![]() ![]() After several videos on his own channel, a number of other channels making videos about it, and Mark finally posting the brief voiceover on December 11th, somebody “high up at YouTube” reached out to him to have a voice chat. Mark then reached out through the proper channels to YouTube support, receiving no response. The longer version is that Mark received over 150 copyright claims on his channel from Toei Entertainment alleging that his videos broke Japanese copyright law. While YouTube has had various regional features for a while now, like with content that’s only licensed for use in one region, for example, this is the first time it’s ever applied regional interpretations of the law to Fair Use. If YouTube believes that it still falls under Fair Use in other countries, it’s still freely available in those countries. If your content doesn’t fall under one country’s Fair Use rules, then it just gets blocked in that country. But the video above essentially goes over the entire story and the final outcome explaining what happened.īut if you just want the TL DR version first, YouTube has essentially regionalised Fair Use (or equivalent) and how it’s applied around the world. Since the ordeal has been resolved, Mark appears to have taken down all videos relating to the events except for a brief voiceover in December thanking his followers for their support.
