 Ahoy, ahoy. Hello again. It's your local homeless person here to speak to you today about a serious copyright problem so I Haven't been able to find out a lot about the response to this, but I know for sure That an SCP reactor well technically I believe they react to a bunch of things, but they also react to SCP content named Isaiah ex cozy has been Copyright struck by a SCP animated channel called detective void What I can see from detective void is it looks and I could be wrong Let's look at the about page. I'm good to okay fantastic I'm detective void. It's not how you think that's a Useful sure okay So what has happened is that and I'm gonna go into why this doesn't really this isn't cool We already know right we already understand what a creative commons license means But it's also important because I think a lot of people outside of my community might not know And I also think it's important to have solidarity with people who are Running into similar problems that you may run into at some future point I'm not speaking to this person's YouTube content in any way I'm not recommend. I'm not necessarily recommending it because I haven't watched any of it Beyond the video where they explain their copyright strike, and I don't want to be recommending something I don't have I don't be recommending something that I'm not familiar with but I do want to shine a light on This issue because it's important Enough to shine a light on so I think most people know that this has happened to me before I had a Copyright strike, but it was retracted within hours of me appealing it From who was it that's that's how that's how in that's how ephemeral it was that I don't even remember who it was It was Yep, it was infographics, but they retracted it immediately got in contact with me. We had a calm. We had a few conversations about it They apologized it was a whole thing, right that happened now what we're dealing with today is Similar to that but on a smaller scale with both Creators being smaller. We have Isaiah X cozy who only has their this I believe their reaction channel they have an Main quote-unquote main channel that's only about 20,000 subscribers and their reaction channel has about 50 that's less than 50 but about 50,000 subscribers and the channel that Copyright struck them only has 35 36,000 subscribers So these are both smaller channels in general and this is kind of thing that can Definitely fly under the radar if not picked up by a bigger channel, which is the only reason. I'm really covering it And I really I went on their discord. I went on a discord. I'm not Well, I was not I was not a fan of the Interactions I saw going on at the time. I arrived. Let's just say that much But I went on their discord to check out what was going on and nobody knew anything of I checked it this morning. I probably should have checked it a few days ago and then waited for somebody to get back to me But I didn't do that So I went on their discord and looked around and nobody was able to tell me whether or not the Situation had been resolved What has happened and we're gonna cover the exact details of what has happened is is a video by Detective Void, which is an animated SCP channel was reacted to by Isaiah X cozy and then I don't know if it was positive negative or whatever But what I do know is that it is that it was copyright struck by the animated people There are two things about this that are important to understand first of all I'm never gonna fall into the thing where it's like I mean all they're doing is making animation based around SCP so they're not doing anything of creative value Because I feel like that's a very that's a very negative way to look at quite a lot of work I love this little piece of hair. That's just sticking up out of nowhere That's a I can't get it to go down Well, but it's a very negative way to look at like a lot of work and animation is a lot of work And even if you outsource it to a studio like that's a lot of resources that you're dumping into it So I somewhat can understand The reaction I'm not saying I understand. Well, it's very complicated, right? I Understand the impulse it is still incorrect and wrong To to follow through on that impulse because SCP content is creative commons content and if you create an animation based around an SCP what you're going to do is create content that is Not protected under normal copyright laws in the way that you think that it is at least let's say not protect It is protected there are protections creative commons provides, but they're not the protections that you're used to So you can't literally just go this person even it. I don't know what the reaction was because the video has been taken down Even if the guy sits silently Entirely through your video. That's just the thing you have to deal with There's nothing you can do about that and And I you know we can say look at that channel and say oh, I you know They shouldn't have done that they should have reacted to it more. They should have and they may have again I don't know because I don't know what the video looks like I'm not making any judgments on the content that was taken down because I haven't seen it But what I do know Okay, is that and this is a very true of that people on the SCP wiki as well This is true of me. It's true of everybody and everyone needs to understand this one truth about SCP content It's the reason why you're never going to see a big budget movie about SCP or television series That's that doesn't involve changing the IP in such a way as to basically make it not SCP right and it's very simply that's though those of us who make a living and or Try or and are trying to make a living off of SCP content What you're doing is you are sacrificing Normal copyright protections you're sacrificing the ability to get people to not steal your work You are Explicitly sacrificing that and you even if you didn't realize you were You need to be clear about this that is what you're doing and in exchange you're getting a ready made fan base that is fairly under exploited for lack of a better way to put it by media Because media the reason why media isn't exploiting the fan base if there was a way to protect stuff like this if these Copyright strikes were actually valid then media would be grabbing a hold of this and making SCP content because the audience is so big a Professionally made like a big budget sort of animation studio would grab a hold of SCP content and make SCP stuff with the SCP logo Wow, you know openly shown the reason why this is an unexplored niche and the reason why big budget stuff hasn't basically invaded the What's the fandom for like a better way to put it? I'm not saying that's a good or a bad thing I'm just saying it hasn't happened is because it's creative comments because they can't Protect their IPs. So if you as a small creator start treating it Like you're a big company and treating it like you have to quote-unquote protect your IP, but it's not yours you are Completely missing the point of SCP content and why it works. Okay, and I'm gonna give links to both Channels and I'm not again not recommending the content of either But I'm gonna give links to both channels in the description So you guys can follow through and make sure that you know This has been taken care of one way or the other and if for some reason Isaiah X cozy or I'm just I think his actual name Is Isaiah cozy because that's his main channel if Isaiah cozy Happens to watch this or somebody like sends him a link to it just Appeal the strike The I know you probably don't have access to lawyers and all these other things You're a little worried about it And I saw in your video that you were talking to SCP like staff and they'll probably advise you the same thing or Advise you they have no idea what to do Possible they'll probably give you they probably have an idea of what to do if they ever get back to you Just appeal the strike There is when I was copyright struck by Infographics show and there was a mistake on their part and they it was there was an automated system and all these other things All I did was appeal it and immediately as soon as a person saw it. They were like, oh, this is not I should not have done this this or we should not have done this or the machine Algorithm should not have done this whatever it was and it was reversed and even if it isn't you will win on appeal This is creative commons content regardless of what they think I'm not a lawyer. Let me clear about that. I'm not a lawyer. I'm not giving you legal advice I am giving you YouTube advice from lack of a better way to put it you should and You're doing this at your own risk, obviously because the way the YouTube system works, unfortunately, but under most circumstances appealing it and Just saying I this is creative commons content. This is not under a protected copyright. I can do this Should be perfectly fine and more importantly. We'll just take a look at one of the random videos This one's one of their most popular ones. Oh, yeah, they don't So it looks to me Yeah, it looks to me like they're keeping this under a standard YouTube copyright so Detective void is actually in violation of the creative like there aren't a lot of limitations for creative commons, right? But the detective void it looks very strongly and I'm not seeing I'm not scrolling through the timeline of this video Just as an example and I don't see any text that says anything of the sort There is like a kind of a conclusion for it, but in the description and Yeah, these are Mm-hmm. Yeah, these are definitely under a violation the creative commons copyright because our creative commons Protections because they do not state in the Yeah, they don't state in the description or anywhere in the video That the works are creative commons and how they're protected They are workers a derivative like for example, this is SCP 4975 an animated video, right? SCP 4975 is Under a creative commons share a like attribution license, right? So first of all, there's nothing in here that shows attribution there's nothing in here that links back to the original work and The work itself is not being distributed under a creative commons license Those are the three elements that have got to be followed You have to link back to the original work. You have to say who wrote it and you If you create a derivative piece of content It's not enough if I just mention SCP 4975 in a video for example Or if I talk a little bit about it But if I literally just make an adaptation an animated adaptation of a thing like these people are doing You have to include those elements You have to say who made it you have to link back to the original article and you have to release the new piece Under a creative commons license. So these people are the ones who are in violation not the reactor And actually let's take a look at mr. Cody because he has other SCP reaction stuff Let's see if he's in violation or not. He might not know Original vid linked out. He's not linking to He's linking he's linking it as a fair use thing I Mean his stuff is so if you're doing a reaction to an SCP Video, yeah, this is a problem for him too. So He needs to include first of all that video has to be released under a creative commons license And he has to link back to the original SCP 133 for just this one for example SCP 1337 and the author of that article and these are not very hard hurdles to overcome and again This is just a matter of people not understanding how the system works. These are the bare minimums though this is what you absolutely have to do in order to create SCP content and the confusion over this problem and again I'm looking that even the person who has been copyright struck is also not doing these things like the confusion over these problems with the newest SCP content is A serious problem and this is for someone I should say For the SCP channel, it's the SCP animated channel It's a little bit less Reasonable for them to make this mistake because it looks like they're throwing a lot of money into animation, right? So anyone who puts this money into animation should have looked into the at the SCP license and understood it first The reactor is just reacting to a video on the internet and thinking, you know, it's fair use. It's actually What's the best way to put this? First of all, reactions are probably not fair use. It's complicated, but whatever a lot of companies will allow it But the particular thing he's reacting to here Doesn't need to be fair use. It is protected Elsewise by the Creative Commons copyright or I should say the creative Commons protections Just follow the Creative Commons license and you're fine You don't need to worry about it be is it or isn't it fair use and we can talk about reactions all day I've done reactions on this channel. Reactions are prop. I've done reaction I had a reaction channel a long time ago reactions are probably not very use but companies often allow them under certain Limitations that because they know that excitement about a particular product or a particular thing will often lead to people Viewing that original piece of content more often Companies are a little smarter than most people give them credit for early on they didn't realize these things and they're like Ah, let's take down. They just treated it like it was normal Stealing but over time they've started to develop into the way of understanding how it works Some companies don't give a crap. Some companies just have a very strict copyright policy where they will take stuff down And they are probably within their legal rights to do so depending on how Transformative a reaction is but again None of this matters if you're reacting to SCP content because it is all derivative of SCP wiki content and under the Creative Commons license period Obligatory, I'm not a lawyer so I can't make Obligatory, I'm not a lawyer and I can't make absolute determinations here But I can tell you what I know and how I deal with stuff Anyway, that's it. I just wanted to inform people about this issue and again links to both channels will be in the description below Let me be clear here Do not go to either of these channels for any reasons and harass people or complain at people just make you know if you want to talk and this is just so you can see the people that I'm talking about here and You can find out whether or not these people have solved their problems one way or the other And I think amplifying a voice here is important, but I don't want it to be hostile I'm I'm talking to you Carl Anyway, that's it.
