YouTube discussion

[jerseyfla 210]

So I sporadically make videos on my YT channel (Jerseyfla). I have a lot of playlists on my YouTube channel that are public and private. I specifically made one for different TV station sign offs from areas that I have lived in my life and military career.
 

Recently, I decided to make a nice piece of “nostalgic ASMR” if you will, something TV junkies can go to bed to, and create a montage of those TV station signoffs from the different regions I have lived with a title slide saying “It’s Bedtime In ________. Let’s Signoff”. I didn’t credit the YT channels I captured the material from by name, just saying “Credit to the YouTube Channels who posted these sign-offs. This video is intended for nostalgia and fair use. No copyright infringement is intended.” Last night Drew Techner who posts a bunch of TV and Radio airchecks from Philadelphia and NYC commented on my Long Island and Philadelphia Signoff videos with time stamps that I stole signoffs from his channel. I commented back stating that him accusing me of stealing his videos is the same as me stating that he stole them from the station he posted them from and that there are many montage videos with News Opens, Station IDs, and Signoffs on YouTube and I am not making any money off of any of my videos. An hour ago, I received a copyright strike on my channel for using some of his signoffs in two of my videos. What is everyone’s view on this? I see nothing wrong with it. It’s all copyrighted material owned by the station groups, not him. Heck, I even told channels who post chronological news open montages “Here, you are missing mine”. I mean if it’s a one for one entire video reposted and taking credit, yes that is over the line but when you use pieces of it that’s another thing. Should I fight it?

Usually when I download videos off of YouTube, I keep them for private use.

 

From now on, I would ask the user(s) before reposting clips on there.

You definitely need to ask permission and credit appropriately in the description, and be kind about it or remove the video. 'Credit to everyone' might be fine for a 10 year-old's Roblox video but you're already playing with fire with compilations without credit; there are others in the space that have ruined it for everyone and just swipe without mercy, and it's always rude and uncalled for.

How many compilation videos of local news opens especially the major market stations from NYC, LA, and Chicago have any mention of every channel they took clips from? Nearly none. And I bet 90% didn’t ask permission either. I think Drew Techner is just sore about it and doesn’t get the nostalgia purpose behind it. He doesn’t make money from it and nor do I. Also my Publix Holiday Commercial Mega Montage made it to a couple of newspapers recognizing its nostalgia to Floridians. Publix’s marketing team never had a problem with it.

Thought I'd keep this thread alive to let the gang know that Kev The Ripper's YouTube channel is the latest to go down due to copyright issues. Hopefully he'll come back.

Copyright trolls strike again

For those like me who randomly look for new news videos or just certain new archived videos in general by title, YouTube just did an update and got rid of the sort by “Upload Date” feature. So now this will make looking for new news videos harder unless you are subscribed to a certain channel. 
 

A totally unnecessary update!

Not necessarily-- it still works with me.

This is what comes up on my phone when I filter my search.

I am annoyed with this update as well!

Not to my liking

Re Kev's suspension... This is why I am VERY cautious on what gets uploaded to the AVTB YT after losing thousands of videos on my personal accounts in March 2021. Most entire sitcoms w/ commercials are off the table entirely, unless there is nowhere else to put them (and I'd rather they go on the Archive instead). Soaps too, most go to Archive except for the Sony/Bell soaps, which sit in my personal hard drive for anyone to enjoy...they can't be enjoyed online for a general audience.

 

With all the Roku channels, why hasn't Sony launched Classic Y&R, Classic Days of Our Lives, Classic B&B, Classic Wheel, and Classic Jeopardy! channels yet for streaming? I mean...you can watch Family Feud all day long, same w/ Supermarket Sweep. Maybe instead of hiding them from the general public and taking down any uploads from those who are trying to preserve these episodes for nostalgic purposes, launch a bunch of streaming channels or even work with a subscription service (like Paramount+) to release classic soaps to long-time fans. My mother would LOVE classic Y&R episodes available at any time. P&G has left ATWT/GL alone, for the most part, on the other hand.
