I still buy CDs, pay for movies, and buy games. Paid distribution is still legitimate, but fair use has always been, too. This has always been the problem of basing legality on semantics and interpretation of unexhaustive written laws, and always will be. Just because you can technically interpret a law to prevent someone from deriving creativity from the roots of another work doesn't legitimize doing so, just like technically saying pirating is for private use doesn't legitimize sidestepping someone selling art.


I always ask myself why these mega corporations even hoard all that money. By owning like 90% of the entertainment you make more money than all of the employees could spend in a lifetime. What are they even doing with all that money. It's all so pointless. Why do i have that weird thought in my head that all this current dysfunction of our society is one big joke and it'll all collapse soon.


Imagine being so greedy for money you're willing to cripple the advancement of culture

The counterargument for this would be, "imagine being so lacking in wealth that you care about the advancement of culture by other poor people"<br>Idek, I just can't see how that justifies what's been done.

Idek, I just can't see how that justifies what's been done.


Just tell them that their Minion Memes will go bye bye if they continue with this style of Copyright. That'll get them off their asses.


Better watch it before Youtube takes it down!


Seinwave started playing and I fucking SCREAMED, "YES!!" out loud in my room. LMAO


Somebody needs to put a boot on the neck of corporate power.

lol it's not like the government makes direct money off of any of this. It's just made for morals' sake, despite not being very moral right now. They kinda screwed themselves over as they gave too much to large corporations and now corporations run the U.S. Oops, I guess.


Can't believe we finally got an Emplemon facepaint reveal


Truth is, game was rigged from the start.


We live in a society that’s currently in a downward spiral and at the end of this spiral is the sweet release of death


laws should serve the people not vice versa - let's overthrow this BS #takeadumponthemilleniumcopyrightlaw


Imagine someone go to jail for singing happy birthday song


The happy birthday one WAS true but some smart people found the origins (very fuckin old) and is now copyright


Copyright: Am I a joke to you

YouTube: Well... no but technically yes

Me: YES!

hello joe. we like fortnite! we like fortniteeee!!!!!


About hip hop, danny brown got like 70k in debt from samples for making atrocity exhibition, and it's probably one of the greatest rap albums... ever really lol


Wasn’t there a video that was completely silent that got copyright claimed?


Intellectual Property one of the biggest lies on the planet. The idea that one can actually own an idea or narrative is completely foolish. One may argue that the exclusive right to profit from an idea or narrative should be established that authors might have more reason to create things, but you must understand that even if such an institution is established, these rights are entirely manufactured and are in no way inherant, they are created for their use and the point at which they stop being useful to society is the point at which they stop having any valid existance.


You and itsagundam should do a review of the ridge wallet together.


Pirate PSA: Intellectual property is not property.


Community: Let us create what we want

YouTube: No, I don't think I will

lol copyright stuff isn't necessarily youtubes fault even though they play an extremely important role


Eveytime I watch a Emp video I always wonder why the simpsons are green 😂 so random it’s funny to me


@Hatster oh no always support the independent creators.

amen.

Unless you can reasonably afford it. Then don't that's kinda scummy to smaller creators.


rusty cage background music should be the standart for all youtubers lmfao


You always have at least 1 song that I've played in my band. Are you stalking me?


We're this close to jumping ship from this goddamn website

hi sino. wel ikef ortnitteeee! we likef ortnittteeee!


The ultimate culmination of Youtube copyright law is Pooh's Adventures.


I wanna go back to 2009 or 2011. I litterally dedicated my life to become a Youtuber since i was 5. Im so done WITH YOUTUBES SHIT


Copystrike law is unconstitutional because the punishment is cruel and unusual (not to mention disproportionate and unnecessary.) Charging someone all of their Adsense for a video because of 5 seconds is against everything American!


Send this video to your Representatives in Congress

This is why everyone should support term limits. Not only does it give a chance for younger politicians, it culls the career politicians that have been in office for 30+ years, and destroys the vast reach lobbies have in US politics.


I got a stadia ad during this video.

Society hurts man...


Yeaaah! I new video, I already know I am going to love it.


Aaaaaaand iDubbbbz' Content Cop on Leafy was taken down. This website is truly the worst.


Actually the Happy birthday song is now a public domain

Something tells me that people are still going to copyright claim it anyway.


May I offer you an egg in these trying times?


14:30 Xi has full control over those tanks.


Mr Emp Lemon my mom says you are my biological father please become a part of my life dad


Hey EmpLemon, can you do another colab with mumkey jones or mysterious mr enter.


Hey a new emplemon video
10 second in.

He lost it.


<b>scrolls down to see if the video is copyrighted</b>

*scrolls down to see if the video is copyrighted*


I saw the Drake and Josh ytp collab was taken down by Viacom again :/


Wait, there's a BOTTOM to the downward spiral?


Problems with copyright:
-last too long, most copyrighted materials such as abandonware (old video games that no longer supported) and other old works that many companies cease enforcing them but in law, still protected. Users had to download ROMs to preserve and play them which is illegal. Nintendo is at war against this, rendering these old games as a “limited time availability”. That’s right, users are FORCED to sail the high seas if they want to play them, not to mention, region locks and licensing. There’s no legal way to obtain them.
-it restricts more than just copying, EULAs and DRM are fucking trash. Jhon deere is one example to stop farmers from repairing their tractors. Lets not forget about sony BMG and flightsimlabs going vigilante on their software.

Rex Umbra agreed, saw on techdirt that  companies are now exploiting people that protect America.

@GHB dude, I never said i supported anti piracy, just pointing out that the law forces corporations to act that to protect their ip. Now eula's and drm are different matter. The us military is even negatively impacted by that, so hopefully right to repair and such can be pushed on that front

Many of these works have a commercial lifespan of 5-20 years. But by default, <i>last</i> way longer than that. The original form of copyright was that to continue its legal protection, renewal is required every 20 years. If the holder dies, the remaining copyright cannot be extended.

Rex Umbra anti-piracy, more like anti-consumer in the world of Corporatism.

If you don't enforce your copyright, you lose it. That's part of the reason these corporations hunt it so aggressively.


No, all copyright law is wrong. It is a direct violation of freedom of expression. The thing that should keep corporations from stealing ideas and stopping bootleggers is the thing you least want to hear; YOU! This wouldn't be a problem if people practiced their principles. Sucks to be a massive hypocrite I guess but it doesn't make copyright any more moral. No information should be illegal.


Copyright claim your own YouTube videos using bad music in your end credits using amuse to avoid copyright


Game Awards copyrighting claiming themselves


paying for content ? me and my bros use torrent


Couldn't Disney renew Micky's copyright?

I don't understand but maybe it has to do with the original creators of Steamboat Willie being dead and copyright could only be written for them maybe??? So Disney just extend the years after death as a loophole. But then Emp said something got taken out of the public domain here. I really don't understand.


DOWNWARD SPIRAL DOWNWARD SPIRAL DOWNWARD SPIIIRRRAAAAL!!!


The downward spiral truley never ends, COPPA

we we we liiiiive in a sooocietiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii


3 weeks ago and i did not get notified by this


Emp. If you move over to BitChute or some other alternative platform I will support you.


I say it should be if you make it you own it until you don't want it anymore

Besides just make an original song


For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16 KJV,  Jesus Christ is the only way...........


So then why don't you take a stand and use BitChute instead?


who is the official creator of 'DISNEYS TMMTTMTMTMTMTMTMTM FORZEN TMTMTMTMTTMTMTMTMTMTMTMTM 2TMTMTMTMTMTMTMTMTMTM' When will they Die ? When will it become public domain?


The composition is public domain, but recordings of public domain songs can still be copyrighted.


less than an hour in and there is allready 400 comments what


I THOUGHT ID CLEAR THIS UP. u said less than a tenth of a percent. yet the graph said .2% which is twice a tenth of a percent. PROBLEM SOLVED YW IN ADVANCE


Here's my two cents: I agree with most of your points, but I think that copyright should last forever. (not sure if disney got their 1 day before infinity thing)  Let me explain why before people get mad. If fair use worked, you could use scenes for quick jokes as long as they weren't over-extended. People would also be able to draw inspiration from other works. Those are your main points in my eyes. Let's say you are dead or your copyright expires. Without infinite copyright, what is stopping someone from saying lol I made this or lol i copy pasted this games files now pay me i made this game. Now using characters for parodies and stuff is fine but using characters and not the template and traits of the characters in another tv show or movies doesn't seem to be fair use. If fair use worked then copyright should last forever cus like if I owned stuff I would be perfectly fine with people doing stuff like you do but then it would also stop from someone eventually just saying lol I want this so ima just say it mine or lmao ima take his code and essentially copy paste it. I agree that rn fair use is broken but I hope you can see the message I am trying to convey.


the guy who said that comment had a fkn point u just chose to focus on the part that says reasonable laws


Was literally watching Part 1 of this when I got the notification. Good job Emp!

hello nich. we like fortniteeee! we like fortniteeee!!!!


Great work as always, Emp! You're the best!


that feeling when your day is fucking saved by the release of a new emplemon video


Downward Spiral? More like Downward Society


All I can see is dust and gray
The towers collapsed
But the worst thing that happened is my videos got claimed
Can this day get any worse


Ah, a new episode of the Downward Spiral World Tour


Well shit, this came sooner than I'd expected.


a new video so shortly after the latest? What's this, christmas?!


The site is trash but where else are we going to go lmao


Will be making a Locals.com platform? Seems like it would be perfect for you


「I M P E N D I N G   D O O M   A R R I V E S」<br>But seriously though, I kinda wish we could find a different video platform, but I don't think it would work unless everyone migrated to that site. People are like "Hey guys, YouTube SUCKS! Let's move to [insert site here]!" but it never works because all of the popular YouTubers never move to those alternative sites because they're comfy with their current money grabbing scheme.

Where is frying dory tho. Dead joke but I don't care.


Hi JodIsHere. We like fortnite we like fortnite!


This is not specifically about this video   but why do you hate corporations

He used to belong to the YouTube Poop comunity, and Viacom, WB and other shitty companies constantly copyright claimed his videos while they were clearly protected by fair use. And thats something he still suffers today.


Oh my god stop trying to be funny just talk about the stuff @aaaaa


what the dog doin on the train cart 11:42


Emplemon complains about capitalism without mentioning how bad capitalism is ( it destroys art )


Sorry if this is unrelated but what's with the kid with the check mark screaming "Fortnite" in all of the top comments?


God, corporate America is the worst timeline.

@MMFan2004 --- I agree, because atleast in USSR you can use 40 second of Mickey Mouse character (and yes, there's a communist movie [made in Eastern Block, but created by Soviets], which featuring Mickey Mouse, I'm not kidding).

@MMFan2004 --- sorry, but actually nobody cares about Soviet Union, because I don't see anybody English-Speaking using USSR Music/Movie Footage, even thought it's PUBLIC DOMAIN!

I did not need to know what it looks like when a rhino shits its guts out. Unfortunately, you mage a 20 minute video about it.

Pap you’re saying that the video is bad? It’s a good video.


stop with joker you are not a child groomer


Wah wah wah complain wah wah wah YouTube bad


greetings JODisHere. We Like Fortnite! We Like Fortnite!


Theory: Disney extends Mickey Mouse's copyright so much because they don't want to see scat vore inflation art from him in Deviantart

Well... someone should tell them, that Rule34 artists don't respect copyright law anyway, lol


Today, man blames copyright law abuse on "Greedy Corporations" while not realizing that it's Capitalism that's killing art.


Do you see why communism exists now they reza be living in a Communist country then this dystopian time line bring me out this dystopian timeline someone very uses dead the public domain is Gade would someone give me out all fear


All this hate on our copyright system is unfounded. Companies own the rights to their property, and can legally choose how it is distributed on the internet. If they don't want their content being stolen by YouTubers and mutilated for a video, they have every right to a copyright claim. If you think a claim has been filed erroneously or maliciously, you can appeal it. Don't blame us for the copyright laws, we don't make the laws yet, so if you don't like them complain to congress.

Corporate shill detected. Opinion discarded

> All this hate on our copyright system is unfounded.
How so?  Considering the many facets of the laws that people take issue with, especially?
