I use AlgoMusic for all my copyright avoiding needs. My YouTube page is now a dumping ground for 6 to 10 second long shitposts and randomly generated noises made into randomly generated music. I also have a filter and overlay if I ever have to display something that's copyrighted (a WIP), and if I were to ever stream on this platform again, I have to train myself to never say the name of a copyrighted work, or just not use a mic at all.

I may seem a bit over the top about it, but I had to stop playing music at all on streams due to the Content ID system flagging my every video. Ironically, my YTP channel hasn't been bombed nearly as hard, but that's because maybe the edits are too frantic to be fully detected.


Joke's on you, Emp. I was watching this video with Nord VPN enabled.

Are you at all surprised that a link with completely nonsensical basis is a Rickroll, Absolutely Not a Russian Dictator?<br>SMH some people still not on the guard for Rolls.

Calling it now, the highest risk ones are going to be music channels that upload original music videos from movies, videogames, etc.


Do you all remember back in the day when YouTube used to be what it is until from October 2012 onward it has became a shell of it's former self. The system is on drugs and we are the ones who are stuck with it as there are no other website to replace it's popularity.

The reason why I have stopped uploading videos from Autumn 2016 is because I have been realising more about the website and how much it has changed over the years. I have returned with a new channel but only to make people happy and not YouTube by it's self because the website now is completely dejective, disdainful, stingy and doesn't give a shit of who ever is on the website unless if it's someone that plays movies or TV episodes that are copyrighted and YouTube is like best friends to Nickelodeon or other channels that has became a shell of there own former self like this fractured, trainwreck environment. Nobody ever asked for YouTube in the first place back in the 2000s only to make the world a worser place that it has become over the last 10 or 15 years.

I feel sorry for people who try their very hardest to get an audience. But at least having an audience is more achievable and should be more important than trying to be the most popular channel on this broken website.

It would be nice if somethings can go back to the good old days but that'll never happen because YouTube and whatever executive doesn't give a shit 1 bit. At least you got lots of subscribers and viewers Emperorlemon.


You can't complain about the copyright system without a plan of action to either solve the system or at least try to work with it to the best of your ability. YouTube is a unique platform with hours of content being uploaded every few seconds. You have to recognize that nobody will care if you get claimed or even striked down. I had a completely original song get taken down because a company wanted to block it for another strike which already expired.


Should be super simple. You must watch the video fully to claim a video. Sure, there are still ways around it. Sure, someone is going to upload 10 of the 10 hour videos that are just like "Everytime there is a letter E the movie repeated" things. And yes, someone will turn on the video, let it play, and walk away until it's done, just to strike it without context.  But it would be better than the system we have.


I remember a video called "10 minutes of silence" it had like 4mil views and it got deleted.

COPYRIGHTED FOR HAVING THE COLOUR WHITE ON YOUR WALLS

Ever heard of The Ballad Of Richard Nixon by John Denver?<br>It's just 10 seconds of silence.

I have to tell you, Japan's copyright law is the most repressive, even more than the EU's. Anti file sharing tools are too powerful, the law doesn't give you a non-profit defense (which is enforced in Switzerland, Spain, and Poland), the government refers copyright as a criminal offense, you face 10 years in prison (which is absolutely horrible), it is easy for the authorities to spy you on YouTube (it's worse than getting your channel terminated), and Japan-based copyright organizations could even sue you for criticizing their actions!

Even modifying consoles and rom hacking will get you jailed in Japan.


Yep. The copyright system is garbage. Yesterday, one of my older videos got blocked in the UK for using literally 10 seconds of a Pendulum song. 10 seconds.

I swear there used to be a limit on this shit, but now? Nope.

wouldn’t it be great if companies get striked if they falsely claim a video, three videos and consequences will happen


The people "manually reviewing" aren't what you think they are. <br>They are reading reports from the robots and just maybe having a look at the video before clicking yes or no.

I noticed the song near the end of the video was a remix of a Gorillaz song. That is very clever and just proves your point even more. Great video my dude.


I'm positive that the Ice Mountain song that EmpLemon is currently utilizing in any of his videos is getting old. Personally, it would help if we have a more diverse soundtrack in Emp's videos.


I would be super interested in what you think of the YT strike, and union Emp.


A veces me dan ganas de llorar de lo limitada que está la libertad de expresión


I was introduced to YouTube thanks to 2011-2014 YTPs


2:40 this is a super good way to change the song props to you emp


fun fact: most YouTubers regard the song at 2:32 with nostalgia and fondness instead of hatred nowadays


How long until these companies make a song where the singer is just reading a dictionary aloud so they can claim all the videos in English?

How do you know that isn't in the works? I mean, it would be one hell of a long play (especially if it were unabridged), but they are scummy enough to try that.

So, every kind of non-Youtube company is now trying to nuke Youtubers. Sweet.


3:13 “Eventually, media companies began to realize that monetizing claimed content was  a much better option than just removing it”

removing or blocking.


Holy shit. 1 year since the video was released and nothing's changed, if not worsened. I don't make content of my own but seeing channels I follow getting copyrighted by the most absurd thing really makes me feel a bit sad and angry for them, because they not only dedicate a lot of their time and effort into creating those videos but also they often have to spend time dealing with nonsense bullshit.


Who's more aggressive?
1.UMG
2.WMG
3.SME

Answer:

They're all abusive, let's face it.

@Daniel Barbona what's worse, is Oppenheimer speech is claimed by wmg sevenged avenfold due to being present in MV

We’ll find out after the uprising at the trials. They can three-way pit fight like on Star Trek and see who lives.

@Drew Insur That group called Uniao brasileira do editoras do musica, those thug bastards claims ID every song that is on YouTube, even copyright videogame music like Final Fantasy, which is already property of another music company, so those disgusting bastard straight up stole the music. I'm even thinking that this editorial doesn't exist at all.

@Sam MaxGoof I'd love to too, but there's a risk of these companies refusing to publish anything on YT and just push everything on shitty alternatives instead.

That brazilian group,.even has videogame music ID claimed.


They are an evil company, and we are all stuck.


I've seen people compose their own music only for it to get claimed by someone else. Disgusting.


This video is inaccurate, the only copyright claim I've ever received was on a 3 second video of literally nothing. I got a strike and everything, hellsite.


Tooltip: There is no such thing as something that's too big to fail.

EVERYTHING falls to time.


Was your clip of WWE content fair use? If so, that would have been a much stronger argument to present. If not, there's really no grounds for complaint. Your personal opinion that your use of the copyrighted work was beneficial to the rights holder carries no weight if they disagree.


With Fantano's content, not using the music also forces you to go listen to the music yourself, which can be good.


Can't believe we're still talking about fair use on YouTube in 2022.


If content ID can detect where the copyrighted content starts and ends, why don't they just calculate what percentage of the content is copyrighted material, and take that percentage of your video earnings? Seems pretty trivial to implement, and fair for both parties.. Well, <b>too fair</b> for the little guy.

I have a problem with this.
My channel, (not this one im posting with) is about to come out with a long serious of many videos in which I'm translating foreign language music into English.
Do the creators care? No.
Do they care they're breaking the law? No.
Do they care they'd get more advertising if they just left off? No.
Are they humans deserving of human rights? pfffffffffffff. No, of course not!

Oh yeah, forgot to mention, they're not demonetising my videos<br>They're deleting them.

That spiral thing in the beginning is the most painful thing I’ve ever seen on YouTube.


That AEW shout out made me smile greatly.


What about the stuff that jim sterling used to do? Use all the copyrights so when multiple companies claim the revenue, no one gets the money, because it can't be split between multiple claimants. Does that still work?


Y'all should get a class action against YouTube itself


With so much copyright claim, I feel proud that I am gonna watch now The Mandalorian's episode 3 illegaly downloaded trough The Pirate Bay website. Bye.


There's a "group"(?) called "The Orchard Music" that have copyright claimed a few songs that have nothing to do with them, and are essentially public domain because they were never released in a for-profit, or label manner. Watch out.


Is one of the secret forbidden copyright techniques turning the simpsons green?

No that just means that they have entered combat with an enemy stand


i once had an independent wrestling promotion copyright strike a music video i made out of one of the matches they booked. Not a major promotion like WWE, but a MINOR LEAGUE INDY PROMOTION. I traded emails back and forth with them saying that how it benefited them and they just said "well we'd rather do it ourselves." They might as well have said "thanks for buying our show, but fuck you." so it's not just a problem with big corporate entities.


14:16 “the transformers”, I believed that ytpmv (youtube poop music videos) are on there. I really hope it is less at risk than regular ytp of recent movies since some of them are quite good.


Wow, this video wasn't recommended to me at all even though I watch and like everything you make


I can't believe we're still talking about YouTube copyright in 2057 😆


Please keep using the smash ultimate library as background music.

Awsome choice.

Daelin "Zeppi" Zeppeli (TheInsaneComputerGamer)


I wouldn't say bootleggers are at the highest risk; they somehow seem to get fewer claims and strikes


Easy solution to all of this: use copyrighted stuff and then when you get flagged just appeal the unlawful strike. Ez.


I can't wait to see YTPs in a few decades. If the world hasn't abandoned YouTube by then.


How to avoid youtube copyright : Colorize your videos like JoJo's Bizzare Adventure
Yellow skin : Demonetized
Green skin : Monetized

How to avoid youtube copyright : _Colorize your videos like _*_JoJo's Bizzare Adventure_*

No good. Viz Media owns the rights to JoJo's Bizarre Adventure in the U.S and they're stingy with copyright as they took down Sailor Moon Reanimated twice. You might get your video mistaken for a JoJo clip.

Just fucking play Jotaro’s theme already

@Random Internet User He does? no dignity

I think the sjw jokes speak for themselves

@Ovidiu Toma somehow, Emplemon hates/dislike JoJo, But in the same time, He uses JoJo's color technique

<b>So that's why the Simpsons are green</b>

@Erik-Hans Eisenheber No sweat!  It's done when the mood is appropriate so it doesn't stick out too much in your mind.

@Dimwiddy Ohhhh of course. I can't believe I forgot that was a thing.

@Erik-Hans Eisenheber It's a reference to how the characters are given vastly different colors on their outfits for certain scenes in the anime as well as most promotional drawings and album covers for the manga.

What does that have to do with JoJo? Am I missing something from parts 6-8?


This video is great, especially the part about the WWE video is hilarious


I usually just memorize the max length that the claim doesn't occur as a strike when uploading CN clips


A Swedish rapper tried to claim my own voice. No music! Just my  voice!


I hope we get an alternative to YouTube that's not cancer. That way we can go over there. If they wanted to do this right they would have someone at YouTube look at the claim for you either before or when appealing. They're just lazy and don't want to hire people to do it.


Sir you took several breaths which has been copyrighted by Nature and trees

I am the Lorax I speak for the trees. Now give me your revenue if you please!


I can't believe EmpLemon called  YTP a genre


17:05 and this is why Youtube corporate probably agreed to make these rules with the government smh


What about only uploading public domain content, or at least concent with a Creative Commons license?


I watched part 2 before this because this didn't show up in my notifications even though I have your channel set to send all notifications to me. I dislike YouTube so much.


Figured it was about time for you to show up and tear Youtube another asshole. Always great to see you in the sub box, Hoss.


genuinly laughed out loud at that sponsorship


Fair use (as you said in the video at 11:05) is a DEFENSE. You can only use it when a copyright claim has happened. It's the same for stuff off youtube as well. You can't use "It's fair use" before a copyright claim happened.


when i did youtube i noticed that if you use more than like 15 secs of copyright stuff you'll get copyright claimed thats why i used to cut copyright stuff around 10 or less secs


In a couple of years from now <br>YouTube will eventually die as a platform a new platform will rise from the grave

In a couple of years from now

Imagine having your career and livelihood depend on Youtube

i hope everyone being demonitized makes a split happen. those who are passionate will keep making videos, maybe allow fans to donate directly. those who just want money will perish or leave for a shitty paid platform


Can a collective group organize against a single entity to appeal against an unlawful claim? "We 10,000+ (or so) youtubers who have been victims of evident unlawful copyright claims vote against [COMPANY] so that they are penalized and have their copyright infringement accusation rights removed for the following year"? Sounds weird but something along the lines of that. There HAS to be something we can all do together that at least serves as disciplinary action against an entire company for irresponsible using their power.


"If you're looking for evidence that we're living in a clown society, keep watching my videos."


I had two channels be taken down for making YTP and uploading some gameplay from a rhythm game.


General knowledge: mumbos case for copyright strike, was technically not mumbo's or YouTube's fault as the music he used was copyrighted and the person who gave permission to mumbo didn't actually have permission to do that and therefore Mumbo was using copyrighted music


<b>This comment is no longer available due to a copyright claim from WMG.</b>

*This comment is no longer available due to a copyright claim from WMG.*


Why don't people just upload a video completely composed of the raw material (footage/music) they intend to use in a real video to test the Content ID system and use only half of the material that gets detected by the system as copyrighted? If it gets marked when raw, it could possibly be marked when edited, too. That way, you can control how much of your revenue is yours and how much time you spend editing a video.


Aew has been hitting just about every yt creator that mentions them with a copyright claim...they even accidentally struck one of there own videos..not to mention dynamite just straight sucks


Just like most people, I'm not really one to spend the time to write a comment on a video--I consume the content I decide is worth my time and I get on with my life.
But you've compelled me to comment here, if only in some vain attempt to reach a creator that has managed to leave a bigger impact on me in the meager handful of days I've been perusing your channel than most I've come to watch regularly on this site for the past several years of my life.

While I haven't dug into every single video and every single story on this channel, its content (particularly the more contemporary commentary videos) has presented me with such a compelling and thoroughly internally consistent experience as a new viewer that I just have to follow it up myself somehow. The downward spiral has claimed another victim, and it's been a hell of ride so far. Especially dipping my toes into your old poops, since I'm a huge fan of YTPs (Captain Duckturd is my current favorite YTPer, can't wait for new stuff from him). I'm a bit saddened that you've essentially closed the book on your YTP antics, but that's pretty understandable given all the shit that went flying after a while when you did.

What I really wanted to talk about, though, is the strange position you hold in the YouTube landscape and the shockingly unique personality that you've become on this site.
The first video to sneak me into this channel was, unsurprisingly, your newest one: this one. I watched it the day it came out, and the memes you invoked in it intrigued me to say the least. I knew there was more to the downward spiral, your editing style, and visual source material. It all comes together to create something capable of causing culture shock, honestly. That includes the stellar music choice for all of the videos I've watched so far.

You've been effectively sitting out of this game called YouTube for years now, and it's given you and, by extension, your viewers an incredibly interesting perspective on the events that came and went over these past years on YouTube. You've had the opportunity to experience, spectate, and dissect the many baffling things that have gripped this site and its users. Seeing the events that I saw from afar as what's best described as a YouTube lurker, I was totally disconnected and unable to really grasp their contexts and finer nuances. The semi-jaded, cynical lens that your channel expresses itself through is something entirely new to me. And that combined with your eagerness to interact with others and to operate constructively despite the coarse language you tend to employ was frankly enough to force my hand in hitting the un-unsubscribe button.

I'm looking forward to your upcoming videos, and the continuation of the epic saga of the downward spiral.


It was fun watching your videos, but it's gotten tiring.<br>One sub goes away, but another will take its place...

Speaking of aew, they had the same problem wwe had when claiming videos, turns out both systems are automated and when a large YouTube created actually reached out to aew, they redid the system and stoped claiming all the videos they had falsely flagged..wwe has not done the same


Youtube Content ID. Many vloggers dub copyrighted music in other footages, to avoid this terrible system.


Hey Emp, will we ever see a return of Minute Memes? I'm not demanding content more often, just wondering if you've abandoned the project in favor of these more large scale edits instead.


Hey Emp sorry you have meta in your title
Many people have copyrighted meta so pay up

(Hey Emp love your videos btw, after you finish this can you talk about Instagram normies stealing memes?)


You ever think that youtube allows a select group to make large amounts of money as a way to convince creators to make content that will be claimed "for no reason" by the very companies andorganizations that make youtube its money


Nah. The Bootleggers are called the Pirates. Pirating is illegally downloading something. Bootlegging is making their own something with a copyrighted thing without the owner of the copyrighted thing's permission.


I like how this struggle between good and evil forces content creators to push the boundaries. They'll evolve and survive. <br>The only downside is that old videos might dissapear entirely when we die. Like two armies fighting in historic ruins only to have the ruins completely destroyed. Gone forever.

Comedy sketches and animations that don't use copyrighted music or characters can also count as Mr. Clean


Nobody:
Emplemon:"I'm Tired of these phony motherfucking copyright claims on this motherfucking website!"

Gets demonitized by New Line Cinema for using a transformative line of dialogue that they shouldn't even be able to strike due to legal reasons but Youtube still get money so they dont care.


Jeorge Sparve is your guy, my dude. He and his union are suing YouTube for this and it's due to take place on October 22nd. Look at his channel for details. He's the Slingshot channel.


This is the more accurate to reality take I've seen. Awesome research and editing!


0:34 Didn't that end up being his outro music using copyrighted samples?


This video never showed up in my subscriptions. Found it by accident more than a week later. Thanks youtube.


After rewatching the video I now understand why the 2nd part was blocked


i remember getting striked for using a german marching song in one of my videos. the song was "Drei Lilien"


Youtuber: Breathes

UMG: Stay out of my territory.

Youtuber: *Breathes*

UMG: Stay out of my territory.


If you do a rearrangement of a song its completely fine. I have some on my channel and they are 100% legally owned by me, even tho their is some music from Zelda for example. (feel free to use them as u wish, crediting me would be great)


I think Youtube should just stop giving corporations the option to make money of someones video entirely. The only reason why coypright claims are such an issue is that at the moment is because corporations have absolutely no incentive not to copyright claim videos. With trailer reactions for example, production studios simply get the best deal possible when claiming fraudulently: free advertising for their product AND free money from the videos.

I think that if they didn't have the option to make money off of these, they would just leave the videos up because deep down they really don't care about the infringement and understand the videos are free advertising. It's just that they're leaving money on the table if they don't claim the video.

And maybe at first we'd see an increase in videos getting blocked, but if there's no money in it, why would a company spend thousands of dollars trying to remove content that is based in fair use and on top of that passively benefiting them? Additionally to this system, Youtube should allow Youtubers to edit out the copyrighted material (it was in the news a while ago that this is possible for clips under a certain length, but I don't know how this turned out) and reupload and remonetize the video.

In my opinion Youtubers should also get some sort of protection from copyright claims at a certain subscriber milestone (somewhere in the range of 200,000-500,000 subs maybe). At this point the Youtuber is expected to be a legit content creator who's livelihood likely depends on his channel, and it should become impossible to take down their videos from then on. If a company still takes issue with a certain video, they'd have to fill out a form or something (it should be as annoying a process as possible) and send it to the youtuber. They then get to decide themselves if they want to edit the content out or want to dismiss the claim. If the company still thinks they're in the right, Youtube themselves should have someone look at the video and determine if the video needs to be taken down.

That last thing is very unlikely, because Youtube (understandably) doesn't want any responsibility regarding copyright. It would open them up to lawsuits after all. Still, I see no reason why they can't just stop giving companies the ability to make money off of someone else's work.

Also, ads should just have a small disclaimer on them saying something like ''this ad is based on your preferences and was put here by an algorithm''. ''It is not an endorsement of the content/creator you're about to watch''. Voila, now every video can be monitized again, because companies wouldn't have to worry about appearing in front of controversial content! It would be the end of demonitization! I'm a genius!


Can we get... hundreds upon thousands of youtubers to rise up and sue these companies for being little...
hm. if i curse then the video could get demonetized.
You get what I mean. Everyone should band together and take down the companies holding youtubers back.
Like the Area 51 raid, but people would actually do stuff.


Where do you categorize the guy, that streamed a pay tv boxing match, on Twitch, while pretending with a controller in his hand, to play the boxing game?


If you're not aiming to be supported by ads, try the Copyright Deadlock! Infringe on as much copyright from as many different sources as you want because if two or more copyright  holders try to claim one video no one gets the money! Companies dont even check to see if they claimed something so it'll just be deadlocked forever. So if that sounds great, do it, and thank God for Jim Sterling


I lost some of my best content  and a whole channel to copyright


its funny because youtube poops fall under parody law and therefore should be entirely legal

Was this video monetized? Just wanna know if the Media fell into your trap ;)


Such a good sponsored segment I didn't even skip

Your probably incredibly lucky Disney’s copyright bots don’t realize the color shifted Simpsons.


When you used the devil's staircase as background music I knew it was gonna be good


I wonder what Emp has to say about the newest problem of YouTube and the possible nail in the coffin. You people probably know what I'm refering to


I wonder were the copyright deadlock fall on the spectrum.


Meme makers are in no mans land. Lost a channel that made 6k in 2 months. Now only got 1k on this new one. I’d say we’re in the middle


YTPs pretty much always go directly in the fire, unfortunately unless they’re using the most obscure of sources. I’m not a youtuber by any stretch of the imagination, but even my shitty YTPs are blocked in more countries than Orwell’s 1984 is (thanks, Vince MacMahon....)


Haha, can't say I've ever heard Emerson Lake & Palmer as background music in a YouTube video.


Im waiting for the year when an billionaire super skilled advocate gets his terraria lets play claimed and he uses all media companys for a trillion dollars and they make a deal with him promising not to claim any fair use or transformative video


Good thing Simpsons are nearly old enough the be public domain.

@Shape Shifting The Mouse is also close to being public domain, but we'll see how Disney shapes the copyright laws this time to avoid that happening.

<b>LET'S CALL DALE'S DEADBUG TO EXTERMINATE THE MOUSE</b>

*LET'S CALL DALE'S DEADBUG TO EXTERMINATE THE MOUSE*

Copyright last an inordinate length now, because of Disney. The simpsons won't be free for decades, and I doubt the mouse won't try to lobby again.

Tiberius Magnificus Caeser<br>Even if they were all dead, Maus would buy senators steak dinners to keep it for all eternity

Tiberius Magnificus Caeser
Even if they were all dead, Maus would buy senators steak dinners to keep it for all eternity

Copyright is the lifetime of the author plus 70 years. The Simpsons came out in the late 80s(far less than 70 years ago) and last I checked, most all of its creators were still around, so I severely doubt that claim

@Shape Shifting A long as the mauuss (c) has that show on life support

@Shape Shifting The mouse is the big cheese here

They have like 35 years still dont they?

Remember when the recommended videos on the right would actually show more videos related to the video you just watched? Instead of showing you your entire Recommended section from the front page like it does now. Those were good times. Times when I could actually find new videos.


"Do you know the Tragedy of Darth Lemon the Emperor? Its not a story the Youtube copyright system would let you view."


Am I crazy, or was this video uploaded a while before September 21 2019 (which is what the description lists the upload date as)? Did EmpLemon take it down or make it private, and then put it back up?


When you watch this video for the third time and realize behind the mask plays <3


Yeah bruh TheFatRat is like my favourite artist I have no idea how somebody copyright claimed his own song

If rusty cage can be told he's not rusty cage by twitter because he took the piss out of a cheese company, anything can happen.


You raised such an interesting point that I hadn't even considered. So many people got into youtube, me included, so we could watch shows for free. It brought back so many memories of 'Naruto episode 10 - part 1/5' and there was always one of the parts always missing

@Plaguis <br>If you're a kid who doesn't have money and doesn't know much about the internet other than cool math games and YouTube, how would you watch shows?

@Plaguis
If you're a kid who doesn't have money and doesn't know much about the internet other than cool math games and YouTube, how would you watch shows?

...why would anyone do that? Sounds terrible. There's always been far better ways.


Oh wow, was that Simian Jimmy's doing playing during that Nord VPN ad read? Amazing AND original! 🥴


Welp

That NordVPN sponsor aged like milk


I feel like requiring the audience to be familiar with the material isn't a crutch for music review, considering the nature of the genre. It'd be pretty ridiculous to demand that the person reviewing something also deliver the thing they're reviewing.

Copyright claims being as strict as they are and not allowing for the completely legal criticism of the work can be obnoxious for a plethora of reasons, but the whole argument of Fantano's reviews "lacking context" and being "dependant on the popularity" only makes sense in a vaccum where people aren't looking to listen to any new music.


Hmm you know that youtube doesn't wanna get sued so they have this broken sytem for a reason


I remember when full movies were set at like 1.25 speed to trick the bot and the person in the description told you to set the video to play at 0.75 speed

@Alfie Edwards i remember it was like some DreamWorks animation or something...

I remember it as late as 2016 because that's how our high school english class watched "a streetcar named desire" movie. the 1.25 speed youtube rip was higher quality than the teacher's official DVD

Yeah it was like back in 2009-2010 i remember there was a lot of them.


This "i edited (cartoon) because (insert reason)" is getting out of hand. These normies are trying to normalize ytps (moat of the time they arent even good "edits" either"

We really need to address this problem because im getting sick and tired of this because i dont want something I loved as a child ruined


Okay but you really didn't have to put Fantano in the "Mr. Clean" category because of his appearance


And then there's umg copyrighting you even if you use original music


12:46 "And many of you watching now are only here because you were first introduced to this site by binging on licensed TV clips."

I don't know about that. I think the very first video I watched on YouTube was a Mortal Kombat Fatality compilation video back in 2005. This was when Google Video was still around and I would watch most of the seasons of Red vs Blue on it.


we're sorry, your video has been handed over to: "YouTube" as all revenue will go to them, this is due to the fact that you uploaded this on "YouTube" :/


0:38
“You wouldn’t copyright claim my content would you Brendan?”
“Oh fer sure my guy one hundurd percent”


i used to just changed the filter of a video or pitch the audio of a song but now it’s crazy.


How 2 win:
Create Smurf company

Upload each video you're about to upload to content id

Upload video

Claim it

Get revenue even if your not monetized

If that actually happens, YOUTUBE WILL SHART ITSELF SILLY!<br>XD

If that actually happens, YOUTUBE WILL SHART ITSELF SILLY!
XD

This actually has me thinking, I think someone should do a video on this.


Claimant: Hey! That's mine!
Creator: Fine! Own my hot piece of garbage! Hope you can stand the smell!
Claimant: On second thought, this should be thrown away...
Creator: Then give it back. Why'd you take it in the first place?
Claimant: Cause we're greedy.


You can get away with it if you distort the video and audio.


WWE either hired a third party company, or they don't see any videos with their content as beneficial - they want everyone going to them for their content, no matter how small the part they want to see is.


13:05 I could've gone my entire life without seeing that.

I remember seeing that in a random Minecraft channel. Why people would use this <del>let alone make this</del> is beyond me.

@An Easy-Bake Oven I'm scared of what the future generation of kids will be like on the internet


i hope everyone being demonitized makes a split happen. those who are passionate will keep making videos, maybe allow fans to donate directly. those who just want money will perish or leave for a shitty paid platform


I rarely have problems with copyright :)


Not just Youtube, Google has always been like this.
Not only does it disregard fair use on youtube, they tend to think themselves above the law by treating DMCA laws in a very one side (and likely deliberate) way.
In that they will comply with DMCA notices with haste, as they are obligated to do, but tend to ignore or decide not to act on counter-DMCA notices (which is strange, seeing as major media companies can file these too).
In fact, they literally responded to a counter-DMCA notice of a website I'm using with "we have decided not to respond" which is absolutely not legal.


Also not to mention the bogus corporations that will copyright claim what legitimately isn't theirs BUT it's on content that's been live for around 6+ years. That means people have been sent to scout out for potential victims to YouTube's rubbish system in the hopes of earning some quick revenue. By the Get-Rich-Quick God is it profitable too.

Maybe the cold....lettuce....


I'm actually conflicted on Content ID, on one hand, it's one of the only ways a person like myself with the word "Bastard" in their fucking channel title could ever hope to make money from their own videos. On the other hand, it basically gives massive companies free reign to fuck people over and shuts anyone else out of using it unless they become a big company.


According to these big corporations fair <br>use doesn’t exist

According to these big corporations fair
use doesn’t exist


Besides taking wwII footage from a documentary and mixing it with some catchy pop songs. I would I admit it would amuse me.


oh... if only youtube didn't become so embezzled with corporations........ what a dark age we live in


Just preemptively make your own claim on your own video as soon as you upload. Sorted.


Legitimately couldn’t tell if this was a YTP or not, from that opening..


Loving the use pf “We Are the Happy Landfill” during the no mans land section


"I can't wait to see AEW this October on TNT".  LOL.  Very funny!!!!


I actually uploaded the entirety of saw 3 on my channel. still hasn't been claimed. Just blocked in some country


In the time between your last upload and now, I finished all of Persona 5. Thanks for the lil surprise:)


So is this a clue that he should burn the content ID system to the ground?


Don't forget this: One of Vinny's VoDs was Copyright Claimed FOR CRICKET SOUNDS

Thankfully it doesn't exist anymore


Something I've slowly been realizing is that the internet has, ironically, made it more likely than ever that noteworthy media vanishes forever.

Original Youtube content is remarkably ephemeral, between copyright claims of varying bogusness and the occasional creator breakdown followed by mass deletion of videos.

Streaming services for TV and movies are constantly swapping who owns the rights to what, while driving down the demand for physical releases, meaning something could very easily vanish off the net and not have a physical version anywhere.

And the general attitudes of digital media companies does not leave me with any faith that if, say, that book I just bought on Kindle were to get wiped from their servers in a freak accident, that Amazon would do anything to get it back or compensate me.

I've started to become a media hoarder. Do I wanna watch a TV show? I'll buy the DVD or Blu-Ray, and if I can't I'll pirate it and keep it on a hard drive, safe and sound where no one can go "Netflix has the rights. No wait, Hulu has the rights. No wait, Amazon has the rights." I don't use Spotify, I purchase Mp3s from Google Play and iTunes, and keep them on SD cards, because I no longer have faith that the music I like will be there tomorrow.

I'm seriously worried that one day, 30 years from now, I won't be able to enjoy the media I like now, even though it's no problem for me to go out and buy a copy of basically anything major from 30 years ago now.

This is why we must all buy physical media - BluRays, because we won't be able to own media any more.

@Nel Zelpher I mean, Mp3 files are a fairly safe bet. You can just copy them onto spare hard drives, SD cards, flash drives, etc. A 64gb flash drive will run like $15 USD, and can hold enough music that you could play music nonstop for a week and never repeat a song. You can make a spare copy, keep it in a storage locker or at a family member's house or something, and have a backup. And since it's standardized computer file with a non-proprietary format, it should still work on any computer made after the early 2000s. Assuming you'll live a full life and die sometime in the 2090s, you'll still be able to either play Mp3s on whatever sort of computer we use then, or be able to get a second or third year computer science student to program an Mp3 player in exchange for a case of beer.

If you're a part of the very small crowd who can, in fact, tell the difference between an Mp3 and high quality vinyl records, there are other computer formats. Look into lossless audio compression. Downside is that lossless formats require a lot more space.

After that, well, it gets tricky. CDs are easy to burn with a computer with a CD drive, but are easy to scratch up. Cassette tapes are bulky and wear out with enough use. Not to mention, tape decks aren't mass-produced like they used to be, and have a lot of moving parts that will eventually break. Vinyl records are even bulkier than cassettes, can get scratched, and require specialized equipment to copy.

I need advice how to start saving physical music copies and devices to play them. I was born in '99 and am unfamiliar with this technology.

Avex blocked Initial d stuff after 12 yrs afaik. It exists since 2006.

You too huh? I fear the day when we will no longer be able to own music. Instead just permission to play it. Scary eh? I've been saving up mp3 and cds too. Need to get a hard drive soon.

Exactly why I'm worried about this new digital era we seem to be slowly ushering into.


when you get copyright claimed, if you can afford to sue, sue youtube.


I like how you suggest that copyright infringement is the only way to not make your content "bland, repetitive and unengaging for new viewers."


Oh, that’s where the Spongbob Saw parodies came from. YouTube poop-ers has scarred me in my mid to late childhood.

An 2D slide show of  drawings of spongebob, Patrick and two random guys with the ending similar to the first saw movie, just with Patrick slicing his neck open with a knife.

And I used to wonder how I got fucked up. (Sarcasm)


If you are trying to monetize your videos then you are pretty much going to get canned if it has someone elses content its been in the laws for a long time if you dont monetize the videos they just dont really do anything you are protected under fair use laws


I disagree that some YouTubers would be better using copyrighted stuff. I see when people use copyrighted outside of reviews as cheap and just not good at art themselves and have to steal it.


There are ways to do some gaming content as an example while being "Mr.Clean". The way I do it is by strictly recording all of my own gameplay and in-game soundtracks myself and using that material alone. Instead of a song in the backround - well it's still a song but just the in-game soundtrack.

Some games that you can pull this off easily - FoRtNiTe, upcoming Crab Champions or CSGO (record an music kit). With those three, thanks to the wide selection of songs (and great ones may I add) so you can use different tracks for different videos AND all 3 allow unique gameplay, due to they're built like that.


I want Part 2 right now! I have HAD IT WITH NOT WATCHING IT RIGHT AWAY!


3:02 and thus, youtubes downward spiral was born.


Mr Clean and Cold Turkey aren't really that safe. Even if you make your own content, someone could parody or remix that content, then file a false claim against you which you may have to go to court to resolve.


Youtube been real quiet since this diss track got dropped

Oh wait, no it hasn’t. 😒

12:50 nah, just looked up games and 6 yo self thought a youtube video was a game. Turns out it was an LP. Man do I miss 2010 Youtube


I've officially decided to copyright the number "13". Anyone who uses that number is gonna get sued for all the money on the planet.


You probably wont read this but I recently had my YouTube channel of 200 subs terminated. I tried to get the termination appealed but nothing has happened so far. I have no evidence to back up my innocence. What would you suggest?


Family guy made a copy of a youtube clip that was popular- in one of their episodes.

Not long after, the original youtube clip had to be taken down because of a copyright claim.

(Don't worry though, it got brought back later)

Also, I agree with you guy, but you switched from an in depth explanation into an emotional venting clip. Which is...weird.


YouTuber: breathes
VIACOM: hippity hoppity, I shall destroy your hopes and dreams

YouTuber: *breathes*

But that doesn’t even rhym—
Viacom: <SLAP> 👋  REBUTTALS ARE COPYRIGHTED TOO

But that doesn’t even rhym—

The long and short of it: YouTube is for corporate entities and people who (literally) sell their dignity to make mindless, repetitive content that makes a lot of money.


Soon we may need to get out of the spiral


I feel you too<br>3 of my videos on 5-Minute Crafts got taken down by copyright.

Boi they gonna add counter measures for part 2, you feeding em ):


2:30 minutes in and we get our first mention of YouTube poop. Never change.


Hot Take: Ronald McDonald is hella thicc


Bruh I cannot freaking breathe this is the best video ever made


some dumb things ive seen happen with youtubes copyright system include
guy 1 gets permission from guy 2 to use their music, still gets claimed
guy 3 uploads 10 seconds of complete black (title was "read description") gets claimed by guy 4 since their song has a part with no sound
guy 5 has the power to (luckily didnt use it) claim basically any video with the japanese intro cutscene of ocarina of time
guy 6 gets striked by wbm when he used music from mario
guy 7 gets striked by guy 8 because of differing political opinions
guy 9 gets claimed by sony for uploading his own music
guy 10 gets claimed 30 times by sony in the span of less than a minute for using nothing
guy 11 gets striked for using audio that was used by guy 12 in a remix 10 months later
guy 12 gets ALL his videos claimed by disney when he as far as i know has never done anything at all related to disney
and finally
guy 13 gets his channel taken down after 4 years for using 2 seconds of a clip in one video thanks disney again

did i mention that animal rights groups are going after google for using monkeys to do work because people were saying their bots are horrible and so they use monkeys instead for certain things which is where the "highly trained monkeys" message comes from so this whole time they have been using monkeys for most of the work


I Didn't get this in my sub feed or recommended, I got it from part 2's link, SMH youtube this is a good video


I cannot fathom how so many Youtubers are still so Capitalist, even after <b>all the crap</b> Capitalism does to them. Copyright abuse isn't a bug of the system; it's a feature.

I'm finding it harder and harder to stay on youtube. Not as a creator, but just as a viewer. A lot of my fav youtubers have been moving off of YouTube onto private websights. and I fully support them. Most requir<br>e me to pay like 3 bucks a month, but I'm totally fine supporting them that way.

Waiting for part 2 for over a month, also how that nordvpn sponsor working out for you :P

@Deley18 Nah, it's gonna be shadow legends

I'm gonna bet Part 2 is going to be sponsored by ExpressVPN, since Nord is now likely a lost cause.


I used to make music. Terrible music, albeit, but it was music I made. Don't think I ever made a dime off it, and I think I had it up for something like 4-5 years or so, even after the point where I was no longer proud of it.

But I'll be damned if I didn't dispute the copyright claim the bitch that claimed my song as their own. I must have gotten lucky or something since my dispute was upheld. But yeah, this was probably about 2013 or so, and the fact that it's happening on bigger creators who make actually good music... I couldn't even imagine being in that situation. I'd lose my shit.

Are you talking about another comment you left or a video essay? Bc in my experience people usually don't read long comments, long comments will sometimes be top comment, but they're just one essay out of hundreds. If you make that into a video or podcast, you're way more likely to get a response

Almost two years in, are you still watching AEW? If so, what’re your thoughts on the promotion?


Please make a video where you just rant as Joker Emp about society for an hour.


Can't believe we still care about Fair Use in 2020.


Corporations being corporation, dont ya love it


That is the best sponsored promotion ive seen in a video


Just use the pro strategy by The Original Ace: Copyright claim your own video


11:23 Actually tho go watch MauLer. He's a really good channel and makes extensive high-quality uploads. He deserves to be more popular-just like EmpLemon here.


Every youtuber in the universe: get nordVPN


Honestly, this is why YouTubers need to form a legal defense collective.  Something like an insurance fund for legal fees, where you buy in for legal protection from greedy and overzealous media conglomerates infringing on all of our rights.  The music reviewer who can't play clips of something that he should be legally entitled to use is one of the most heartbreaking and disgusting things I've ever seen.  The government isn't going to change any of these laws, I think it's time to start lawyering up and suing some of these companies into compliance with, you know, the fucking explicit letter of the law.  I'm so sick of this myth that's been spread around that fair use is this murky and ill defined thing, when in many cases it just simply isn't I'll defined at all.  Education and critique are very, very explicitly protected parts of free speech, but these are always the aspects that the misinformation floating around always tries to claim is poorly tested in court, when this is just not true.  Criticism, especially, is one of the most consistently upheld aspects of fair use in American copyright law, since attempting to use the courts in a way that even kind of smells like an attempt to censor detracting speech is generally met with open scorn by judges and there are oodles of examples of companies and people having their cases dismissed with prejudice and getting the entire bookcase hucked through their heads for trying it.

Side note: I love it when judges get really fired up and shred someone who deserves it to pieces.  I think it's just a satisfying mix of righteous anger being doled out by someone who's probably the smartest person in the room and who also has a lot of power and authority and you're not the one being hit by the death laser.  It's like the grown up version of watching the teacher yell at that kid who you just fucking hate when they really deserve it (double fun if you were doing the exact same thing but just narrowly avoided being seen doing it.)

So wait. Is that why you made the Simpsons green to get around the copyright system if so that is genius.


YouTube has been in such a downward spiral since 2016. ❌ 🧢.

2014 was even we all died and went to hell

Only now, have we been able to manage building our own torturous paradise.

It was going down the shitter way before 2016, people didn't notice/didn't care.

First Name Last Name my favorite year I’ve lived through. It was so full of hilarity


Just like you,I only want MY content to be seen


The Kurzgesagt example though is actually an example where not using any copyrighted content actually improved the content. You can always spot a Kurzgesagt video on the music alone, and having the ability to just compose your own music allows you to create a song for a specific purpose, which can significantly improve the effect it has. And having it to where you can also adjust the animation to the music you made can give an extremely good impression. It also makes your videos extremely unique, because there is quite literally no other channel with the same exact music and animation. All of these good qualities are best shown in my favorite Kurzgesagt video "the limits of humanity"

But the main issue is that even though it can be beneficial for large channels with several million subscribers like Kurzgesagt, smaller channels simply do not have the assets to achieve this. They dont have teams of animators, researchers, directors, artist, and composers. This is also shown by the fact that even though the Kurzgesagt team has quite a few people and gets ton of professional help, they only upload once every couple weeks. And small channels simply cant do that unless they are corporately funded.


Hey emp, I was in the ytp game back in the day and remember when you were small time, my account was squidwong really small. Remember cartoonlpver98? Whatever happened to that guy


YOUTUBE HAS BEEN ON A DOWNWARD SPIRAL DOWNWARD SPIRAL HASN’T STOPPED SINCE 2016


Companies who sponsor youtubers directly are really hot and are what's supporting true and uncensored content


Holy shit the nostalgia shot I got when I read your name


Emplemon, the ftc are making it where videos that appeal to children cannot be seeable, isn't recommended or suggested and hits you with a	$42,000 fine, per video.


So you're saying they're stealing from you? Boycott them and make your own youtube.


The G&W sound effects made me feel so strange


You're not going to get legal copyright problems with animation or music unless you really go out of your way to copy something lol It needs to have a pretty obvious likeness to get any kind of legal grounds... They'd even get a load of crap to deal with...

"If you send a cease-and-desist letter to an infringer, there is a risk that the infringer may file a lawsuit in the infringer’s jurisdiction naming you as a defendant and seeking a declaratory judgment that your copyright is invalid. One recent court decision found that the sending of a single cease-and-desist letter into the state was enough to subject the defendant to personal jurisdiction in that state.

If you send a DMCA takedown notice that is both false and meant in bad faith (such as to harass, or doesn’t state a real claim), you have committed perjury. Though unlikely, if the party you sent the takedown notice to decided to pursue this in court, you could face all of the consequences that your state imposes on people who lie in court.

If you sue someone for copyright infringement in an attempt to harass that person and you lose because there was no infringement, the attorneys’ fees provisions may take effect, and you may be forced to pay the other side’s lawyer’s fees"

There may never ever be a sequel to this video


12:30 i remember when the yt icon was a TV, and being able to watch a whole pokémon movie


Oh dear, 21 minutes only being a part 1. Let's see what Emp has in store for us


I think some of these bootleggers are actually fans of the movie/show they are uploading, & they probably are doing so because they know it'll be the only way to watch it later on.

For example, there is this show called Captain Simian And the Space Monkeys which has seemingly never gotten a home media release(in the USA at least, apparently France got a VHS release of the 1st episode), & is no longer airing on any channel at all. So what are people going to do other than just upload full episodes onto YouTube? Heck, the copyright holders of that show don't seem to even CARE about the fact that they are uploading entire episodes unedited.


<b>We live in the age of entitlement and outrage. I just hope this garbage dies down by the time I'm in my 40's.</b>

*We live in the age of entitlement and outrage. I just hope this garbage dies down by the time I'm in my 40's.*


Big companies are ran by people who are completely out of touch with reality and still live in the era before Youtube, so it doesn't matter whether claiming or taking down the video makes sense or not.

They don't understand that it's free advertising. They don't understand that they could just upload their stuff to Youtube and earn a shit ton of money. Well, at least most companies are like that. Gaming companies (especially SEGA) seem to get that at least partially. They even uploaded some of their songs to the official Sonic channel and let their marketing team do bi-weekly livestreams. It works great for marketing.

I also want to add that I got introduced to the Sonic franchise through fangames and videos and will propably stay with it for the rest of my life because of how good their music is. Hell, I might even buy some of that music despite it being available on Youtube, just like I did with Minecraft after years of using a cracked launcher.

My point is, companies are dumb and fan content is free marketing.


The HungryBox video is what brought me in, but this is the video that made me sub. You rock.


My question to everyone who watched through the whole video: Did you just watch an episode of Simpsons just then?

I rest my case.


I got a vid yoinked because it had "funky town" in the title. I literally danced to no music. That was the joke. I knew they would pull some bullshit.

god bless the bootleggers.

Bootleg something off them. Then claim their video first.


you tubers should just all get together and sue youtube for all of the lost revanue, thats like billions of dollars from false claims


Sometimes it feels like you grab the music for your videos from a music folder identical to mine.


Hey, Emp. Regarding the subject matter, I messaged you about this before but did you know your YouTube Poop (particularly “Lightning McQueer & The Quest For Tires”) is blocked by SME because of copyright © and what are you going to do about it? Also, what happened to your “Drake & Josh YouTube Poop Collaboration?”


EmpLemon sounds just enough like Christian Slater to give me Mr. Robot flashbacks with his ending section.


What software do you use for making your videos?


Still waiting for the day Revenge gets taken down for copyright. Because let’s face it, not even that would be safe by now.

I mean, that already happened in 2016, so I hope it won’t do it again... hopefully...


I made a review of nascar vs f1 and I was praising f1 and shitting on nascar and fucking liberty media took down my video over a minute of a highlight clip i used for a background that I even sped up.

It's why I ultimately gave up trying to make content. It had 3k views which to me is like a 1M to big youtubers and it had a lot of interaction. It fucking infuriates me that YouTube allows this shit to happen

The video that could've launched my channel fucking dead in the waters.


Me a new sub here, is it just me or does YouTube crash/closes on all of the video that are slightly controversial. Happened twice one you. Maybe its just me but still its worrisome.


The 2 videos i got a claim are just demonetized which i couldn't give a shit about (one was blocked in one country), i upload videos for entertainment to others and friends, i'm kinda nervous to upload the next video since its a ytpmv with a copyrighted song. So i'm a transformer by the way.


Oversimplified and Emplemon upload in the same day!? It’s a Saturday miracle!!


Enough is enough, still the best poop ever concieved imho.


I like the persona music, keep up the great work!


Well YouTube definitely doesn't have this video in my sub box.... hmmmmmmm


youtube algorithm aboutta watch your next video and learn all the secrets


i cant believe you left out 009 Sound System - Dreamscape
, unbelievable


Just make a youtube channel upload some stuff Copyright the stuff then put them In your videos and if it get's clamed you can get 90% of the revenue if you only have 9 alt accounts with stuf that make you able to claim your own videos atleast that's what the original Ace says In his abusing the youtube Copyright sydtrm


Youtube cancelled the partner of my whole channel because I made Source Filmmaker videos about Shrek and Hitler having romantic adventures....


The worst is when a record company claims you used a song because the songwriter sampled a clip from a movie, and you used the same clip. So essentially they claim you’re violating fair use by using this thing they used under fair use!


Has anyone taken these big corpos to court? No?

Well this problem will go on, then. Keep complaining you guys, nothing will happen.


Don't remind me about that Happy Tree Friends animation. I remember when I read the news that it existed several years ago. I still used YouTube to watch Naruto in three parts (remember when that was a thing), so I was really pissed off at Mondo. I don't think I've watched a single animation of them since then.

I loved Happy Tree Friends when it was on G4tv what happened?


I wonder how many claims this video'll get lmao


honestly like i put so many songs in my videos 90% of the time it doesnt recognize it at all


I wonder if the copyrighted content in this vid has been spotted by the mothership


>plays Zircons music

Dang you got good taste emplemon 👌


If pewdiepie can get copyrighted for singing someone else's song, Kurzgesagt can theoretically get copyrighted for drawing a Pokemon. It probably won't, though.


I guess Joker Emp penetrated the system! ;)


Nord VPN's been hacked now, so idk if those VPN sponsorships are as concrete as they one were


I have 2 copyright strikes for 2 covers I've made. Fuck YouTube.


I see Emp has been using a lot of smash music. <br>Banned.

I see Emp has been using a lot of smash music.
Banned.


It's a bit ironic how you show MST3K as a way to watch movies, when many, many, many episodes that have been uploaded by users not affiliated with the show are being removed by those who ARE affiliated with the show, or by the CR owner of the movie being lampooned.


4:48 I can't believe I just heard Karn Evil 9 actually used in anything, EVER


What a strange move. The only smart move is not to play. We should all switch to Peertube.

Decentralized, federated, you can run your own instance and have users on it be able to view videos on other instances. It's like if you could watch videos on Vimeo from YouTube. Also there's no ads, but making money would be harder... No grifters!


I saw you were using a song from elp in there 👌 good placement for it


How about all of the creators just put 50 dollars each into a project to sue youtube because of fair rights infringement?


You cant just drop Mumbo Jumbo's face like that


I've just copyrighted the word ContentID™®©

Immagonnaberich!


I wonder how many people complaining about big corporations controlling YT also vote for people who give tax breaks for big corporations and will argue in other areas that they trust businesses rather than government with their best interests.


will Emp copyright the [Downward Spiral] ?


Meesa think lemon has been on a downward spiral and he's still loosing it completely.


wow you actually got paid for the advertising at the end lmao


By now I think we all know what Youtube Poop really means


What the fuck? I paused the video at 3:30 and got lost in my own thoughts and remembered how good Shawshank redemption was when I saw it earlier today. And what do I see two seconds later? One of the best god damn scenes from the movie.


DONT RELEASE PART 2 ON YT THEY WILL JUST USE IT AGAINST YOU!

UPLOAD ON BITCHUTE NO ONE CARES OVER THERE!


It would be ironic as all hell of this video got claimed.


I made a music video for my channel. Literally made everything from scratch, the song and visuals. Copy striked. fml


Good lord do I have some stories about copyright claims


Youtube is getting out of hand with the claims. They did a Worldwide block on a Maopost.


The Joker/Trump mash-up creeped me the f out. Nolan's writers couldn't come up with anything that disturbing


YouTube's own policies is eventually what will be it's own downfall. YouTube sucks these days and it's why I dont upload content anymore


The safest one you said of just talking to a webcam isn't save because you might say a sentence that was used in a song once.


Bruh that bootlegger drop was hilarious lol


18:26 LOOOLLLL, and Raw is still ass to this day, I always wondered how you were able to get away with playing wrestling themes in ur old vids, like u played Jericho’s, and I forget which wrestling theme it was, but u damn near played the entire theme. Ig u got too big, and u were put on the radar. But idk if AEW’s copyright is any better, ik they copyright AEW botches a lot, but I never of any wrestling youtuber complain about AEW taking down their stuff


Emplemon using Persona 5 music? Very cool man, very cool.

Wow. This gives me some serious Persona vibes.

We got another one boys...we got another one.

Y'all don't know what a perfect game is until you've played persona 5

@Peter Parker This does not apply to Yu Narukami though, he is a verified chad.

Everyone knows weebs don’t equal chads, let betas be betas guys

@Cretin H True intellectuals know that my profile picture matches the choice of music

@Cretin H I never played Persona 5 but the soundtracks in that game sounds like sang in English and pretty much Jazz to me

You'll never see it coming

@Cretin H I never played Persona 5 but the soundtracks in that game sounds like sang in English and pretty much Jazz to me

_You'll never see it coming_

@Tom245332 Watch Death Note, you'll really like it. There's a great character named L. That detective has crazy skills.


18:00-18:35
You basically shitting on WWE was the best thing I have ever seen.
AEW is going to be fucking awesome!!


kurzgesagt sometimes steals their video ideas and scripts from lesser known youtubers


Andy Warhol's art is definitely an ad for campbells soup


anyone else just happy EmpLemon posted (:


EmpLemon: Never thought I had to comeback to this downward spiral...

Youtube: Oh ho, are you approaching me?

Emplemon: I can't rant out my feelings, evidence, and anything else unless I beat the crap out of your ass...

YouTube: oh, then come as close as you like...


The clip at 13:10 was amazing. Where can I find it?


2:33 all rise for the youtube national anthem


Emplemon: incorporates prog rock into backgroud music
turns to camera
Like a boss!

My Nutcracker video went through a fuck ton of claims and takedowns by Disney. Its up now but the footage has to be massively edited but I still can't make money off it if I wanted to.


I once got a video deleted because I threw a calculator at a patio


Vid seems to imply that people need to use copyrighted content in order to make good videos...


I wonder if all the smash Bros music put in this video specifically is made to reference the falling of BrawlBRTSTM and GiIvasunner


I for one, am glad we are stuck with you.


What I learned: the youtube copyright system is an anarcho-capitalist dystopia

@rose_Gaming I know, but "anarcho"-capitalist is what these people call themselves

You can’t have anarchy and capitalism, that’s quite contradictory


If we create a bunch of accounts and claim their videos, we can spam them into getting rid of it or making it too complex to claim troll


When deadman, routenote etc. claims the original song


Funny I literally listen to all my music on YouTube


Poor pyro, all of his videos were copyrighted because of one clip of a song with a sample from UMG..


god I enjoy your taste in music EmpLem<br>r.i.p. Emerson and Lake

god I enjoy your taste in music EmpLem
r.i.p. Emerson and Lake


Corporate companies taking advantage of copyright? Naaaahh!


It detected a song that was so low you couldn't even hear it in the video. I couldn't even hear it.


2:30 So you're telling me that people making tutorials back then didn't just like this song for no fucking reason?

portal ⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻


Good morning kind sir, i am a youtube bot, and i've seen more than 10 seconds of a Spongebob clip, i will demonetize you.


I literally only have 2 videos on my channel and they are shitty beats I made when I was bored in 11th grade yet I still got a claim on one of my videos because the claimant had a song that  used the same sample I got from Looperman. Very cool


Terrible news, Emplemon! YouTube is making new Terms of Service that will suspend or terminate your channel!


YT uploader: I want to upload a video to generate ad revenue.
Copyright holder: Yeah.
YTU: I could do all the work to make my own assets.
CH: Uh-huh.
YTU: But making assets is really hard work.
CH: Tell me about it.
YTU: So I want to use your assets.
CH: Makes a lot of sense.
YTU: But I don't want to pay you for the use of your assets.
CH: Right.
YTU: And I don't want you to get the ad revenue - you see, I want that ad revenue. If you got the ad revenue, that would be you stealing my hard work.
CH: The best option would be to make your own assets, then, and reap the benefits. Or use our valuable assets and pay us.
YTU: YOU FASCIST
CH: :/

@Henry Martin That assumes the assets are of equal value. If the YTU assets are generated by a schlub with a potato webcam and free A/V editing software, the value per minute of YTU content is very low. If the CH assets are created by professionals and are cherry-picked to include only the most valuable slices of a commercial or something, and that commercial is valuable because of significant investment by the CH, then the CH assets are extremely valuable per minute. Remember that a McDonald's commercial for example is valuable not only because the company made the asset, but they paid a lot to distribute it, and most of its value is in the brand recognition of the company itself which was developed over a very long time and cost a LOT of money to do.

What that leads to is a 10-minute video where 9 minutes is almost worthless because the YTU assets are cheap cheap cheap, and 1 minute of CH assets which are incredibly valuable in comparison. Let's call it 9 minutes at a penny a minute but 1 minute at $99.91 a minute. Those numbers may not be accurate but the relationship between them is. Possibly more generous to the YTU than we should be.

If the video generates $10 in ad revenue, it would be appropriate for the YTU to take almost 1 cent and for the CH to take the remaining $9.99. Which is so close to taking the whole enchilada that the distinction is meaningless.

As an example of just how cheap user-generated content is, it took me a couple minutes to formulate this excellent response against which there can be no defense, but for no pay, and if any company were hiring me to do it they'd have paid me something like $1.00 gross wages.

That said, we live in a culture where property ownership is a thing. I can't come into your home and feed cattle there without your permission. So the relative values don't actually matter; all that matters is that the YTU uses content he didn't have a right to. The penalty for that infringement is loss of revenue from the work containing stolen assets. And everyone knows that before we even start. So it's a choice, and a gamble, that the YTU is hoping not to get caught. If he wanted to actually make a deal with the CH instead of sneaking assets, he could try. But CH's offered deal would probably be pretty damn close to 99.99:1.

missed a part

YTU: i want to include your assets without paying you
CH: okay...
YTU:but your assets will only comprise a fraction of my video
CH: yeah
YTU: therefore, the revenue i gain from this video will be only be due fractionally to your assets
CH: makes sense
YTU: i did not transform your assets, so you have a legal and logical right to take advantage of those assets' usage.
CH: damn right
YTU: and clearly, youre only entitled to that aforementioned fraction of revenue, right?
CH: nah, we'll take all the revenue
YTU: :/

Can't we just all up and go to another platform?


Persona 5 music? You're even more cultured than I thought!


Can you please do another Never Ever on a Formula 1 driver? Michael Schumacher, Ayrton Senna, etc please


Does anyone remember the CONJOPI guys back in 2010 and how they got Chuggaconroy, NintendoCapriSun’s, and possibly more let’s play channels suspended because of the stupid copyright claim system?


You used Karn Evil 9 (Carnival 9) by Emerson, Lake and Palmer in a video that references clown world, wanton abuse of power and ownership of entertainment content. I can't tell if you're a genius or just into really great music... or both.


After 6:08 minutes I realized I have already watched this video


Boot-leggers sounds like an underground crime syndicate


Shame ytps have just been wiped off the site


I mean, at this point we should just wait for Susan Wajawdjloski to retire.


Cracked up when you started talking about watching AEW


11:28 Shoutout to Mauler and the EFAP crew. Praise be to the Don.


6:32 oh holy shit what do you know? My names on this video...

copystrikes intensifies

6:32 oh holy shit what do you know? My names on this video...

*copystrikes intensifies*


14:06 I'm done with internet historian and the downward spiral


I am positively jazzed to hear a cover of Karn Evil 9 1st Impression pt. 2


It is not only right, but encouraged to use adblock in 2019.


13:05 Can we just address what kind of intro this is?


The McMangos shoutout yesss dude you're legit (besides all these dope vidumentaries)


4:36 yo did lumpy just memorize that whole url


I'm very happy with the use of Smash and Persona 5 music


emperorlemon has entered a new phase...  the CLOWNWARD SPIRAL


There will never be another group like n.w.a


Man dissed WWE for copyrighting just for AEW to attack even worse


14:52 boi that was the slickest thing I’ve ever heard

ألتعليق ألنقدي


That Freddy Ruins Sam's Life soundbite though hahaha


I have seen if you use clips less than 10 sec they would not be labled copyright. Correct me if Im wrong


Can we plz have a full ytp of trump as the joker? I neeeeeeeeeeeeeeeddddddddd it


and then there is the nerf yotubers who upload game photage who can upload raw while putting in the effort in the content itself


Is that an Emerson, Lake, And Palmer remix playing throughout the video?

Edit: just saw the music used link. Nice.


That Persona song at the Cold Turkey part hit me riiiight here.


6:19 unless your house are copyrighted :<


15:46 I never knew about this. LOOK AT ME, I AM THE CAPTAIN, NOW!


2:51 Did they have to make up countries for this?! XD


That is the best ad for nordvpn I've seen yet


19:58
Don't touch that dial now, we're just getting started.


13:22. Thank you for playing Happy Landfill


Yo Mr downward spiral i could compare your hiatuses to something like berserk but then again at least you don't upload shit between your masterpieces so it's worth the wait.


Damn what about pyro losing all of his videos for a sample in his end song


Never Ever Idea: There will Never Ever be another company like Nintendo


Why is the ad in the end actually good why is the video good why did I never watch emp lemon before


may not be about the videos topic but damn Karn Evil 9 playing in the background made me so happy


Why doesn't every small youtuber just decide a day where they all go around claiming every single video that isn't theirs? Might send a message.


Imagine watching the first 1,2 minutes while tripping... no thx pls no NOOO.


Wasn't one of pewdiepie's videos claimed because he said Despacito? Oh yes, I remember when you could get copyrigjt striked for saying a word in spanish. I swear that if you write a song and it has 3 notes in a row that happen to be in another song, oh no you're getting sued for these 3 notes in your origional song. It's even gitten to the point where a company like sony will claim a song they don't even own, Sony claimed a video of a woman playing the piano and it was because of a song they "owned". So what song did they "own"? Bach, they apparently "own" the music of Bach. To go even farther, I could bet that if you flashed a single frame of an episode of spongebob in your video your video would then become claimed, in which now it will have little to no ads, and any money you do earn is instantly lost to the company who claimed your video.

You know what's even dumber? It's likely that you could get your video claimed by referring to a sponge who wears pants, but then if another tv show made by another company than the one who owns spongebob, well, we can't sue them if they have an episode in the background, now can we. Since Youtube is an American company you'd think they'd try to have a petition or something to try an get a law passed that could help content creators for the platform and other platforms as well, and even if it doesn't get passed at least they would've tried. U.S. law states that if a petition gets enough signitures the government has to address it. (This is off topic, but the reason why I know about this law is because apparently enough people signed a petition to have the U.S. government create a life size death star, and of course it wasn't passed, but this shows that the U.S. government would have to address petitions.) I don't know the specifica on how a law like that would work, but I know that if a law in one country can affect other countrie's experiences on youtube negatively (COPPA and Article 13) then laws passed in one place should be able to affect youtube across the world positively as well.


(Guitar riff) Time to play the game......(Guitar riff) TIME TO PLAY THE GAAAAAAAAAMMMME!!!!


Needed now more than ever, this series. Fuck copyright law.


Naughty naughty YouTube we seriously should just make a new website at this point join together to create a new and better place but one can dream


how about the "epic meme compilation"on youtube now? is that a same thing?


very nice Ronald McDonald insanity cameo god damn i love touhou

@ThiccAstley <br>Ronald is called Donald McDonald in Japan.

What if I just never monitize my videos?


Never thought I’d hear “Karn Evil 9” by ELP in a YouTube video, wow


Thats not exactly what transformative means, though.


WWE Takes Off Ad Revenue off of a video praising there content

Emp: You have created the very thing you swore to destroy


Any movie + Brazilian Portuguese dubbing = no copy strike 🏴☠


KrmaL actually get his Low Death video unblocked by appealing, so it's not completely useless


12:29 Brazillian Bootleg upload. I'm very proud


Whatever happened to the part 2 of this?


To be fair though, even experts in vpn services were recommending nordvpn. Nobody knew about the breach, until it was reported on. I mean if your gonna take a sponsor, at least do it on some creditable company.<br>So it's really nobodies fault for accepting the sponsor money from nordvpn.

If you play EmpLemon at .75 speed it sounds like Chills of Top15s


I'm going to have to leave a dislike for not playing the drop of YouTube's national anthem


Last vid I heard Jethro Tull, this video I hear ELP, subbed.


At the moment I dont care about money but when I will eventually care I will be pissed


14:00 I recognize the clip from my Fresh Comp. Skills college class


This is why I encourage everyone to always have adblock, ublock origin and whatever other add-ons to block ads on youtube, on at all times.


5:46 that would be a gradient not a spectrum


Now how can we create a vid/post that can destroy the bots?


Theirs nothing we can do, all we can do is wait until a new competitor to YouTube and jump ship.

No chance. The corporations will be on it before you will.


I respect you for using Jerma's jokes and Star_ pictures ;;;;)))

I was going to watch porn but i guess i have to watch this now instead

Andrew Demidov emplemon however only gets better with time

Lemon, are you a touhou fan?
Please, Lemon. Please tell me.


hold up, I feel like an idiot right now but is the downward spiral theme just the mario 64 infinite staircase theme in reverse?


14:34 i don’t’ agree with you if I want to watch the incredible I watch the uncredible and the noncredible and maybe the excredible if I’m really feeling like hearing sus in 2019


When are you hopping on the Yang train Emp?


Your remix of the incredibles is better than the incredibles 2 in every way.

Yo if someone's video is monetized and an Ad plays I won't buy your shit just for putting ads on YouTube. That way media won't want anything to do with it and will instead do sponsorships like NordVPN.


Didn't expect to see Mumbo Jumbo in this video


I also can't wait to watch AEW on TNT sir...


Persona music??? In my emplemon video??? Perfection.


Vimeo exists. Abandon shitty and abusive platforms


Really cool music that you wrote at 19:38 mind if I use it?


If you post an entire song into the Youtube comment section could you get a copyright strike?


10:57 “Commentary channels”

A Sperm Whale Spontaneously Called Into Existence


This was all funny in the past but dis shit is getting too real like the downward spiral theme is hitting too hard


Tip: can’t be demonetized if you weren’t monetized in the first place


just claim your own videos goddamit its not that hard


see i work on music and i want to upload to youtube but FUCK UMG i've been hit by them once for something they did not have the rights to at all but they wanted to make money of it anyway and i had to take down the song (the funny thing is it wasnt even a good song it was when i was just starting out making trash)


How many copyrighted things used in this one video !!!??


Youtuber: Has 5 seconds of a song.

UMG: I'm gonna end this man's whoke career.


YouTube: Broadcasting yourself or the company?


Ok this is bullshit. I have bell notifications on and YouTube decides to not notify when emp posts.


we live in a society.

You hate to see it.


you know what else i saw at 14:53? the last year of byzantium and the final death of the roman empire at the hands of the ottomans.


Hmmmmmmm..... avoid copyright vie changing all the colors and muting the sounds? Neat


18:19 Hey you used unfiltered WWE footage!


LMFAO First time ive laughed that hard in a while


Give an epilepsia warning it could be aprecieted

Okay, Mr. 11-year-old.

Quality over quantity I’m not 10 so I don’t mind waiting


dude i' nailed the first one, i'm already high on the spectrum.


How you deal with colab is call their ceo during dinner


So, basicly you STAND with AEW?

Ima right

Both are fighting for wrestling industry domination.


Society or no society that is the question!


YouTubers need to Unionize or stop bellyaching. It’s like YouTubers tried nothing and are all out of ideas. Why won’t y’all consider using actual leveraging of content together? This works for ALL aspects of bringing the bosses of digital media to the bargaining table. The thing of value y’all have to bargain is your content that makes up the whole YT site’s cash flow. They know y’all wont band together bc y’all hate each other. Fk all that. If YouTubers put aside their tone deaf feeble analysis and collectivize. There’s plenty of resources on how to organize a completely unrealized potential international content creator Union. Look into it. Bc if you don’t you’re ignoring over 100 years of fighting unjust exploitation of creator/laborers.

This is gonna get removed so hard someone download lol


Maybe we should all go back to making old-school style videos with nothing but a webcam and MS Movie Maker. No more professional videos. That way, we cannot get copyright-striked anymore.

Also, the Joker memes have already been done to death, not cool.

Wow...just wow.... ever see a video that you are excited to see the follow up to?..... what am I witness too? Nothing. Or the start of something. Drunk ass thought.


Solution: make 2nd channel and copyright claim yourself.

Don't have to worry about being claimed if you have no viewers...

But really though, after adpocolypse I decided not to chase monetization. Then they changed the qualifiers and that sealed the deal. I'm fine with the owners of the music I use in my vids getting any ad money from the few clicks I get. I just want feedback.

Besides isn't patreon and other related sites better anyway?

One of my videos uses a copyright free track that another youtuber made, but it's still flagging me


A trans theories vid is perfectly good balance


There is one more type of youtuber. Fake uploader. They upload 2 h video of something and its generaly video of piracy is wrong non-sense.
