Remember that lovely racist comment I got on the General Butt Naked episode? Well it turns out that arse features ripped my video, added some in-video notes and posted it as his own - where it has more views! AUGH
I flagged it as "infringing my copywrights" but I'm not sure what else I can do (other than start a useless flame war, I guess?). It's not the end of the world but it certainly gets up my ass a fair bit!

maybe he would get less view if you... didn't link his video in your post?
I don't think he was trying to steal from you, if it makes you feel any better! After all, the end of your show mentions your name and links to your website. It reminds me of when I post webcomics in my own blorgh, assuming that folks won't consider me the architect!
That being said, and especially since you're a young, up-and-coming hotshot, if he left proper credit to you in the sidebar portion where he simply offered a few racist remarks?
Well yes but I reckon the few hits he'd get from here won't make that big a difference in the disparity.
But yes, Shawn, I'd say it is still theft - just really lazy theft. He couldn't be arsed to make his own video, so I'm sure he was equally non-plussed about editing mine. If he wanted to share the (my?) wealth then a link would have sufficed! Also yes, the unwelcome racism.
I wonder if this is one of "McCain's Mob"?
I don't know. I am perhaps a little more laid-back about the thing because I see videos being passed around YouTube users and stations all of the time. It seems to be a part of the... culture? But my point was more that he wasn't trying to pass your video off as his own work, regardless of whether or not he is actually stealing. If - if that helps!
