And then someone has the audacity to copy the audio track instead of finding their own original track that no one else has used yet, and doesn't even ask permission from the track's author Mitchell as I did.

HEY GREAT JOB on the edit but why did you kinda rip off the song I used which I was given explicit permission to use from the musician who made it... and you weren't? But.... no.. will just talk about the idea of saying that... behind his back... cuz.. that's the "classy" thing to do right? lol fml.

Okay firstly this is star citizen so yeah not everyone is nice there are some who want to steal. Kudos for producing content If you stick to shit posting like me, surprisingly no one wants to nick it. I think you way is better but this way when I get disappointed I have only money investment in pixels to lose!

I though You tube had a rat them out policy on copywrite but heh I shit post what do I know.

 

[DirectorGunner]

Shit post life = zen life
zen life = know nothing yet all knowing
Shit post is life :beers:

I guess youtube always strikes and bans videos who use music without permission. So, i think that's what gonna happene.

And by the way, this was the first time i saw your video, man, i can't explain the feelings i've got watching it. It's beautifull man, beautifull. Very good video!

Well... Mitchell finalized my exclusive license agreement and let me know what happened.
The guy asked for permission earlier TODAY and wasn't clear on the situation.
Mitchell was upset about it too.

Video will go down shortly.

That's probably the best outcome, without having to go crazy about anything.

Dude has to respect intellectual property...

IF the fraud received anything from CIG, then they should have that stripped from them. IF all they received from CIG was credit for the video, then I think CIG should either add to the page that his vid is listed at, that he stole the idea from your vid & used the song without the expressed permission of it's author. Then drop the ban hammer on the copycat from being able to post anything to CIG from their account &/or IP.

Regardless of this, I think that the copycat / thief should be doxed in such a way that anybody who would consider working with this person on a ships crew would know that they have a dishonest personality. I would call it poetic justice if their theft caused them to find SC to be a very lonely place long term.

 

[Sirus7264]

I'm glad you were able to claim your rights lol that other guy has already 100 downvotes 30 upvotes. Your video was very emotional very well put together i had to show my wife so you got 2 views from me!

 

[Talonsbane]

Your video is far better than the copycat. Your vid obviously got my up vote while theirs my down vote. I was down vote #100 btw. LoL

 

[Wolfy]

Yeah, the video is down on youtube and off the Citizen Spotlight page.

*EDIT: I got the chance to watch your vid, great job man. Enjoyed it quite a bit!

Welcome to the internet, where nobody owns anything.

Welcome to the internet, where nobody owns anything.

I took a picture of a pen, once. I posted it on a photography forum in their monthly competition and won a mug .

A few months later I was bored and reverse-google-image searched the picture. Not many people had stolen it, but amongst those who had was an erotic fiction writer and blogger. They were using it as their online avatar - you'd have thought an erotic fiction writer would have had more imagination than just having a boring old pen as their avatar. A bum, for instance. Or a pair of hairy testicles.

They obviously preferred being a writer over being erotic.

That worked out just fine! :D

 

[Takeiteasy]

Now make a video that looked like his and use your music.

:)

I know I'm mean but as long as you don't use his footage it's all legal and correct.
