Digi.k · 11/20/2012, 05:55 PM

ah well my old youtube account has been disabled.. Started with a warning from Youtube saying Sega was claiming I was breaking copyright of Shining in The Holy Ark material and removed one of my SiTHA videos and then I had to watch this patronizing youtube cartoon about copyright followed by a Q&A anyway I passed it and didn't think much of it..

A Week later I find my whole account has been disabled.. I'll miss some of those privileges given from an 2006 era..

Without showing copyrighted stuff, there'd be nothing left but preteens being 'funny' and commercial advertisements.

Nice to see Sega involving itself in its classic games/series again.

I guess that they're so committed to being known for forgettable modern crap that they're covering up their past and burning the few remaining bridges left among their long time fans.

I'm curious as well. If it was just straight gameplay, how long was the video? Was it edited at all? I don't see how pulling the video would bring any dollars to Sega. Or prevent them from receiving any dollars if it stayed up.

It was just a 35 minute video of 70% of the music recorded directly from the Sega saturn game that I pieced together with some scans and pics taken from the game cover and manual..

Video had been uploaded for years and then all of a sudden a warning from Sega...

Usually these take-down requests are broad and issued en masse. It was "nothing personal" against digi.k...he was just caught in a wide net that FEKA threw out. FEKA clearly doesn't give a damn about the few folks who appreciate their legacy.

GOOGLE is constantly tweaking its ability to identify "problematic" videos and content providers are eager to monitor any possible infringement.

I wish Google and content providers made a finer distinction between videos, but I don't trust any algorithm to do it.

geise · 11/21/2012, 10:10 AM

Did they say HOW it infringed on copyright? I guess every video game video on youtube needs to be taken down then.

Superdeadite you better be careful. Sharp might get on your ass about your x68k videos. Then you'll have those doujin developers wanting you to take your shit down.

Digi.k I'm sorry about your youtube account.

SuperDeadite · 11/21/2012, 10:22 AM

Everything by Sharp/SPS is officially freeware. (This is why X68k emulators always come with the Bios file, and not seperate like every other bios based machine). Of course 3rd party games belong to their creators, so stuff by Capcom and Konami are not freeware. But this does bring up a weird gray area, as early ports of Konami games like Gradius and Salamander where licensed and sold directly by Sharp. While much later (91-93) Konami self-published 7 X68K games.

When I first read the thread title my worst fear was that Digi had indeed passed away!! Thank goodness that isn't the case.

Yes, I agree the Gaming community on yt is pretty awesome and this is a total shame to see.

Any chance you backed up your vids somewhere safe? I just realized I'm up around 500 uploads on yt, and I bet over half of them I deleted after I uploaded.....

I went to sign in to youtube to change the titles and tags of my Shining Force III videos and found that my account has been terminated.

I followed youtube's steps to file a claim or whatever they call it. They give you a form to fill out if your account has been terminated or disabled and you'd like to know why and/or have it reinstated. I used the form specifically for terminated/disabled accounts and afterward found an e-mail message from youtube saying that my message was rejected because my account is disabled.

Given how terrible youtube has been in all of this, I'm not sure I'll bother starting a new account for even non-Sega videos. I've been a Sega fan for 26 years, loved the Master System and began playing it when my best friend bought one at launch, then bought a Genesis, CDX, 32X, Saturn and Dreamcast at launch. I bought a Nomad and Netlink bitd, subscriptions for PSO GC & Xbox as well as PSU 360 and bought tons of games for all of their consoles at retail. Up till now, I accepted that the Sega I loved was long dead, but this experience has left mixed feelings about Sega in general... and that's is what really disgusts me.

Probably not all your videos, just the Sega ones. You could maybe upload your old Sega videos to blip and link your database to those new videos? Just a though.

_Paul · 11/30/2012, 12:17 PM

From what I'm reading only tyhe Shining ones are being targetted. If it spreads I might try unlisting them first, as I can still embed them in my site - it just means you can't find them in a youtube search.

I like the idea, but most likely nothing will really come out of it... : /
There's a thread for this over @ System11 shmups as well, so I'm going to quote some stuff:

Quote from: gregSome pickledick at Sega Japan, Fujii_Mutsuhiro@sega.co.jp, is going around on YouTube, arbitrarily flagging these videos for copyright violation. There is a Reddit article that covers this a bit. A thread on a Shining Force forum shows that many of these guys' YouTube accounts are being flagged for violation, and with three flags in a row. This has caused people's channels to be suspended.

Quote from: GaijinPunchNote the ".co.jp" in the email address. Good luck getting anything rational out of Corporate Japan. Makes even less sense than Corporate America if you can believe that. Do you see any Japanese companies truly embracing technology? Light years behind, and SoJ leads that pack I'm afraid.

Still, would like to see it be done :p

thesteve · 12/12/2012, 03:26 PM

and doesnt want any record of their past greatness. <---stupid IMHO

I heard it was a single person at sega that was flagging any shining force video,out of revenge or some thing.I guess they put a stop to it since they were getting bad press out of it.
