Transcripts

I need your help everybody I need your

help this is a serious situation and it

sucks because I'm uncomfortable being

serious because I like being very loose

and jokey and roasting things and just

you know just a playful person but this

is a serious situation and I'm going to

try to handle it with just as much

information as I can possibly have

that's why I wrote it down in my

notebook because I wanted to make sure

that I didn't forget anything but I just

wanted to mention that in the very

beginning I kind of just want to get

that part out the way this is is a

serious topic though and it's a problem

with YouTube I've been seeing videos

about false copyright strikes lately and

it finally hit me too so if you want

like The quick summary version of this I

suggest you click the first link in the

description box below and read through

that whole thing and spread that news

like spread that post and just make sure

more eyes and ears are seeing it so we

can make sure this doesn't happen again

because this happened to me this

happened and other creators and I'll get

more in depth with that and this could

potentially affect other creators that

you definitely don't want it to happen

to so let's just get started so

basically on July 3rd I woke up to an

email from my contact at YouTube and

they told me hey you got a copyright

strike if you want to figure out what's

going on go on your computer and you'll

see what happened so I've never gotten a

copyright strike in 10 years of doing

YouTube so so I was just like boom I'm

out of bed just running to the computer

right there in my face I've never seen

that before in 10 years Channel

violations active copyright strikes one

out of three so like anybody would do I

clicked on the copyright strike just to

see what I did if I infringed on any

copyright and seeing if there's anything

I can do to resolve the situation or

make sure that this never happens again

and I'm going to block out any names

because I don't want to reveal anybody's

personal information but I got the

strike on July 3rd 2024 it's a 90day

strike so it says 84 days but I've been

researching this for 6 days going on

seven days now basically a full-blown

week now and that's why I'm making this

video because there's a lot of stuff

that isn't right with this so

basically I got my video called watching

scary videos that gave me chill so bad I

almost teared up it's a scary animation

reaction and it's from 1148 to 759 which

is where the copyrighted content was

found so that's what like 6 minutes and

some change and it was content Called

Paradise hell and I'm just going to

block out the Creator's name so my first

reaction was literally like what like

what is that I don't remember reacting

to anything Called Paradise hell in my

entire life so what I did I clicked on

actions because there's two actions that

you can do you can contact the person

who's the claimant the the one who filed

this copyright strike on you or you can

submit a counter notification which is

basically like you're kind of like your

own lawyer and you give all this

evidence proving that what you did was

fair use and you have the right to be

able to react to this content or

transform this content so what I wanted

to do at first because I had no idea

what that even was I wanted to email the

email that is right there like the email

that's right here I'm not going to show

the full email I'm just going to show

you the first four letters of it but

just take my word for it okay it says

Visa so basically I emailed them and I

just wanted to know what was going on

and how can we resolve this and I don't

even know what this paradise hell

animation even is and the sad part is

you can't even click on the video or see

anything from the video once you get a

strike because YouTube just takes it

down automatically like you would think

that they would give you a heads up

especially if you've been doing YouTube

for 10 years you would think that they

would be like hey you know somebody's

trying to um copyright strike you on

this content maybe you know you want to

review this and try to have a discussion

with them no it was just came out of

nowhere like it literally came out of

nowhere no emails about anything no

heads up it was just boom bam strike in

your face but I'm going off topic

because that is not the point of this

video the point of this video is that

I've never heard of paradise hell before

so since I couldn't even figure out what

happened in my own video video I went to

YouTube just like I'm doing right now so

I typed in Paradise hell and then the

person's name because that was the whole

video name it was Paradise hell a film

by and then the Creator's name so I

typed that whole thing in and these were

the results it was just stuff like this

it was hell's Paradise people talking

about things like this hell's Paradise a

bunch of shorts about hell's Paradise

but there was nothing Called Paradise

hell with that Creator's name attached

and I was so confused because I still

couldn't figure out what that even was

because maybe if I just saw like a

screenshot then I would be like oh that

animation okay I do remember that but

there was nothing there was nothing that

I could go off of so the next thing that

I did was I Googled it so as you can see

right here I Googled Paradise Hell by

the Creator and it says Paradise hell a

short from 2023 on

imdb.com so one thing that I noticed is

that that thumbnail looked very familiar

I know that animation before because I

saw my boy Corey react to it I vividly

remember that thumbnail it was like a

person standing at a window and he just

you know had his face in the corner and

then the person's face was there and I

was like what is that animation even

called so I went to YouTube again and I

typed in Corey kensin spooky scary

Sunday playlist and I'm scrolling

through all of his videos and I see it

on spooky scary Sunday number 20 she is

standing outside your window so I go

back into the search bar she is standing

outside your window I search it and this

is the thumbnail that pops up the same

one from when I looked up Paradise hell

the short from 2023 and I'm like what is

going on I could have sworn the creator

of that was from a different person so I

click on his video and he always leaves

links to the animations that he reacts

to so I scroll down and it's called

Pleasant in by David Romero and I was

like that does sound familiar I know who

David Romero is because I've reacted to

Pleasant in I've reacted to I believe

midnight snack and other ones so I click

on the video this video is no longer

available due to a copyright Claim by

the person who copyright claim myself as

well I was like wait is this David's

animation or is it this person's

animation so I clicked that IMDb link

the paradise hell the short from 2023

and then once I actually go to the site

it got changed from Paradise hell 2023

to Paradise hell 2016 which doesn't make

any sense at all because before I click

the link it said 2023 and a little

trivia about the film is that it's the

world's first AI animated short film

which I don't even know what that even

means it's supposed to be the world's

first AI animated short film like how do

you even know that like did it just get

put into a database of every single AI

animated film and then they were like

yep that's the first one so immediately

after that I go to David's channel the

last video that he has is from8 eight

months ago and I see a pinned comment

and it says this Pleasant in wasn't

deleted by David it was taken down by a

false copyright strike from the person I

looked into the company and it is owned

by the person who owns the company who

on IMDb listed the video as a

directorial by him under the name

Paradise hell so I looked at the replies

and there were a couple other people

that got their videos copyright strike

and removed so immediately after that I

texted Corey and I just told him that

somebody's going around false copyright

striking anybody who's reacted to David

Romero's Pleasant in and he said I

remember personally asking David for his

permission to react to his stuff so if

they try me it won't work and I was like

you know what that's actually a good

idea let me contact David Romero and see

what he thinks about all this so I get

into contact with him and I let him know

hey man like what have you told YouTube

what are they doing about this to reject

this whole false copyright strike what

are they doing to make this all go away

and he showed me so much evidence that

this was his like he posted the

screenshot of the IMDb post of paradise

hell before it got changed from 2023 to

2016 he showed me so many versions of

like him working on the animation which

I'm not going to show here just in case

the person is going to try to screenshot

these and say this is him working on it

but he showed me so many like work in

progress animations that he did on this

he even showed me the copyright he

showed me the title of the work and just

the copyright and the copyright date and

the author of it that's David Romero

it's the entire motion picture so the

entire animation he copyrighted it and

he still got his video taken down and

others taken down and he got a strike

and anybody who's reacted to it got a

strike besides Cory's video that's why I

want this to be resolved before even

more people get their videos strike the

craziest thing to me is that he actually

has the paperwork of the copyright

that's what I'm looking at right now I

don't want to show it just in case like

I said the person tries to like

screenshot and he's like oh so that's

what it looks like that's what it looks

like let me put my name on it and just

all these work in progress like

animations and still images it's sad

it's sad because David Romero put his

time his effort his hard work into

making a really really good animation I

remember reacting to it and I just

remember watching it and I was like this

is impressive it looks like we're

watching a painting move and I'm not

like an artist and I don't know all the

terms but it felt like all the brush

Strokes were just like each individual

frame looked like a painting and it just

looked like a painting moving in real

time it's just a shame that this is

happening and it's really sad but yeah

I'm looking at the emails that he sent

me so much evidence and the saddest

thing is David told me they still said

that he needs to provide more evidence

he has all the work in progress um

pictures and animations he has the title

of the copyright that's in his name the

entire motion picture he even showed the

images of the paradise hell dates being

changed on the IMDb page because it's

not like a foolproof system like you can

easily change the dates on Facebook on

IMDb and nobody would even know like

heard there was a big problem with

people that were trying to break into

the film industry that were adding

themselves as part of the cast and crew

to kind of build up their resumés to

make it look like oh I worked on this

film oh I helped this project oh I was

one of the editor assistants on this

project and it's easy to just like add

your name on there when there's so many

people that you have to credit and I

heard that that was a thing like at

least a couple years ago like in 2022 I

heard that's how people were like trying

to build up their credentials like the

the industry to be like indie filmmakers

or work in like Hollywood and just

basically gassing yourself up to make

yourself look a lot better so with those

emails and with his response and the

mountain of evidence I told him that I'm

going to do everything that I can to

help you out and you know to make sure

that all of our strikes get removed make

sure that your animation goes back up

and you know you could proudly have your

work up there without anyone trying to

falsely take it down so the craziest

thing about this individual copyright

striking everybody falsely by the way is

that they have removed every trace of

their existence on YouTube and any trace

of pleasant in they're trying to take

down all the animations and you can only

find Paradise hell in two places

Facebook and IMDb which just has like

the biography of everything and just

like the description of the video

Facebook actually has it up uploaded and

the date still says 2016 but like I said

Facebook posts and IMDb dates can be

changed they can be accessed and changed

and that is a fact so I did some

research everybody I tracked down the

creators YouTube account called image e

Nation 56.9 th000 subscribers no content

though they deleted all of their content

and I was like of course they did so the

funniest thing about the internet is

that you can find whatever you want to

find like if somebody privated or

deleted all of their videos all you need

is the URL of the channel and bada bing

bada boom So I entered the website right

here found all of the privated deleted

videos but I'm only looking for one

thing I'm only looking for Paradise hell

and I'm only looking for it to be

released after 2016 and I found exact ly

what I was looking for everybody

Paradise hell AI animated horror short

film by the Creator it was uploaded

517 2023 not February 21st 2016 like the

IMDb page is suggesting it was uploaded

to the image e Nation channel on

517

2023 and the only reason why I'm even

connected to this channel is because

this channel was connected to the

Creator himself if you type in the

person's first name and last name and

YouTube channel it actually takes you to

the YouTube channel of their name where

it said Paradise hell a film by and then

the person's name if you put their name

and then YouTube channel in a Google

search it'll bring you right to image e

Nation no videos though you take the URL

you put it in a website like playboard

or way back machine and you can get all

of these videos all of the videos they

privated and deleted it shows for a fact

right here

517 2023 not to mention that there's

also previews like this person uploaded

a trailer on March 18th 2023 for their

world's first AI animated film and then

they finally released it on 517 2023 and

just to put a little fun fact there I

read the biography of this creator of uh

Paradise hell and and it says right here

in 2023 the Creator won the Monstra 2023

honorary award for Extraordinary

contribution in the field of Animation

film making with his AI animated film

Paradise hell which made him the creator

of the world's first AI animated short

film his upcoming debut film Paradise

hell premiered at the 2023 film

festivals in lisban Portugal and this

was a mini biography by Shan krinski of

the Euro time

I actually looked up Shan krinski and

there was nobody with that name it tried

to correct me to John krinski the dude

who acted in the office and the one who

starred in the first quiet place and

directed the other ones and I looked at

the Euro times and anybody on the staff

and was just trying to search for a Shan

krinski could not find anything I tried

a combo of like Shan krinski Euro times

couldn't find anything what I wanted to

do most importantly was figure out if

this animation won a Monstra 2023 film

award in Lisbon Portugal so what I did

is I actually went to the Monstra

website and I got the contact

information of the director so shout out

to the director of Monstra Film Festival

your name is Ines baroso hopefully I

said that right inz but I said hello

Monstra is it possible to get a full

list of all 2023 Monstra film candidates

a person who potenti potentially stolen

animator's work is claiming to have won

an honorary award from Monstra in 2023

and then I sent a link of paradise hell

and sent it to inz and I was hoping to

get a list of all the entries to the

Monstra 20203 films and award winners

but I can't find any could you please

provide it for me and they responded

right away so enes you are the real MVP

hey Jay hope you can find the award

winners of Monstra 202 23 here and they

gave me a link and I'll link that also

in the description box below I also

looked and did not find any award given

to the film or the film creator that you

mentioned I hope you managed to sort

this out best regards inz baroso the

director of production for Monstra Film

Festival so I tried to track down Sean

krinski of the Euro times Bros a ghost

he's got to be the first writer in the

history of the Euro times to never want

any type of clout because I could not

find his name for anything I even just

put a combination of like Sean krinski

and then some of the words that he wrote

because apparently it was mini biography

by Sean krinsky of the EUR old times so

he wrote that right so I had to try to

find it somewhere but I couldn't find

any of it so if you find it and you

found Sean krinski of the Euro times and

he wrote all that please let me know in

the comments I'll wait for it but not

only that like I said I emailed the

director of production at Monstra Film

Festival

that was never entered into the 2023

film festival in lisban Portugal and it

didn't win any awards especially not for

an extraordinary contribution in the

field of Animation film making when I

told David that I would do whatever I

can to help him out I meant that and I

don't appreciate something like that

happening to David especially after I

read what he said in his tumblr post so

this is what David said and this was the

first link in the description box so if

anybody could spread the word on this

like I said please leave a like on this

video please spread the word about this

like we have to protect the creators the

people who took the time to make

beautiful work like Pleasant in David

Romero is an extraordinary artist and he

doesn't deserve this and all the other

creators that got strikes that aren't

able to do anything that got rejected by

YouTube they deserve to have those

strikes taken away as well just because

some stolen animation and passed it off

as their work and bypassed through the

YouTube copyright system but I'm going

to read what David said to end this

video and David said this might as well

post this here for posterity since

YouTube has yet to resolve the matter a

couple of weeks ago my short film

Pleasant Inn got a false copyright

strike from an individual named blank he

has been striking any YouTube channel

that reacted to my short film in the

hopes of uploading his own stolen

version titled Paradise hell for

comparisons here is my original short

film and then you can also click the

link and watch both and it's hilarious

it's actually hilarious because there is

one scene where it honestly looks like

the pleasant

inside is just almost like blacked out

with like a black rectangle and then it

says Paradise hell over it and it's so

sloppily done and it just looks so out

of place that I almost spit out milk in

my mouth that I wasn't even drinking

that's how hilarious it was I couldn't

even believe that it said that this

individual has a history of Flatout

stealing as an example this is his

Bloody Marry graphic novel which

actually is a manga called ibitsu with

only the text dialogue changed he's

literally just selling this on Google

Books and Amazon without any push back

and he said and to add insult to injury

and then he posts that it says the

trivia of it is that it's the world's

first AI animated short film so far

YouTube hasn't done anything about this

and I'm tired of waiting many channels

have received false copy right strikes

by this individual just for reacting to

Pleasant in since 2019 he said I don't

even feel bad for putting him out there

because now he'll get the notoriety he

desperately crave from stealing I will

add this to my continued distrust and

disdain for generative AI because it is

only ever used for grifting and stealing

also the IMDb estimates the budget as

10,000 and girl I wish I had 10K when

making Pleasant in and then just reading

some of the comments it says I'm so

sorry you're still going through this

gez I hope this will come to a stop soon

which wishing you the best and David

said thank you it's been really

stressful but I hope things will work

out at least talking about it felt kind

of nice if you're on Twitter adding

YouTube directly on there can help

especially if you can get traction if

you don't have much Twitter following

you could try reaching out to other big

YouTubers to promote it fireborn

recently went through a copyright strike

issue and was able to resolve it by

calling YouTube out publicly I no longer

have a Twitter account but I have gotten

in touch with a couple other YouTuber

channels affected with these strikes who

are adding YouTube Twitter on my behalf

I've also sent appeals and counter

strikes to YouTube since the first false

copyright strike and I'm one of those

people that he's talking to I'm not

trying to say that like I'm like the

biggest channel in the world but I'm

going to do what I need to do to make

sure that David gets his strike removed

and everybody's strike gets removed and

this doesn't happen again because this

is just a gross it sets like a bad

example like you can easily bypass the

YouTube copyright system and it just

goes through and then the actual creator

of the work got their work taken down

that they actually sent me like the work

in progress of it was disgusting I was

just like holy [ __ ] this person is

showing me the work like boom boom boom

boom boom all the work that they put in

and it's still not enough does the other

person even have anything like that no

they don't because that's not their work

like I did so much research on this

throughout the week it's been stressing

me out out because I I want to make sure

it's the right thing to do because I

told my YouTube contact this I said hey

man if this is actually this person's

video I'll just take the 90 days but I

want to make sure that YouTube actually

did the thorough work and figured out

who this animation belonged to because

if I am sitting on 90 days on a false

copyright strike something that somebody

stole and passed it as their own then

obviously I'm going to be pissed off

like I'm pretty sure everybody that got

a false copyright strike got pissed off

and there needs to be more eyes and ears

on this situation and it all starts with

us everybody like me everybody watching

share it at YouTube let them know like

show them this video I showed so much

evidence the most damning evidence was

if you type in the Creator's name and

their YouTube account it takes you to

image e Nation all their videos got

deleted you go back and see all like the

video archives the animation was

uploaded in May of 2023 Pleasant Inn by

David Romero was created in 2019 I

reacted to it in December of

2022 if that's the case how am I getting

a strike on something that didn't even

come out yet that's the thing everybody

like nobody should be getting strikes

because there's nothing to strike

because because David Romero is the

creator of this animation he has so much

evidence that he showed me I wish I

could just show it but like I said if

this doesn't get resolved then those

images could just be screenshotted and

then the person could be like oh yeah

these are mine like these are mine I I

don't want to do that to David but just

know that there's a mountain of evidence

but why is YouTube rejecting people's

appeals what information what evidence

did this person give to prove that this

was theirs because if you just do some

research on this whole thing it shows

you that this animation was David so

like I said in the very beginning of the

video I need your help everybody I need

your help get more eyes and ears on this

at YouTube like at them on Twitter let

them know that somebody's false

copyright striking Pleasant in by David

Romero and I don't want this to happen

to anybody else and like I said Cory's

video is still up and I hope it doesn't

get taken down and I hope this all gets

resolved soon and I really want to do

this for David let's just hope that you

know this can't be easily manipulated

again with these false copyright strikes
