuff

on ious villains who use these systems

yeah I don't think YouTube really even

cares even though they like to say yeah

by the way abusing the dmca tool that's

against terms of services anyways two

years ago we even looked at a tech lead

when he launched or was sorry was behind

something known as the million token now

for anybody that doesn't remember the

million token this is actually the

website two years ago a wet three social

token I'm sure you guys already know

where where the we're going in here

a million is a cryptocurrency with a

limited supply of a million tokens

pegged at a minimum value of $1 usdc

each you might be like well muda how

does he make sure that that million

token is pegged at a dollar well

apparently it's you know Tech lead's

understanding his own words by the way

on tape that apparently put a million

bucks of his own money into the actual

token to basically you know at least Peg

each token to a dollar because of an

actual physical US dollar or the usdc

still available now at the time two

years ago me coffeezilla and plenty of

other internet people covered this guy's

coin and we used his own words examined

the blockchain and at least from coffee

zilla's assessment and M my assessment

and plenty of others it turns out that

Tech lead's account might maybe were

alleged to actually be siphoning money

out who they were to who they were from

this is for all the usdc pools the

multi-million token pools and according

to my calculations Tech lead has pulled

out and siphoned into a bunch of shell

accounts a total of 3.3 million now $3.3

million that's

a ey watering to some individuals now of

course if you ask Tech lead about

million token I doubt he'll ever really

talk about the situation in detail

because Tech lead has actually been at

the receiving end of a whole bunch of

scam allegations you know if you just

look up million token on Reddit for

instance even on their actual main or

what appear appears to be the official

page at this point with 164 members

what's shocking in this situation I'm

not even joking is obviously if you go

into the newest section right here does

anyone still invest what's going on with

this coin 16 days ago okay one comment

let's see uh highly improbable it was a

scam somebody says is it going to Coke

back I think you might actually have to

start doing coke if you think it's going

to even go to the moon at that point but

again this is an allegation that has

been hit pretty severely to Tech lead

and this coin and if you look at Tech

lead's channel from my research it

really seems like a lot of the stuff if

you actually just type in million token

so one thing what I looked at the actual

uh description to this video in

2024 you can see that he's the ex Google

tech lead with infinite money trick with

crypto tether over

collateralization Cosmic keyboard and he

has a whole bunch of these like uh you

know uh sponsor links or whatever you

know join and get like you know

interview problems explor

learn how to build a million dooll

business on YouTube and my free daily

coding interview practice and of course

all the computer gear keyboards whatever

the what I don't see and thank God

for the Wayback machine back in December

10th 2021 what was that what was that

link for uh infinite money trick with

crypto stake million token liquidity to

earn quick for massive defi gelds wait

Tech lead are you are you are you

removing things from the description why

would you remove the the million token

what what what happened I thought it was

supposed to be the million token for the

millionaires look at the end of the day

this is just scummy behavior and I think

the way that he's treated this token is

more intelligent than the average uh

influencer right you know average dumb

influencers who probably you know they

they'll they'll talk about a coin they

might get into hot water because of it

but the way that he worked this coin and

the people he targeted the small fish is

small enough where the SEC really

doesn't care the only way to get caught

in my opinion by scamming somebody or by

you know getting into cryptocurrency in

general and promoting something that may

be a little crass is literally don't

don't don't don't even Target the big

guy if you target somebody that has a

friend who works in the SEC and it takes

them one call to basically call up the

boys in the in the government then

you're screwed but if you if you target

the average Andy who's sitting in their

house you know probably dumping a

hundred bucks in the SEC doesn't really

care about that or at least it doesn't

appear that they do and even if they do

all right usually the actual punishments

are very minimal

now this video is not about tech leads

million token or Trend black I've

covered those situations extensively in

the past this is about tech lead

actually breaking the YouTube's to and

in fact violating the law openly

by the way and YouTube has the perfect

example right here now throughout time

throughout the last two years there have

been plenty of bad copyright Strikers

Quantum TV was a pretty recent example

but I will say Tech lead has done

something so stupid that Quantum TV is

like a Nobel Lauer in comparison

to this okay that is Big

that's mega mind Tech lead is actually

dumb Dum let's actually see exactly what

happened so a YouTuber by the name of

Internet Anarchist made a video in

regards to Tech lead now I've been

talking to internet Anarchist in the

background basically discussing this

stuff too and uh with the video in

question that he was talking about was

how coffeezilla destroyed YouTube's

worst Tech Channel now what had happened

in the situation and what tech what uh

what internet basically sent me was that

he got a copyright strike for that video

so how coffeezilla destroyed YouTube's

worst Tech Channel now in this situation

Tech lead says that the content used was

a day in the life of a Google software

engineer content found in entire

video normally it should be exact

timestamps no he did not just use Tech

lead's content in the entire video it

was very much in fair use now to

understand quick understanding of fair

use as fair use works on four pillars

okay so measuring the four factors is

the purpose and character of your use

the nature of the copyrighted work the

amount of substantiality of the portion

taken and the effect for the use upon

the potential market now the thing about

fair use is it's not like an automated

you know thing every attempt of people

you know who fight for fair use have to

take it to court and usually it's courts

that set or update case law so the thing

about it is obviously one of the most

important examples was the mattos versus

h3h3 case and while that case is old

it's still a landmark case that's used

to this day in regards to online

entertainment and content used now

because Tech lead was filing a dmca

that's not like a cute little form for

YouTube that's telling YouTube that is a

violation of my intellectual property

I'm going to take this to

court now YouTube being part of the Safe

Harbor provision says okay I'm going to

abide by any dmca I'll just take the

video down now usually when this happens

you the content uploader has to give

your personal information or at least an

attorney can step in your behalf so you

don't have to actually dox yourself but

you are filing a counter claim meaning

that okay I'm in the right I'm

not taking the L I'm going to court now

YouTube system is so broken that

somebody can issue a dmca you can

counter dmca and then Tech lead can go I

don't have my nut to our fight for this

which is exactly what had happened now

I'm not going to play this 19-minute

diet try because it really is just blood

yapping for the most part let me just

summarize exactly some of the key points

that he was trying to make for example

the scam tuber industry is's a bunch of

YouTubers that try to call out scams now

he kind of equates this to drama or

manufacturing drama when in reality

there is no drama to be manufactured I

kind of hate it when people equate drama

with actual potential criminal actions

you know when I think of drama I think

of like Kendrick Lamar versus Drake

where they're literally calling each

other pedos and on dis tracks uh

that to me is kind of drama okay because

I really don't think there's actual CRI

criminal implications it really is just

beef between two celebrities although

that beef can accentuate into even

Wilder Heights when I think of like

these situations with cryptocurrency

with abusing the copyright system I

think of actual legal issues look we're

not going to be on YouTube Forever right

but we want to leave this platform a

better place than when we started if you

let false flaggers win then the whole

future of the platform in terms of

commentary in terms of actually like you

know self- policing our communities

that's going to be in danger you know I

don't consider you know calling out

somebody like Mama Max to be drama in a

situation I think calling out somebody

that is not taking serious investigation

seriously and putting actual criminals

behind be behind bars or rather letting

them get away or fabricating entire

stories is a net negative to the

platform because it sends a really bad

idea out into the minds of

impressionable individuals when I think

of cryptocurrency scams I think of

actual millions of dollars being

siphoned from actual hardworking people

that just want to follow an influencer

and maybe reach a fraction of their

financial success that is something that

I find incredibly predatory criminal and

it should be called out the best part

about YouTube is self- policing it

really always is the scumbags who always

call out any actual form of valid

criticism as oh wow this is just

drama it's not really drama okay when it

has real legal implications so the other

thing that Tech lead kind of uh talks

about is the copyright system and this

is where he says something that

absolutely YouTube should act on I tend

to copyright strike down any expose

videos on me because I understand that

these are not real exposes there's no

journalism involved in here at all

welcome I love how he's like there's no

journalism these people are just making

videos dog when they're putting up facts

on facts on facts that is what we

actually call journalism it's like the

same people that said yeah mudo when you

and Carl covered uh you know the

completionist and the charity situation

that wasn't real journalism do we had

interviews we had actual

evidence that we brought up receipts how

is that not journalism at that point

okay I would argue it's better than

actual journalism that happens

in most print these days but again this

is just somebody that can't take any

valid criticism now of course Tech lead

is kind of like a troll character and I

would be okay if he was just a troll but

when he's actually abusing the copyright

system that's when trolling becomes

actually illegal to the world of

business where people are afraid that

they're going to be doxed well if you're

going to come into business and do

business in this world yes you're going

to be dox you better have an identity

and so then he takes to Twitter

complaining he's going to have to dox

himself to the tech lead so you're

saying I have to share my personal

information to Tech lead or let my video

be taken down he's afraid he has to be

dogs if he wants to Contra the dispute

YouTube jumps in and says well you can

also hire an attorney if you want to

represent yourself well yeah this is

business right people have a complaint

against you you can't just be a nobody

and hide behind anonymity right when of

the main reasons I will actually

copyright strike a video though is I

want to know who's behind the video

right I want so he's basically admitting

right here that he's actually copyright

striking somebody to gain personal

information now that's not the

point of a copyright strike a copyright

strike exists because you want to stop a

video of yours that is unfairly being

used not because you want the

information of the account right there

that is abuse YouTube literally

will agree that is abuse right there and

yet he just open L admitted it want to

know who these people are what if it's

somebody I even know in real life often

times these haters are people who know

you very well actually I mean this could

be a real physical threat to me really

these scam tubers exist only because I

allow them to exist and I can shut them

down anytime I like because I own all of

the copyrights to the images and audio

that they're using I will issue these

copyright strikes on these new YouTuber

scam tuber videos and I don't really

care one way or another I guess but it's

more of a hazing ritual for me like a

welcoming ceremony just to let them know

what they're in store for and who runs

the show around here who owns the

content around here so this is my

welcoming ceremony what happens next in

these copyright strike cases is

typically we go into court proceedings

where I have 30 days to file a legal

action which typically I'm not going to

waste anybody's time doing this is

really just my welcoming ceremony hazing

ceremony for people and so the video

will probably be back up after a while

bro he just admitted that he's literally

dmca striking to hurt the actual Channel

not that he has any intention to go to

Court to so what's really insane

about this is if you like just read

through YouTube stuff if your work was

post without your authorization you can

submit a request that the content be

removed submitting a removal request is

a legal process like I said it's not a

rinky dink Forum that you just sign with

YouTube this guy basically admitted that

this is his hazing ritual now look at

the end of the day okay this is the most

clear-cut example of copyright

abuse I have seen on the platform I mean

this scum bag is openly admitting to it

now YouTube says do not make false

claims misuse of the removal web form

such as submitting false information may

result in the suspension of your account

and other legal consequences no I think

it should actually result in legal

consequences now think about it

like this if you're somebody who uploads

a video you basically get shafted in

every possible way your video dies

completely fails in the algorithm right

unless you know obviously when it comes

back people band together to watch the

content but that's

sometimes you know it's like that that's

like you wish upon a star kind of

situation no the reality of it is if you

file a dmca on somebody and you submit a

legal process and they file a counter

claim you should 100% be required to

file a legal you know like you

should be going to trial you should be

taking things to court now this is why I

always say look if you want to file a

DMC against me I am very careful every

video feed of the tech lead that I've

shown in this video right now is stuff

that I believe is in fair use because

I've only shown what I've had to in

order to comment on it and discuss this

situation if tech lead files a dmca on

me I get my lawyer we get a counter

claim going and if he doesn't want to

sue me because he doesn't want to go to

trial because he thinks he might lose

that should absolutely result in his

Channel being terminated okay

how is it that you're going to cause me

grief but now that I want to take now

that I want to now that the ball's

in my court I actually say take me to

court you're not going to do it how is

this even okay how is this even like

legal you can just abuse this form to

basically destroy channels or get rid of

any criticism you want and it really

feels like there is no legal implication

that ultimately Falls onto anybody

abusing the system if YouTube doesn't

remove the tech lead's Channel because

of this I really don't know what message

they're sending literally anybody can

abuse this system and get away with it

and that's just fine I don't think

that's okay but ultimately this is

YouTube's platform they can decide what

they want this is just the most

clear-cut example and it's not just me

saying it there plenty of other content

creators that said ladies and gentlemen

if you like what you saw please like

comment and subscribe dislike it if you

dislike it I know it's been a lot to

cover just covering the tech lead has uh

brought back a lot of memories of of

cringe that I've covered in the past but

ultimately I think the biggest fault is

this this is not a situation where the

US federal government has to be involved

YouTube can literally step in and do the

right thing we should never tolerate

copyright abuse on this platform okay

because it ruins the entire platform for

every Creator out there if one scumbag

like this can't take any criticism and

decides to abuse actual legal things as

his hazing ritual that said this is me

muda and I'm out
