Let's Play: Quest For Glory V: Dragon Fire 39 Dryads and Pixies

As an aside to all that is said here, this character limit is a bit bothersome.

[Templayer]

I don't want to break the naivity of you all, but the detection/blocking-or adding add is fully automated ...

[IGMatthew]

@Templayer Yes, but somebody in the company had to make the decision to allow that automation to take place. Just because they aren't personally looking at my video and deciding what to do with it doesn't mean I can't be thankful for the fact that they are willing to create a programmed 'middle ground' with LPers (and uploaders in general for that matter).

[Templayer]

@IGMatthew No, even the decisions are automated. There is only one exception from that, when filling up counter notices to those. Also, you should fill up a fair use counter notice to videos being identified as having copyrighted content inside of them (it doesn't matter if those videos are blocked, or have only the "matched content" with adding adds to your video) - you account can be deleted for having too much copyrighted content (even if not blocked, only adds) - and it is automated AS WELL.

[IGMatthew]

@Templayer I will definitely look into that, thank you. And by the 'decision' I was talking about, I meant some person sitting in a comfy chair at one point in the past went "Well... we can find the copyrighted content, so should we have it straight out deleted? Or do something less immediate to the videos and their uploaders?" Be that a lawyer, CEO, Judge, or whatever. There was a decision somewhere to enact the software involved.

[Templayer]

@IGMatthew Well, that is exactly how it does NOT work. As I said, the process is fully automated. It goes like this - The person having the copyright rights contacts youtube, sends them the original work (youtube will make an detecting algorithm based on the original work, which will automatically detect the copyrighted work), their copyright list, and what should happen if detected - Adding adds, blocking the video (+which countries for). The guy in the comfy chair will see it ONLY if .....

[Templayer]

@Templayer ... if you are countering the detection (either if it was false detection, or you have the copyright OR FAIR USE). BTW youtube threading of comments sucks, it doesn't work the supossed way it should. .... Fair Use = the video doesn't not have to be allowed by the copyright holder, the video must be transformative in nature, it must not compete with the original work and be either educational, criticism, parody or be heavilly edited version of the original work.

[IGMatthew]

@Templayer I think I'm on a different thought line than you. I'm under the assumption that humans have to take the time to write in the code for an automated system to make choices about what to do with a given instance. Whether or not a line of code (such as how to process videos) is written into the programming is, hopefully, man-made. I'd also presume that a human brought about the reasoning behind why the code is written as it is. So while not UMG, the choice was made to play nice with peopl

[Templayer]

@IGMatthew Yeah, you are right on that .... there is a fact through, that NOBODY from them (meaning both youtube workers and copyright holders) has ever seen or been notified of you and your video(s). The PC runtime programming code algoritm simply detected a common signature in your video (either audio or video) and applied the solution, which was originately inserted by the copyright holder, using the way specified.

I am a lousy programmer, but still, you are thanking to nobody. :-)

[IGMatthew]

@Templayer I'd hope youtube didn't just have some guy locked in a room who had to go through everything that gets flagged.

Also, I've gone so far as to thank a door for staying open for me, so thanking a program for letting me have my upload isn't too different.

[Templayer]

@IGMatthew It just seemed silly xD

[Templayer]

@IGMatthew And before you reject the "account deletion" comment of mine, I would just like to tell you, that I have over 1 000 videos, and alot of them are in HD and over 1 hour long - that means you should believe me, at least a little bit.

For example - try to add the names to your browser youtube lines - Grayknife and Y0shimitshu - those were another LPers, which didn't believe. Kikoskia did. Difference? Both Gray and Yoshi got deleted for copyright claims. Kiko didn't.

Um, how long does it take for the ad to appear in the description? I recently uploaded my video (which included third party stuff, as it too is a Let's Play).

[daemonarchangel]

I love this part too. How do you get it to run so well on your machine? Mine crackles and locks up all the time. I'm running vista and putting it in compatibility mode for 98

[IGMatthew]

@daemonarchangel I use 'Virtual PC', which allows you to run an OS (such as 98) within your current one. I wasn't even able to run QFG on XP until I did that. There's still some popping and what-not, but from what I remember that has always been like that.

[daemonarchangel]

@IGMatthew Ahhh I see. Awesome thanks. I'll give that a try. I was trying to play this game myself when I found your videos. A lot of people diss on this game but the music is amazing and the game itself isn't THAT bad =)

[jmancil13]

@IGMatthew I had to use this too, it allowed me to actually get past minos on vista! lol
