Youtube Community vs. Youtube Copyright
Sonic Paradox is proud to join the WTFU movement. When we recovered the channel we found out that 90% of the Sonic Paradox videos have been falsely claimed by a company in New Zealand who isn't related to Sega in any way. From the Sonic Shorts to the small Christmas Album video; all the revenue is going to this company.

Future releases such as the Sega Shorts risk copyright disputes from false claims

We use the YouTube revenue to make donations, convention panels for the community, and development of our videos. We agree with the community that our channels shouldn't be limited on the amount of appeals when there is no limits to the amount of claims we receive. Companies making many false claims should also be penalized for their actions as well.

This is Sonic Paradox and where's the fair use? Share your thoughts on the matter and spread the word, #WTFU.

Holy smokes. Can't believe the copyright claim system lets people get away with this kind of garbage.

Now WE'RE affected?? Craaaaap.

I don't get political. But over the past few days I've been really irritated about crap like this. I've been spreading the word and I won't stop.

Seems that we can't catch a break when it comes to the Youtube channel. It's pretty despicable that Youtube is willing to turn a blind eye to all of this abuse of their own policies.

I saw that above video from Doug Walker a while back. I have no idea what the hell's going on here with these companies abusing DMCA and the claim/strike system, but this needs to be taken care of.

The claims on our videos have been taken care of. :)

Turns out the claims were by the hacker when he still had control of the account. Since our partner denied release of partnership the hacker went another route to gain revenue by using claims. Thankfully the company that made the claims responded and understood the situation.

We need to keep fighting the good fight for WTFU though. The channel still gets hit by claims at random times. Fortunately, if you haven't heard, the CEO of Youtube responded to Channel Awesome's WTFU video: https://t.co/xLFmojjegI
So everyone's comments are making a difference. :)
