[@NerdArchives]

One if the worst things that piss me off is that KZbin is in cahoots with them too. Basically, it's a shitastic version of Cryptocurrency (that is another thing I loathe). Picture this.. You're big conglomerate big shot KZbin. You have moments overtime where you have your ups and downs. You have noticed that your revenue and channels haven't been doing hot. In fact, your slowly inching yourself towards the 'red'. Now, you can't be big and conglomerate without your cash to flex your mighty muscles. So, what do you to prevent your literal sailing wonder into hitting the bottom of the drink as bad as say.. The Titanic II? Simple. You hire more people. And when I mean people. I mean channels. As in, channels with no shred of dignity. Their content so bad, so lazy so heinous that it makes you wonder why they exist only to be used as literal hooked up things on milking machines. KZbin aims to squeeze every dime from those channels to make up lost time. That and to skim from the very top of whatever they've made annually. Sorry for the rant. But, I agree with you. Those channs should be called out. But, its set up as some sick game behind the scenes. Best not to pull back that veil.

[@zingo110]

@@NerdArchives I uh... Wow. You actually put it in a better way than I could've. Granted, yes it's to be expected that not only KZbin, but their parent company (google) would want to milk content farms while original content creators like emzie get the shaft. As it stands, that's a problem that's happening across a lot of platforms. TikTok also being a prime example of that, because unlike how you have to pay for youtube premium, TikTok gives people the opportunity to download content creators vids, and (with a bit of editing) remove the watermark with the content creator's @. These sorts of content creation platforms NEED better protections in place for content creators to fight plagiarism and content stealing in general. And yes, I know that KZbin's copyright system is horrible to say the least... Due to being easily abused by bots and plagerisers. That's why KZbin NEEDS actual people dealing with claims, not bots. But the reality is, they don't want to hire more people to deal with that due to it costing more money in doing so. All in all Nerd Archives, I believe your observation is absolutely accurate. But it's only the tip of a bigger and deeper iceberg of problems faced by content creators.

Homage is when you: 1. Tag the creator you are gaining inspiration from with their names and a thank you for the inspiration. 2. Sometimes people will show (Just like Emezie) A side by side snippet of where they took the idea from; as comparison. 3. Emphasis on the thank you, (Insert name of creator.) 4. Not asking for Permission from creator to use their work as inspiration. (optional, someone people are fine as long as you name-drop creator's name. But as you can see, many people DO NOT DO THAT.) Stealing content: 1. Taking ideas, claiming it is yours out of your mouth, in-print or on the project. 2. Not name-dropping the creator you gain inspiration from, it goes from inspiration to stealing. (especially if you don't say anything about inspiration.) 3. Making Money from someone's hard work. (without name-dropping or permission from creator.) I'm sorry this happened to you, Emezie... I'm disheartened. I have been with you for a proud 10 years *The other 2 I was consumed by DBSK* You inspired me to right; and make more stories for Black kids (minorities) to grow up too.), So to see people can take your LONG, LONG YEARS OF HARD WORK in under 3 hours as if it's easy; is disgusting.

Copyright infringement disputes are usually resolved through direct negotiation, a notice and take down process, or litigation in civil court. Egregious or large-scale commercial infringement, especially when it involves counterfeiting, is sometimes prosecuted via the criminal justice system. Shifting public expectations, advances in digital technology and the increasing reach of the Internet have led to such widespread, anonymous infringement that copyright-dependent industries now focus less on pursuing individuals who seek and share copyright-protected content online,[citation needed] and more on expanding copyright law to recognize and penalize, as indirect infringers, the service providers and software distributors who are said to facilitate and encourage individual acts of infringement by others. Estimates of the actual economic impact of copyright infringement vary widely and depend on other factors. Nevertheless, copyright holders, industry representatives, and legislators have long characterized copyright infringement as piracy or theft - language which some U.S. courts now regard as pejorative or otherwise contentious
