 Hello everybody. This is kind of an interesting video. This is one of the things that you wake up to sometimes when you have a YouTube channel I was accused of stealing my own video So let's take a look at the situation. Just a quick shout out to my members I don't have the slide in here just because this is not a normal tutorial just kind of me ranting a little bit So I apologize for that, but thank you guys for your support. So yeah, so I woke up this morning and Here's what I saw on my YouTube channel now Just before I went to bed last night I got this copied video and I wrote back, of course, you know copied from where this is the original and you'll see That person replied shut with some inappropriate language up mate Just because you have no talent doesn't mean you can copy people's work This is copied from free code camp getting Reported and what this person is referring to would be this Here on free code camp. You can see that they have pong and I'm gonna scroll down and it says Python game tutorial punk and they published this in December of 2018 So that's that's what this person is referring to So let me go and show you my response to that So I actually actually I responded on my channel But I want to delete that because it does have bad language and you'll see why here in a second So I went and I found this person's channel and I just posted on their channel just a quick response And I just wrote yeah, I'd appreciate if you're gonna comment on my channel that you use proper language Avoid dropping F bombs if at all possible. I teach middle school students I'd rather keep the language clean for them I have students right now in middle school following my tutorials They don't need to see that and then regarding your accusation of me copying my own video from another source If you watch the free code camp video It is exactly the same because they used my video with my permission of course. This is how free code camp works If you look at free code camp, they don't make their own content At least not that I know I mean they don't make a lot of it They find videos that they like they think would be good for their audience and they contact me said hey We'd like to you know edit your video and you know put it up and use it We'll put a link back to you and everything more than happy to you know donate whatever my time effort Whatever that is and I'm sure I get a lot of viewers from free code camp I'm very grateful they they chose that so if you look back here at the Yeah, the free code camp page you'll see right here it actually has my name Tokyo ed tech if you go down to the You know that the the comments here the description It has a link to my website, which is now down, but I got to fix that It actually has a link to the my YouTube channel So this person needed to do a little bit more of research. Let me go back finish my response Yeah, if you watch the free code camp video the second line of my code says buy at Tokyo ed tech That's me in the description. It also has a link to my channel under my original name Some of you have been around for a while. You know, I switched from using my name name to Tokyo ed tech Also note I published my video in August of 2018 free code camp published theirs in December of 2018 that would be a good trip to copy a video that didn't exist So do a little fact-checking this time and save us both say both of us the effort mate And there's some links too. I like to be throw and here are the links. So let's go take a look at that real quick So again, here's the free code camp version Again note December 20th 2018 note here is my version posted on August of 2018 and Yeah, that's pretty pretty obvious. Now just for those of you who don't have a YouTube channel You're curious about how the some of these things work You know copyright violation is a very common thing it happens all the time and I get notifications If somebody takes the actual video YouTube will for me they will they have this thing where They they are constantly scanning for people using your stuff and you get these little Notices and says hey, you know, we found your video you can see over here How much of their video is taken from your video and you can request a removal you can message I? You know in a case like this. I just you know, I just let it go. It's not a big deal But what I do find I think with my tutorials in particular is if I search If I go so for example, so I think Python Pong tutorial and I filtered this by just this month And because people are constantly people are constantly using my code which doesn't bother me so much But just you know, hey give a little credit or credits do I look down through here earlier before I record the video This person I think basically copied my code But they did enough That's different that I really feel that they made it their own So I don't feel like this person copied for me I feel like they've remixed it and added their own ideas and it was really an original piece of work Yeah, this person actually is a really good coder check Sam or Ronak. Yeah, did a lot of really nice stuff with this video But you can also see if you look closely they also have space invaders I'm sure they use my code at least as a an inspiration Let's say and I do the same thing nobody nobody invents all this stuff on their own Everything's a remix friend of my really good book about it. I'll see if I can put a link down below About how creativity and where we get our ideas from I should check that out if you get a chance And then there's my platformer thingy which is coming up and if I scroll down a little bit more Looking at this. I know this is pretty much My program because it looks just like what I could they changed the colors, which was nice That was that was a nice little touch. But if I go into this And I do this a lot as I look and If I look at this code, this is the exact I mean line for line The only thing this person did was change the name of the paddle so instead of paddle a they used p1 Instead of paddle B. They use p2 instead of ball. They use BP But you know, it's the exact same order exact same structure Exactly exact same spacing so clearly this person has used my code and let's see if we got any credit and No, of course not. So what I'll do is I'll put a little thing here. I'll just say hey, you know, I know she's my code I don't mind it. Everything I do is creative commons You know, I I hope people use it, but I just do appreciate a link back and just you know Hey, I got the basic idea from Tokyo ed tech Check his channel out blah blah blah Yeah, so that was yeah, that was my that was my morning so, you know Just couple lessons from this is you know, if you're gonna accuse somebody of something Do your research and just make sure that you are correct You know, if somebody does copy something if you do see somebody copy something say hey Notice you copy this from X source here is a link. Yeah, you might want to give that person credit Okay, we can do this people can copy stuff and we can do it in a nice polite way That makes it better for everyone and you know when people do give me a link back I do sometimes say hey check out what so and so did with my code. They did a really nice job with it so we can we can all help each other and respect what each other's effort and each other's work and Yeah, make the world a better place. Anyway, thanks for watching just a little bit of a rant I know it wasn't a tutorial, but these things kind of happen. It's kind of funny But you know, I just I didn't I didn't really appreciate the swearing just because again I do teach young children and I'm gonna delete that comment now that I've made the video. So anyway, everybody else You know respect the creators and yeah, keep on good and take care
