He redid huge portions of his video after making his stack, seemingly to avoid having to make any real deal with the copyright owner. You seem to think that him rewriting entire portions of his video to be more legally distinct is a sign of "making good", instead of the bare minimum to avoid being sued after having already made his money.

Sorry to be this guy and I know this is pretty late and gay, but...

Isn't there an argument to be made that an article from 2018 (nearly six years ago at this point), has already made the money it would have made from its traction? While I am of the mind that Internet Historian should have properly cited his video (strange, because he's usually pretty good about citations), I can't help but feel like any money the article stood to make outside of the video had already been made.

I don't see why a video, essentially necro'ing an article from years ago that had already run its course would entitle the author to any of the video's revenue.

Also I'm pretty sure the article holder at the absolute most would be able to get the video taken down in protection of copyright, but I don't think he'd be able to show any damages that would entitle him to any revenue from the Internet Historian video. I doubt there's a huge cross over between people who watch IH's youtube videos versus people who read Cave Disaster articles on Mentalfloss.com

So if you make a 4 hour video about something being bad that automatically means you're telling the absolute truth, I guess?

Coming 2024, I'll make a long video about Pedophiles on YouTube and include Harry in it tangentially related to a bigger deal and then everyone can talk about how much of a nonce he is.

Hopefully the kids who decided to get their genitals mutilated thanks to his Donkey Kong fundraiser will find him and see how he likes it.

Very good argument, I like this cause it's the reasoning jim sterling gave as to why piracy is okay especially rom distribution and Jim sterling is best buddies with Harry. It's also the argument I make for the same thing so fair.

Generally difference between homage and plagiarism is the fact that people who make homages are blatant about it. Homages in art generally are done with the in hopes that the audience recognises the source while plagiarism is done in hopes that the audience cannot recognise the source. Sampling in music also works the same way. It's a subtle difference which relies on the author's intent itself and that generally pans out pretty accurately depending on the situation. Also homage accounts for less than 50% of the final product while plagiarism accounts for more than.

Can I just point out how fucking funny it is to me that literally the only person people are talking about in this 4 hour fucking tombstone of a video is Internet Historian.
Not to mention the entire back and forth is basically:
"He didn't cite a source!"
"Okay, but he did what was needed to resolve the issue."
"But he didn't cite a source!"
How did you fucking freaks get nearly 30 pages out of this?

We're also talking about James Somerton too, but I think it's the fact that no one here actually cares about the other people Hbomberguy talked about (saved maybe AVGN).

I genuinely wonder how much of Harris content fails his plagiarism smell check, people have said he plagiarized several posts from a fallout forum for his fallout 3 video,, but I haven't seen anything definitive.

AIDSbomberguy would argue “nuh uh! That’s just sourcing!”

Arguably, giving things including ideas AIDS is a transformative talent, but I’m not sure it’s actually covered in section 230

Directly reading someone else's text word for word and passing it off as your own is definitely the same as "stealing" ideas like the hydra lol. Ideas like knights and skeletons and melee weapons didnt exist until the evil dead. A lot of these things predate both berserk and evil dead and most of these dont even make sense.

Like hes pulling a chainsaw cord with his teeth and guts is holding a bandage in his mouth its not even the same shot let alone the same thing:

This a common medieval torture method:

I think there is stuff to criticize about the IG segment but a lot of people don't seem to understand that he just straight up reused the exact same content, structure, and even entire lines from the article. I wouldn't be shocked if the article was his sole source on the subject. Since when he included an original segment he couldnt be bothered to actually find something new about floyd collins to share. I like IH and I like him more then harris doesn't change the fact that IH fucked up this time and framing it as a copyright issue makes it seem like the other party is at fault due to youtubes history with false copyright claims.

It could maybe vaguely skirt by as transformative in the same way as Hasan watching other peoples videos and making inane comments is but it's still plagiarism and someone (either IH or one of his writers) knowingly copied the content and style of the article without credit when it would have been very easy to give credit originally meaning that person obviously thought they could get away with it or didn't understand you can't just copy people word for word. He did make it right after the takedown (depending on if he made an agreement with the copyright owner or if he just edited it enough it would be harder to have a clear cut case). He doesn't have to make a massive cry post apology but he could have explained the whole situation and said "my bad I made a mistake" or "it was a ghostwriter who did it". It could easily be an honest mistake but not just saying that makes it more suspicious. Just because he is le based 4chan post recounting man or the accuser is a commie, soyboy and visited by the norwood reaper with an agenda doesn't change that.

One thing that does actually need a 25 hour exposed video is that annoying voice youtubers do (You know the Chills voice where they emphasize every word to sound more dramatic and do a rising intonation like a teenage girl). It's becoming more common despite being pure cancer and making any video unwatchable even if it has the worlds best poolister winning citations. It might even be worse than those text to speech videos made by pajeets to buy their village a goat (for immoral purposes)

James Somerton had the benefit of being know by most people outside of the fag-overse as "The annoying essayist who called every movie queer coded and shitted up your recommendations for a day every month". So its no surprise his section is getting looked over by the vast majority of viewers.

The fuck has this thread become, 15 something pages in a day after being barely active for so long. Breadtuber shit rarely gains traction but this thread has been shit up so much by the plagiarism debate. One front page feature, that's all it took. I like shitting on Harry but I don't like it anymore.

I think it's one of the two:

1. Null posted his opinion so people need to be contrarians and fight with him because "lol look how deranged null is"
2. People are unironically simping for a youtuber and they're fine with that because they like his content.

The only person he owes this to is the original content owner, which by and large based on the lack of any lawsuit in sight for either copyright infringement or plagiarism, has likely already been done.

Apologizing to breadtubers is just stating to the sharks that blood is in the water.
