3. Canadian Viper Island is filling complaints against Sh4rk, 3POA for copyright issues on YouTube.
I've never heard of this guy... Can any one fill me in on what's going on with this and why this is the fourth time I've seen this Viper Island dude being talked about?
Legit, I have absolutely no clue what it pertains to.
Basically he has been accused (with proof) of using other channels content as his own and then copyright striking those channels to shut down any attempt to confront him. The biggest ones recently have to do with A Toy Kinda Mood and 3POA.
A Toy Kinda Mood did an interview with the Joe team at SDCC last year and VI used the video, but cut out anything that would show it was done by them. Then he also claimed/hinted at the video being connected to him with no credit given to A Toy Kinda Mood.
For 3POA the guy who runs it (Lazerpants) got, from a source, the photo of the Nemesis Immortal prototype heads and VI used it without credit and when he got called out on it he started copyright striking 3POA, Lazerpants and other channels that came to the defence of 3POA.
All in all it is pretty scumbag type of behaviour and what's worse is he is a Canadian who claims to have decades of experience in media (TV/Film/whatever). So he knows full well that he should be, at the minimum, giving credit to the sources of anything he posts that isn't directly his. However he doesn't and has gone scorched earth instead because the automated systems at the different social media companies allows for these kinds of bogus strikes without any real recourse that doesn't take weeks/months to resolve.
I had watched a couple of his videos over the years and thought he was pretty good. Although I did question him including his son the way he did (it came across as phony/forced). Now I couldn't be bothered, and that is saying something when I don't like 3POA or Analog Toys either.
