The universe hates me.

From being forced to coaching which will lead to a reduce filming schedule, to now being hit with 5 back to back DMCA strikes by Eric Green aka Remove Your Media.

He's struck

Maquia: When the Promised Flower Blooms

Fate / Stay Night

Castle in the Sky

A Silent Voice

All of Death Note

I'm anticipating more coming through since this seems to be delayed as these were filed on the 2nd September. I thought we'd got through unscathed but apparently not. What this means is that the content will be down whilst the counter notification is filed for around 10 US Working Days.

I'm running on about 3 hours sleep (thank you insomnia) as well as having to deal with these strikes so the content I was going to film is going on the back burner for tomorrow.

JJK and Spy x Family will still be posted tonight.

There will be

1 Demon Slayer

2 Monster

Founding Titan

this Friday and Saturday - that will bring Demon Slayer a week ahead of YouTube.

My intention is to double post Breaking Bad from next week. Whilst we might not have one this week due to dealing once again with DMCA, and I don't have the time to fit everything into filming tomorrow, we will have 2 episodes next week if god forbid the universe leaves me alone.

I'm literally about to cause a Shibuya Incident.

sorry to hear this Sophie, I hope it'll get better and I'll always be supportive no matter how you might have to change your content because of this though hopefully not as this situation sucks.

All my homies hate Eric Green

DCMA is such a broken system

Word on the street is that the green is bitchmade

These big guys coming after little creators just angers me. Do they not understand what happens when the people lose the bread AND circuses?! 😒 I'm sorry you're going through this, Sophie, and I hope it gets resolved soon. And I hope you take heart in having a supportive community around you, myself included! ❤️

TeddyBearBonfire

Sorry to hear. Take your time. Personally, this is why I'm very much in favour of sync-up style uncut reactions (at least as an alternative/secondary upload), even if some people don't like having to sync things up. It's worth it to have an intact reaction at no risk of takedown because it contains no or negligible (e.g. highly blurred video which you use to sync shot changes) copyrighted content, so there's nothing there to target (even with false claims).

Dr Sophie Darling Reacts

Tbf they're still getting striked haha! A few reactors that were being hit on Patreon were watch along / sync up. Doesn't stop the takedown attempts

Anime watchers truly are the most oppressed group of all 😔 . Seriously though, this sucks to hear, Sophie. I hope this can be resolved somehow, DMCA bullies are the worst.

Hezer

Yeah, as Sophie said, it doesn't stop the attempt. They're using automated systems to make the claims, that possibly don't even check if there's any copyrighted content in it. It just makes it easier to defend the takedown attempt, when there's actually no copyrighted content in that video.

Hezer

I knew that I shouldn't throw away my old toilet brush. Eric Green has a lovely place where I can store it for the eternity.

Isaiah L

What's even worse is, the person that is causing these strikes is a fraud. He's not even the owner of the content and has no right to copyright strike it. He needs to be imprisoned.

WondrousMay

I’m sorry that you have to deal with this on top of everything else at work… I really hope things work out for the best 🙏🫂

Dr Sophie Darling Reacts

Please don't spread this misinformation Isaiah 😭 He is acting on behalf of the legal IP holders. He isn't claiming to own the rights. He's acting for the rights holders who have contracted him. On their directive he can strike reactors which is what he's doing. The company is a legitimate one even if their operation doesn't distinguish between a genuine DMCA and disenguous one. I don't know where people got this idea that he's a fraud. The company and its contracts are very much legit even if the way it's operated is disgusting.

AzureSkies

So uncalled for, I hope everything will get better soon, and that the universe gives you a well-deserved break because this is insane.

Leah Henderson

I was thinking more of Sony and "Big Corporate" in general. They could try just letting people enjoy stuff instead of going after every dollar missed out of their billions. 😮‍💨

MatStuff

i was actually so confused lol. i was about to press on episode 15 of death note, and was wondering where it went

Coqnbauz

I've heard that removing all mentions of a series' name (including in the title, description, and in the video itself) manages to dodge YT's ai detection

Isaiah L

Oh wow I had no idea, thanks for the correction. For some reason a lot of reactors were claiming that he was illegitimate.

Chris Walker

What a weaselly little shit. Sorry you're being put through this Sophie.

Aldryx_Thetahart

They even got Patreon?! What the fuck is this dude’s problem!

Buzzard

Oh Darling, my darling. I wish I could reach through the internet and give you a big hug. If anyone needs one right now it's you.😿

Jack

It's because he struck people reacting to Pengiunz0 claiming that Viz Media (the company who hired Remove Your Media) owned Charlie's face and content when they do not. EDIT: This first paragraph is false, apparently YouTube screwed up which made it look like they were claiming Charlie's likeness. Also there has been confusion as I've seen some creators saying they asked for proof he is acting on behalf of the rights owners and he basically told them to keep their stuff up and find out in court. He isn't just claiming react content either, he is going after people making fanart and just talking about anime with no images at all. Even polls on YT and allegedly comments have been struck too(not seen anyone post actual proof that comments have been struck). He has even struck BleachBit, an open source disk space cleaning software who actually own their own copyright and licensing agreements with users. It is likely going to end up going into court. I can't wait to hear him explain how a software that cleans up space on your pc is using stolen anime content. "The AI messed up" is not a valid response when asked by a judge why you made illegal copyright claims.

Dr Sophie Darling Reacts

They are a legit company. How they're operating though is ridiculous and borders on illegal. It's due to using an AI model and not actually verifying properly. They struck a video of CawCaw reacting to Charlie because CawCaw's title mentioned Naruto. Which, the series, was being struck all across YouTube and Patreon by Remove Your Media on behalf of the studio. Trust me - I know more about this as I'm in the react discord. We all know it's a legitimate company. How they're operating is, however, DMCA abuse.

Violet

I'm sorry, Sophie. Will send up prayers that things go in your favor 😩
