This Million Sub YouTuber Steals from Smaller Creators

[@HOLLASOUNDS]

@@SYNTHERROR404 There is not Law against copying thumbnail idea's, there is only legal action if there is a image that is copyright owned. Example I take a photo of My hand and My computer and use that in My thumbnail then someone takes My thumbnail and use it in there thumbnail, that would be copyright infringement.

[@greg_one_izm]

@@HOLLASOUNDS That's not entirely correct... If the thumbnail was "created" by someone, as soon as it is created, it is protected by copyright. Sure, the "idea" of that kind of thumbnail isn't protected.. But that's like saying the "idea" of hardstyle isn't copyright protected, but each song within it (although similar) IS protected. Which like.... duh... The thumbnail its self is a piece of art in the eyes of the law, therefore anyone using it must make significant changes so as to not infringe on the original creators rights.. Basically the stolen thumbnail gotta look VERY different, be intended as parody, or intended for use in an education setting. A good rule of thumb to use is if the general public cant determine any differences between the thumbnails then it's most probably copyright infringement.

[@MegaMichaelPhone2]

I saw Game (busy works beats) at a grocery store in Quebec yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything. He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?” I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front, I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying. The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first, he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter. When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.

chopping off the grid is perfectly feasible because you can just make the chop(s) unique and time-stretch it/them to match the tempo via the playlist and/or the sampler wrapper. both are extremely simple to do lol. i'm pretty sure there's some other ways to chop off grid too, but they take a bit more time

[@BigStereoVR]

Weaver: I was born into a studio in 1978. I made my first tape in 1980 by crawling down to the studio, threading 1/4 inch tape to a reel to reel, setting up a stereo xy mic config, turning the record switch and proceeding to complain that I couldn't reach the cherries on the studio bar. I'm pretty sure fuckboy's son can press a 45 button on a turntable.

[@kriss12loverap]

Thats not true BWB has allot of good vids. Yall Are weird.

[@HOLLASOUNDS]

@@kriss12loverap He does have some good video's but He doesn't value quality over quantity and in order to rush out videos He is cutting corners and copying other people, or giving bad advice. No beginner is gona have a clue what He is going on about in that "How to cut samples" vid, He is overcomplicating a simple task because He hasn't done his research on what is currently available in terms of doing that task. 1 Tap tempo works great in My DAW takes 2 seconds its always correct 2 His of grid cutting is ridiculous, all you have to do is go to your DAW play the sample externally then tap tempo and then drag that music you just used to tap tempo into your project. No time time stretch no off grid BS needed.

[@SaintMichaelOfficial]

Nah fr. 3 years ago when I started getting into music production, Busy was one of the, if not the first, tutorial channels I came across. At the time I was using Cakewalk and dabbling in Studio One, still experimenting with DAWs whenever I got a chance to use them. Ngl, for the first few months I was rocking with his content completely unaware of any kind of behind-the-scenes politics. Eventually as I branched out, took courses, etc, and settled on the DAWs I would eventually purchase and keep long term, I'd caught wind of the man behind the camera via talking to other people in the space, Reddit posts, etc. I haven't returned to his stuff since, and Weaver's constant roasting of the guy kills me every time lmao.

There are better uses of your time.

[@Music-tg5is]

There are countless better KZbin tutorial channels than Busy Work Beats. Many of which predate the creation of his channel by several years (since he's only been around for the past decade). Most of the other FL Studio and music production content by other creators has FAR more useful, accurate & concise information about learning both FL Studio and music production in general. As someone who has used FL for over 20+ years myself, I have never personally required channels like his to learn the DAW as I was already a proficient user of the software for over a decade before channels like his started to become popular. However, when those channels did start to spread, it became very obvious to others like myself who had already mastered the DAW, that it is very easy to impress and exploit complete beginners, who themselves are eager to learn how to use the software, simply by possessing more knowledge thereof, than they have. And that's how most channels like these gained their popularity. Through exploiting naïve new producers who lack knowledge of the DAW, rather than on genuine merit of creators such as this guy. Busy Works Beats has always been just a "Type Beats" BS demo channel, rather than a genuinely constructive and useful tutorial, or original content creator. That's not to say that there is nothing a beginner can't learn from his channel. But rather, that there is nothing that anyone could learn from that guy, that they couldn't learn FAR easier, faster and much more concise elsewhere. Since there are countless other YT channels available, from which beginners could learn more about using FL Studio in a single day, than they could by watching everything BWB has ever spammed on his channel, over this past decade. His content output is not even respected by Image-Line, the developers of FL Studio, themselves. A great developer which DOES regularly acknowledge genuine producers and constructive content creators in that community. Which should inform any person interested in learning how to use that DAW, everything they need to know, regarding his BS Type Beats channel 💩

[@maschinelab8598]

I started watching BWB like 10-11 years ago. I was a production illiterate back then, and he was one of the few around the genre I was leaning towards. After a couple of videos I couldn't watch anymore. He was genuinely bad, not only his music, but his teaching skills and projection...all of it. I understand why he can have 1m subs (he's been here for a long time) but I also understand why he only have line 1000 views on new videos. I have to thank him though because he opened my eyes to understand that not everybody that are saying they know something can no know shit about it.

[@DappsTheProducer]

Busy doesn't have personality people generally like. (Introvert life). That's why he doesnt have good idea's. When i watch others, they put their personality in their videos. But busy tends to hide his emotions. You cant tell who he is one bit thats why his videos cannot be relatable.

[@Weaverbeats]

I''m actually an introvert too. I learned how to adapt with being on camera over the years. I watched some videos of his from 7+ years ago and he actually seems much more humble and likeable. I do not know what happened to him.

[@TRVladdy]

I find it funny how people just recently have been realising just how bad BWB is. Even back then, he stole simon servida thumbnails/Titles with less accurate content within the video. Remember, he was one of the first people who spread the god damn Soft-Clipper on master myth, raising a generation of new producers who still ruin their progress with it. Also, can y'all help me out? Remember how, especially in earlier videos, he always claimed that he worked with a ton of popular artists like Drake, Kanye, or any popular rapper at the time. I tried to find his portfolio online, but all I found was a LinkedIn page. His name wasn't mentioned on ANY song. Am I too much of a boomer to use Google properly? Or did he lie to sound more credible? Can anyone tell me a single semi popular song he is credited under?

[@sussyjagras]

He still says that he worked with top artists and also billion worth companies lol

[@bromanjoint]

I genuinely think busy is just crazy, the eyes say it all. Thing is, as soon as someone comes up with 'advise on how to make it', people generally ignore the bad stuff... He's literally the Andrew Tate of producing....

The BWB black hole. I thought I'd escaped. Really enjoyed the lore about his kid flipping that sample also, when he counted along with the sample and was like "2, 2, 3, 4 slliiice". The bread metaphor was another highlight. Guy is unreal.

[@UncleBenjs]

For bpm you don't need software or a website. Just a timer. Start the timer and the song at the same time, and count the number of beats for 30 seconds. Multiply the number of beats by 2 to get the BPM.

Theoretically, if I average around 1 view per video, if I just post 6 million videos a day then I'll reach my goal of 6 million views every day.

[@SuperObvious]

Whats kinda sad is that when I got my first pc and started making beats for my channel and needed to be taught the basic info on music production.. Busy was like my dude. He seemed hardworking, smart, and had so much knowledge. Knowing he is stealing content from smaller channels is such a shame. When he had the "beat battle" with Curtiss King and treated it like a joke is when I lost respect for him even back then.. its crazy man. Your awesome Weaver and your vids are informative of whats going on and funny as hell. 10:42 reaction LOL

[@SquizbarDeAlienOfficial]

I don’t think you’re being an asshole. I think you’re just being honest

[@WilliamAshleyOnline]

Navie D is a pretty nice guy I don't think he would get super stressed by BWB copying his style but BWB dropping a bunch of content on Navie D's PLUGIN will probably go a long way to help that. IMO this is probably just BWB crushing on Navie D's style and that is probably a compliment in some form. IMO copying common themes IS SUPER common on youtube like there are 100% groups of youtubers who regurgitate the same content themes around the same time. This is not only done in music related youtubers but lots of other topics. A knife halloween themed. Chrome is gimped now due to google trying to change internet surfing behaviors to force adviews and google advertising data analytics location tracking etc.. its farily easy to disable those things in firefox and for google related internet to still work (currently) in chrome they are being designed to break google services unless you use the google tracking and advertising they want to force on you. I am using fl cloud right now to make a beat.. and I got to say that it is probably within a large chunk of hip hop culture of sampling to take other peoples work and repackage it with their own signature.

[@WeaverBeats2lol]

He is a nice guy, but he was also considering taking legal action specifically about copying the course.

@@WeaverBeats2lol Navie D needs to contact that Music Attorney Girl.

[@WilliamAshleyOnline]

​@@WeaverBeats2lol yeah I get what you are saying - I am an always aim to bring good into the world rather than karmic balances and antihypocracy. Geuss I see doing what is good is better than making someone recognize what you feel they are doing wrong. I think it comes down to that I don't think people will truely ever be able to have the same meaning as someone else so it is about fostering good intentions in people rather than acting based on an emotional response to your interpretation of something. I do understand your ethnics on this though, but it really comes down to doing what you think is right not telling other people what is right. None the less its your channel if it is within the terms of use its really your prerogative just like busy's. I think he is big on giving credit where it is due but I also see what he does as bringing more awareness to things. I don't support not giving credit to people for their contributions but I do think that people should be free to express themselves as long as it isn't infringing other peoples freedoms to advance their own interests. I think calling out hypocracy is good but it can be hard to guage intentions. Like ultimately what are the intentions behind the action, and what are its results, then what is the actual value of the action not just the appearance of the action.
