 Hey everyone, welcome back to Nintendo Prime and sometimes we cover topics that seem a little bit outside the realm of our usual and that's because they happen to be things that affect all content creators on this platform or potentially could. We talked about like Phillip Musin, YouTuber hired by IGN that ended up, you know, honestly I really don't want to go back down that rabbit hole. But if you don't know what I'm talking about just type in Phillip Musin into YouTube and you will see clearly what he did and how he lost his job at IGN for committing the cardinal sin in journalism and being massively guilty for it previously on his YouTube channel. Now setting that aside, I've also covered other things over the years that I just deemed as something not morally correct or whatever and I'm prefacing all this because we're going to be talking about a YouTube channel called Quantum TV. This YouTube channel seems to focus primarily on reviewing TVs and setting settings for various TVs. He claims in his About section about something about saving people money or whatever and occasionally he does reviews of games as well and it was one particular review that actually seemed to start it all this although allegations against Quantum TV have existed for some time. But the reason we're talking about this is because what he's doing and the way he's abusing the YouTube platform is something that YouTube needs to correct and needs to correct now not just in dealing with this particular person but everyone who's abusing the YouTube platform in this way. Now before I get into this I want to know that this video is sponsored by Into the AM. They make beautiful shirts like this awesome custom printed teas.

They have just basic color shirts if you just want basic colors or undershirts they also make these they're really soft and these are some of the highest quality prints I've ever seen. I actually have a bevy of these I think I have over 20 of these into the AM shirts that I rotate into my daily wear so yeah I'm a big fan of Into the AM and I want to thank them so much for supporting the channel and sponsoring us. Alright so look here's the background with Quantum TV here's what I was able to just figure out on my own after watching a whole bunch of videos digging into Reddit threads the general gist of it is this here's something I'm not going to do in this video some of you know the Quantum TV situation I'm not going to be digging into his content and how he makes that content right there's accusations against him of claiming to be a specialist in the field when he's not there's claims that he's stealing settings from other creators for the TVs which again I'm not going to dive into that stuff because frankly it's out of my depth and not something that is really my concern lots of youtubers throughout research end up using other people's settings other people's content I don't really find this to be a problem per se even though you should accredit that stuff that's why we put sources down in the description I'm going to source a couple big videos I've used from like the Ackman and ReviewTechUSA in some of my research here because I really don't want to link to anything from Quantum TV himself but anyways the point is that Quantum TV has basically been abusing the copyright system and that's what I want to focus on I'm not going to necessarily focus on some of the other accusations against him but because there's things there's a lot out there there's things about him being a transphobe or a bigot or I honestly don't want to get into any of that stuff I will leave that to these other channels that are trying to get him kicked off the platform but I think the biggest reason that Quantum TV needs to be kicked off the platform is his abuse of the copyright system and potentially even falsely accusing YouTube of suggesting that he abused the system and this sucks because it's really scary and it really started when he made a review of Elden Ring and in his review of Elden Ring he says some pretty nasty things not just about the game but about the people who play Elden Ring and that's really what set some other content creators off is hey it's one thing if you don't like Elden Ring no one's really gonna have a huge issue if you don't like Elden Ring they might disagree with you and make some responsive videos to that but you can't talk about the people who play Elden Ring and say nasty things about those people and then you know think that that's okay and to be fair he has since deleted this video and I'm not gonna go up and find re-uploads of it anywhere because it's just not worth my damn time if I'm completely honest I've seen enough clips that the clips alone even without the full context are not okay I don't really care if it was a joke you don't say these things about people who play games so that seemed to be the focus of a youtuber called mischief who responded to his review and basically you know critiqued and using clips from his review critiqued his opinions on Elden Ring and the Elden Ring players and mischief didn't like this or I shouldn't say mischief. Quantum TV didn't like this and he decided to copyright strike his video and then copyright strike another one and another one and another one and obviously this is a small youtuber at the time you only have like 7,000 subscribers and this is very scary when you're at this size because copyright claims and copyright strikes can get your channel deleted off YouTube and sometimes when you unfortunately this is just the truth that YouTube when you're that small and you dispute these claims sometimes the YouTube manual reviews will just dismiss those claims thankfully in this case they didn't and those claims are all dismissed by YouTube but along the way he started attacking this person who happens to actually be a minor 16 years old and apparently he doesn't care that he's going after a minor he just keeps going at over and over and over again across multiple videos and if this was where the story ended I would probably leave it alone because honestly it seems like beef between two YouTube content creators and at that point I'm just don't really care but that's not where the story ends. ReviewTechUSA decides to make a little fuss about this they didn't really go super in depth in his very first video on it just kind of said hey like I don't know that this is really okay and that you should be treating people this way and you definitely shouldn't be false copyrighting videos goes after ReviewTechUSA and false copyrights his video which ReviewTechUSA easily won that dispute then he starts trash talking ReviewTechUSA for even critiquing him oh but it gets even better so a massive youtuber called I think the Actman I don't really watch his content so I don't know a lot about him but he decided to use clips from the Elden Ring review to critique his takes on this and Quantum TV claims that YouTube told him to copyright strike his video here is the exact words Quantum TV wrote himself in response to the Actman it was YouTube support who recommended I copyright claim your video because you reupload the clips of my original deleted video long after I deleted it from my channel naturally that means it was piracy and could be copyright claimed by the original owner or so they claimed after all how else does one upload another user's content long after they erase it I gave him a scolding for bad advice and will seek their options against your piracy of my content now this was the first big thing he did against the Actman and I want to show you guys something because I'm a YouTube content creator I know YouTube's policies because I have to follow them I agreed to them when I started uploading content in fact they remind you of these policies every time you upload a video but that's neither here nor there let's take a look at these policies as they're publicly posted so first let's talk about fair use see this is support.google.com Google owns YouTube so here's what they describe fair use as in regards to YouTube in the YouTube help section they say fair use is a legal doctrine that says you can reuse copyrighted protective material under certain circumstances without the copyright owners permission in the United States which is where this is all taking place only a court can decide what qualifies as fair use which is true you can start a lawsuit over everything with the court will like ultimately determine if it's fair use courts rely on four factors and then they link to you know the the fair use cop policy and it says the purpose of character of the use the nature of copyrighted work the amount and sustainability of the copyrighted work used and the effect of the potential market for a value for the copyrighted work now this is cool this is neat you could argue that yeah maybe it goes against fair use in a certain case here because it's copyrighted work of his and maybe it's being used in a way that that he deems not right but he deleted that work right so what's the problem with this well there's a problem with this because something I haven't seen anybody point out is how when you upload a video to YouTube you give up certain rights to your content and that includes the rights for other YouTubers to use your content here is in the YouTube turns of service you first you have your license to YouTube by providing content to the service this means anything you upload you grant YouTube now this is also YouTube is not arguing against YouTube a worldwide non-exclusive royalty-free sub-licenable transferable license that to use that content including to reproduce distribute repair derivative works display and perform it in connection with the service in YouTube and its successors affiliates it's basically YouTube can use any video uploaded to YouTube as they see fit okay fine that's I mean duds there it's their platform of course you can license to other users you also grant each user of the service a world so each user of the service that's me that's you you guys watching this video commenting you guys uploading videos you are a user of the YouTube service you grant each user of the service this is by uploading the video non-exclusive royalty-free so you don't get to collect money you don't you don't get exclusive rights to access your content to the service okay that's to watch it and to use that content including to reproduce distribute prayer derivative repair derivative works display and perform it only as enabled by the features of the service such as video playback or embeds for clarity this license not great any permission for users to make use of your content on an independent independent of the service so you can't like take his video and put it on twitch you can't take his video and go to daily motion or whatever you could only use this video and use his content re-upload it do whatever you want on YouTube YouTube's own terms of service date anything you upload to YouTube other people can do whatever the hell they feel like alright the license granted is it continued to be a commercially reasonable period of time after you remove or delete the content from the service meaning it does not matter it's irrelevant if you deleted off the service if it appeared on the service at any point it can be used you understand the degree however YouTube will may retain but not display distributed or perform certain server copies every video they've been removed or deleted so basically YouTube might not ever bring your video back they're not going to stop other people from bringing it back it has to be a commercially reasonable period of time Elden Ring isn't that old so it's fair to say that we are well within the commercially reasonable time of the Elden Ring product so that would mean that your video is still within there and then you have a right to monetize and all of that stuff and talking about your own personal stuff so what I find interesting in this obviously is that he's not only you know not correct in the fair you said he's also not correct in that YouTube would ever tell him to go after a channel for using clips from his video because YouTube explicitly states they can do this they explicitly state you are allowed to do this that by uploading your content to YouTube you give the right to other YouTubers to do that there's literally nothing that this guy can defend for not doing this but he doesn't he doesn't he doesn't stop there like this is what's crazy about him and and this really again the act man is the big the big culprit you're sorry I gotta drag this up quick I didn't actually prepare this I wasn't going to talk about it but dude the act man the way he's going after him is is crazy the admin but is by far the biggest content creator to call him out and it's just let's just I'm just gonna show you the Twitter feed this is insane so imagine being lectured on gun violence by a dude who has said that only 49 people were killed and I'm not gonna get into the politics here but look at this I reached out to your mother okay okay I'm sorry why oh when do you ever reach out to family that's harassment that's harassment this is beyond just false copyright claims you're harassing someone's personal life so I reached out to your mother to convey the severity of real world harm you have been causing through your social media actions basically I don't like that I'm being called out so I'm gonna get your mom on the phone your mom's gonna scold you mommy please take care of this for me please oh my gosh I had to as a grown adult go to another man's mother to get him to you know spank another grown adult like oh my god what is this guy doing what even is this I've never this is the level of stupidity I've never seen I know a threatened your mother or family no you only told your mother that he's a bad person and you should take care of this I definitely never issued a veiled threat but now you're calling for act rose to unite act mother's honor this is officially turned into a criminal activity this is a direct call for an uprising and a threat of gun violence against me which to be fair the ad man said if if he ever shows up on his property there's gonna be a problem which I mean yeah the ad man feels kind of threatened by him so maybe just don't show up at his house that that would probably be a smart move I'm just saying we've seen cases like this in the past where we're such things were we're threatened like when people showed up at boogie 298 us and then he literally fired a gun and I'm not saying that he showed up but it's one of those things that he warned him do not come to my house like that's private personal property do not show up at my house and he did so there's that these death threats are not okay which again it's a threat to protect himself by you invading his private personal space anyways and given the conversation I have with your mother I figured you leave me alone but there's yet another extremely manipulative post calling for unity as you threaten gun violence I'll be sending this to the authorities okay here he says I can confirm that quantum TVs threatening me and my family with doxing and violence even reach out to my mother saying and this is something the mother quoted we wouldn't want families to get hurt or involved in this as he's literally involving the guy's mother he's literally involving his mom but he's gonna have the audacity to say this I wish I was joking if we see you quantum we shoot on site and that's you know that that's just you know I don't know that I would go that far that's a bit extreme to say that but here's a text from his mom try it but not from anything he can connect with you mother says be safe mom says he's a nut so the mother is basically this is just proof of the mom basically saying hey this guy is not right there's something not right in here and then he makes veil threats of violence in his latest video around 1720 which again I'm not gonna watch any of quantum TV's content you want to copyright sharpening bro come at me it's not really it's not really gonna do anything you guys are going to get someone killed and that's what he says in there yeah bro it's gonna be you if you do anything can someone at YouTube access guy now moving on down we can see this is kind of cool or mischief has actually grown and become a bigger youtuber than quantum just in terms of subscriber growth so that's that's pretty cool that the whole controversy actually ended up being a positive mischief so then he put up a whole video about this which I'm going to link tomorrow link tomorrow link below and I'm gonna link some videos from review tech USA and said that this is something that quantum TV actually said this is on a reddit thread let's just read this let's just read this I want to thank everyone for sticking with me it's obvious most of these other reviewers like stop the FOMO digital trends and HD TV test are just Satanist and these are people that were accusing him of issues with his videos just his actual TV videos every time I see one of their videos you could tell they are trying to brainwash the masses into the gay liberal satanic atheist agenda this is quantum TV one minute someone could be watching stop the FOMO the next minute they start having anal sex with their dads doing coke and trying to conjure demons again these are people that criticize his videos and this is what he's saying about them satanic influences in a junk is obviously already when stop the FOMO ended by using the Lucifer logo to pray Satan and claimed he was just testing for blooming God I hate atheists and their satanic rituals what's funny and and and and other atheists out there we don't talk about politics and religion on here I'm rowing Catholic but but being an atheist is the absence of believing in religion which means you won't believe in Satan because to believe in Satan is a religious thing so I I mean I'm sorry you guys can correct me if I'm wrong about being an atheist but being the atheist is the absence of religion I don't really okay they didn't ask you keen from some Christians real good Christian behavior I'm almost ashamed to call you a Christian are you a Christian again not gonna get into religious stuff so there he goes into the perjury claims and all this stuff and what's what's interesting is that review tech USA proved another thing about quantum TV and that this is actually his second YouTube account he had a different YouTube account where he got banned for hate speech the channel was literally deleted by YouTube for hate speech which you I just showed you a example of what you could deem hate speech right there just a lot of people critiquing his videos and the thing is once you get banned on YouTube you get any account permanently deleted by YouTube it doesn't matter for what reason it could be a comment you made it could just be videos you upload it doesn't matter what the reasoning is if you get banned by YouTube you are not allowed according to YouTube's terms of service to make another account and especially make another account is uploading videos again his current channel right now is a banned evade channel it is I got banned on my original account I made a new account and I'm building this account up with uploaded content which is against YouTube's terms of service and yeah I think the biggest thing here is just trying to get YouTube to take notice I also want people I don't want anyone to go and go and attack quantum TV okay it's really not worth your time and I'm probably gonna join his shit list too for even talking about this but the bottom line in all of this is not that I care about what his personal interest are in his religious takes not that I care whether or not he's stealing settings from other YouTube TV content creators not that he's even copyright strike a single person for for for the Elden Ring stuff he's copyrighted so many people over the Elden Ring thing it's ridiculous and he's breaking YouTube's terms of service and these are the kind of people that show how broken YouTube is bro YouTube has an automated copyright strike system that anybody can use I can fall I well I can flag any video I want any video I want wait now if you put up a video that I don't like I can go flag it right now it takes three clicks three clicks and I can flag any video on YouTube and it will get taken down that's that shouldn't happen that's not how the system should work I understand YouTube is massive and has to have some automation to it but copyright claims copyright strikes are massive what YouTube should do is find allow anyone to claim copyright or copyright strike but do not remove content do not remove ad revenue until that claim has gone through the dispute process give that content creator a set amount of time say seven days give them a week to respond to the claim before taking out the content and I say this because that gives the content creator time to notice the claim content creator to decide to respond to it and the spot side if they want to dispute it if they don't dispute it after a week take out the content I think that's totally fair and that allows the automated system to exist and also gives the content creator time to dispute it before anything happens wouldn't it be grand if quantum TV comes and he copyright strikes this very video today and I get seven days to decide if I want to dispute it and it stays up the whole time it makes money the whole time just so I could you know go through the legalese and not have to worry about hey if this video is meant to be up it stays up I just YouTube there's a better way Susan Wojcicki there's a better way people like this shouldn't be able to get I mean the fact that he's being called up by these these big youtubers and it still hasn't had anything taken care of the fact of this person is talking the way they're talking threatening violence calling other content creators mothers how the hell he even got a hold of his mother I have no idea that alone probably took some doxing just to get the mother's phone number I'm just disinferiorates me and it affects all of us here on YouTube and yeah I don't really plan to talk about this much more we might we might bring it up briefly on the podcast tonight just because I want to get other people's thoughts I want to get Eric's thoughts I want to get Nintendo Academy's thoughts on this because this this impacts content creators but I'm gonna bring an attention to it because at this time nothing's happened quantum TV is still able to sit there and spew lies he's still able to upload his videos he's still able to just go go about his business nothing's happened YouTube's taking no action so the more of us content creators that draw attention to us the more likely it is that quantum TV's channel will finally get noticed by YouTube and I mean the innovating alone's enough to get rid of it false copyright strikes are enough to get rid of it that's without even critiquing his content so thank you guys so much for tuning in I'm the internal potential Nintendo Prime and I catch you in the next video
