Content

So the video hosting site we posted videos to for years has terminated every link we have every shared... Got the news via email a little bit ago. I don't even know exactly what shows are impacted by this but I know most of the early content since that's what we used when we started here. This is a HUGE issue and I will figure out a solution.

I’m not a paying member here on Patreon so I don’t see the content anyways but I’m wondering how come you guys and some other creators don’t post your videos via the Patreon player itself but instead use other sites to host your videos?

We do use the Patreon player now. It didn’t exist back when we were first uploading.

Champion Productions

Oh okay cool to know. I also know you guys do the watch along and don’t show the movie/show footage on Patreon whereas some others do. I’m wondering how the decision for that is chosen and what the best choice is?

AngelicasDelight

Ah man that's gotta be beyond stressful! Hopefully you're able to get things back to normal, good luck!!

Emily S.

That's awful! I hope you can figure something out.

It's a copyright law violation so the decision is easy for us... no one should ever be showing the full show/movie, especially today knowing how serious it is.

Champion Productions

Yeah I figured, thank you for the additional reply! And I have a final question if you’re open for it, if copyright is in place for content like this then how do you do your posts on YouTube? I’m confused how one’s supposed to go about this since people such as Brandon Likes Movies got into complications. I don’t even know if you guys are or can be monetized or not on YouTube.

That's a little more complicated but the easiest explanation on what makes reaction videos safe from copyright is: 1) the video has to be transformative 2) it can't do damage to the IP and 3) can't serve as a substitution for the original source. So for us, by chopping the content up and removing a bunch of it and providing commentary throughout, we we following copyright laws.

Champion Productions

Got it, and I assume you guys post your videos to private or unlisted first to see if it gets copyright claimed then if it does go back to the editing board until it’s clear to be uploaded. Or you guys just post it regardless of being claimed because the content isn’t monetized on YouTube anyways. I’m guessing it’s one of the two.

Scariest thing moving to All Digital! Every old schools Fear!

Meggerz

I’m sorry to hear that! I hope you are able to get everything straightened out.

nikkistevenreact

correct. I always wait till the video clears the checks but even still, IPs can still manually claim/block videos. not an enjoyable process.

Dallas Adams

Nooooo. I was on the last season of Black Sails!!!

Audra Muncy

Oh no that's terrible. They should contact you before just doing that

Carrie Smith

So sorry to hear that! Try not to stress. Good things happen to good people and you guys are the best!

Was wondering what happened, i was watching your Ozark reactions cause i had never seen the full length reactions to them, was on season 1 episode 5 and went to watch it and it was gone.

Zeph

What.. wow that sucks.. so many things I still wanted to get to

angie808

I'm sorry, Steven. I hope you can get it back. With all the hard work you put into your editing, that sucks bad.

Frank

Damn so sorry to hear that. I love catching up on older reactions I missed. Hope the solution isn’t too much of a pain in the ass for you guys.

Jeff Lunan

My wife and I just started season 8 of Game of Thrones with you guys, we have been rewatching the old series because of house of the Dragon. Fingers crossed you can get things fixed!

Struzzylive

Ya know what sucks? Is I finally Joined for the full cobra Kai reactions :(

Struzzylive

My bad they’re still here lol

nikkistevenreact

on a bright side, which isn't much I know, this issue won't impact the new season

Chaos T

This f'ing sucks

Champion Productions

Just saw you posted an update video, sending you guys support that must suck, just wanted to ask a question that I’ve been meaning to ask some creators for a while now and it seems to be for the bigger creators like you guys who don’t have the fair use disclaimer in their YouTube video descriptions and I just wanted to ask if that disclaimer is pointless to basically include onto your videos.

nikkistevenreact

I think it's pointless - IPs are going to claim/strike channels if they have a disclaimer or not

Champion Productions

Thank you for the quick reply, yeah I figured that. I am almost entirely asking these questions because I myself am interested in being in the movie/series reaction space on YouTube but as I was doing research I’ve heard some scary things to say the least that can come out of it so I’m just confused on if I should do it or not and how to navigate it safely if there is a safe way.

Struzzylive

I mean, There’s always the “ unexpected results “ :)

Crystal Santana

Hey btw you guys should watch Weak Hero Class 1 it a great show or From !!! It would make me happy 😊

Andrea Bunting

It's hit and miss...I noticed there would be one but the next video would say not available. The thing that socks you can pay a website to have a place to post but if they decide to shut down you are out of luck. I did a memorial for a friend. Paid for life... then it was gone.
