...how do we know that something like Game Sack isn't next?

I could only hope that comes to fruition.

Wow. What the fuck did they ever do to you?

I really just can't get over this because it's all kinds of fucked up. You hope they get shut down.

Because they use clips.

Goddamn.

[Luke]

Goddamn.

You assume too much. I don't hope they get shut down because they use clips.

How on earth can one interpret

...how do we know that something like Game Sack isn't next?

I could only hope that comes to fruition.

...as anything else? You hope they get shut down. That is exactly what you said.

oh look, it's back up now.

what.... WHAT?...

YouTube's policy with video game footage has got to be the most confusing legal matter ever. I'm happy to see his channel up and running again, but what? Why did they have to go through all that trouble?

My guess is Luke probably works for IGN, i dunno i cant rationalize any other reason.

Copyright infringement removal is largely automatic when triggered. They take down in order to not be sued for having it up. Once they reviewed it, however, they likely decided it was well within the bounds of fair use.

Hey. Remember when I said people maybe jumping to conclusions?

[smurdd]

I see one video is now missing. "Public Domain Horror VHS Art"
I guess that's what triggered it.

What other conclusions can be made? You believe that you must get permission from the creator to make a game review, so what creator would ever give permission to someone who might give their game a bad review? Making reviews pointless.

There was a guy running around claiming to be responsible for getting the account taken down. He was mad about the Cheetahmen II kickstarter thing or something.
