hbomberguy / Harry "Harris" Brewis / Slazenger Rapemachine Whiteshaf - "Rational" SJW, former SA goon/LPer, sexual harassment apologist, raised $350K+ for child abuse cult

[Day of the Cope]

All the people trying to argue about if what IH did is or isn't plagiarism when the person he "plagiarized" seemed to be happy with whatever resolution has the same energy of basic white chicks going "... and this is why black people should be offended by this". Honestly, few things are more pathetic than sticking your nose in an ordeal between two grown adults and giving your unsolicited opinion. You know, the same kind of internet moderator mentality that makes me want to feed Discucks and predditors into a fucking meat grinder.

Of course, people who know better than this are also aware there's a difference between the letter of the law and the spirit of the law.

Hasan Chair is making the reaction today and Hbomber is not going after him for this. Breadtube are going to breadtube. If anyone know how to clip this so we can archive it, do it.

I think Null suspects that the person he plagiarized isn't happy with what happened, or at least no longer has the power to be unhappy about it because IH sidestepped the issue by taking the original video down and replacing it with a non-infringing, supposedly inferior equivalent (there is no difference in quality between the two versions of the video).

I have not completed whole video, but from what I gather there's no mention of any of the various channels that just grab green-text posts from 4chan or reddit comments from certain subs (D&D, pro-revenge, etc.) and provide audio narration. They're not outright plagiarism in that they often show the original post in the background or shoutout the name of the user account that posted it (or the post number if it came from one of the chans), but to the extent those videos are transformative, it's significantly less so than the IH video in question. Maybe those channels get permission from every single poster they include in their video so there's absolutely no risk of getting hit with a copyright claim, but I doubt that all of them do.

If IH came out with a video of Romeo and Juliet made with his own narration, animations, etc. and never credited Williams Shakespeare as the author of the story would anyone actually care. I don't think it would produce the 40+ pages of autism that we're all wading through now. Even if unspoken, it's obvious that the only reason anyone gives a shit about the plagiarism is that there's money involved and that some copyright holder might have been left out.

As for HBomb not spending more time on Hasan, he can always make the claim that Hasan is a Twitch streamer and that this video was about YouTube content creators, which sounds snake-in-the-grass enough for the smarmy cunt to use as a deflection of any criticism. There are YouTube clip channels that take Hasan's streams and produce YouTube videos from them, but Hasan doesn't care if anyone repackages his already stolen content and gives it away for free on a different platform. Other content creators have already done a better job covering how much of a rat the roach is anyway.

Man, this shit is so small potatoes to the content farms side of Youtube. The amount of "animation" channels that basically steal whatever Flavor of the Month character The Kids These Days are into (currently Pomni from The Digital Circus) and create something that is, at best, completely generic or, at worst, the most degenerate shit you will ever see. Now, I have no issue with people drawing from popular culture and putting their own spin on it; if I had an issue with it, than I might as well protest the black metal scene for that reason. But those channels are basically trying to maximize their metrics to appeal to as many children as possible to make a quick buck.

Null is just looking at it objectively. IH is guilty, as evidenced by his response to the party from whom he plagiarized. If he wasn't guilty, he would have fought it. The only plausible reason he didn't fight it is because he knew he was guilty. It's clear and cut. Null is absolutely correct.

I won't be like Null and say you're stupid for not realizing this, it's really difficult to side with Harris on this one, but look at it this way: you're not siding with Harris. You're just siding with where the facts are.

Harris is a pasty balding faggot, but in this case he is a technically correct pasty balding faggot. If Harris told you fire was hot, it wouldn't make him any less of a pasty balding faggot. But it doesn't mean fire isn't hot.

 

[Day of the Cope]

If he wasn't guilty, he would have fought it.

Or, more likely, IH realized that trying to fight a corporate entity with far more money and resources than he could ever dream of wasn't worth it. Mental Floss is owned by Minute Media who have a nine-figure annual revenue and hundreds of people. They also have an R&D center in Israel. Mmm.

So, it's more likely that IH just thought it was easier to just cut his losses, edit the video, and move on instead of either getting a strike on his video or involving the legal system on a fucking Youtube video.

It's called "picking your fights".

I can't be the only one who thinks his hair slid down his face and now hangs from his chin. You could literally photoshop his... beard... onto the top of his head and it would look like a proper haircut. Someone with talent needs to photoshop that shit and prove me right.

 

[JUSTCHILLIN]

I could not imagine anything more inconsequential and useless than "queer analysis" of media. The idea of people making careers out of trying to say the Alien movies are actually metaphors for sucking cock is truly absurd and couldn't happen in any other point in history.

No one gives a fuck either, and they give so little of a fuck that James was able to copy all of this shit word for word presumably hundreds of times. Gamers? Now there's a group who cares a lot. Some nobody tries stealing from other nobodies and gets cooked internationally. James, though? He got away with it until the brightest possible spotlight was blasted at him, because nothing less would cause anyone to give a fuck if he stole a segment about the purple lady from The Little Mermaid being a drag queen or some shit.

Man, I haven't seen fruit-on-fruit violence like this since those Annoying Orange analog horror videos.

That's how pornfried their brains are. Anytime two characters of the same gender show any sort of friendliness, they're automatically fucking, in these people's minds.

Ironically they destroy one of the letters of these alphabet people (asexuals/aromantics) by doing these kinds of analyses

It all comes back to what I said to begin with; Harris is only ever technically right. He's like that cunt in class who would tattle on the teacher for every little thing. Even if he was justified we all knew he was just doing it as some kind of power move.

He got away with it until the brightest possible spotlight was blasted at him, because nothing less would cause anyone to give a fuck if he stole a segment about the purple lady from The Little Mermaid being a drag queen or some shit.

In complete fairness, I've heard it said that Ursula was based on Divine; the fat drag queen that was in all those John Waters movies. So everybody thinks that means Ursula is super queer coded and not that Disney execs looked into the eyes of an obese transvestite who starred in some exploitation films and thought "hmm, that's a good design for a villain".

He didn't fight them because it was cut and dry. It has nothing to do with big corpo, it has everything to do with IH thinking he could get away with copying an article without giving credit for it. If you lie and you know you've lied and then someone else figures out you've lied and they have clear undeniable proof of it, the only fathomable reason you would fight back is if you're retarded or you have an inflated ego.

Frankly, I'm starting to think IH is retarded because giving credit to someone else seems like it should have been the easiest and simplest thing to do. This just begs the question how many other content cows are filling up their troves with uncredited plagiarized material just to make ends meet and satisfy YouTube's hideous algorithm. And nobody is the wiser because, like KiwiFarms, people on social are becoming less and less objective and more and more reactionary.

It could be like others have hypothesized, that he has a writing team and they're partially responsible for the fuckup, which is probably the most generous explanation. It could also be that IH is getting too big for his britches and thought he could get away with it, which is odd seeing as he's credited his source in other videos. Or, who knows? Maybe IH has some undisclosed personal vendetta against MentalFloss and plagiarized them out of spite.

 

[Day of the Cope]

He didn't fight them because it was cut and dry. It has nothing to do with big corpo, it has everything to do with IH thinking he could get away with copying an article without giving credit for it.

Or he assumed that his video was transformative enough that it would constitute fair use.
Or he assumed the parts he was copying was akin to copying the listed ingredients to a recipe which can't really be plagiarized. It's half the reason cook books are as thick as they are.

That said, it feels like you're approaching this with the idea that IH must have done this out of malice.
Of course, I have my own bias but I'm not going to let it cloud my judgement.
Yes, IH should have given a citation if for no other reason than to shut up people like you who didn't give a fucking shit about this until Harris made a fucking video about it.

That's what really gets me about this whole thing: it's a months old situation that has been resolved, drudged up by someone with a chip on his shoulder, and now repeated ad nauseam by people who who didn't know anything about this a week ago. Now we have people asking IH to... what, exactly? Edit the video? Cite the original article? He already has. Or do you want him to grovel on Twitter and flagellate himself live on air?

Honestly, I find it quite amusing that for someone who complains about people repeating things word for word, Harris' fuckhead fanbase is doing the exact same god damn thing. You're all frauds. Everyone can see it. We all know you're full of shit. Go fuck yourselves.

Maybe those channels get permission from every single poster they include in their video so there's absolutely no risk of getting hit with a copyright claim, but I doubt that all of them do.

I personally don't consider these plagiarism as the posters are almost always anonymous. Another big component to it is all of these videos show the original posts on the screen and just read over them. So there's no attempt to pretend that the words you're saying are your own, you're just reading the easily identifiable text on the screen. For example here Brendaniel is very clearly reading off a 4chan post and does not pretend like he originally wrote it.

This is very different to Iluminaughtii or James Somerton who would read words aloud from another video pretending that it was their own by not attributing the original source. But here the original source is always on the screen.

While you could consider this not transformative enough I'm personally of the opinion copyright should allow you to make and publish things like unauthorized audiobooks or translations and sell them but that's just my opinion.

Regardless of whether or not he was right or wrong, I can't see this having any affect on IH. He'll probably just ignore it and everyone apart from the ultraspergs will forget about it in a couple of weeks.

Because IH only did it on a single video from a year ago I suspect he's just going to ignore it and wait until it blows over. Which it probably will as IH doesn't upload that frequently and people have short memories. He can also just throw someone under the bus like Justin Silverman did. Eventually the only people who will bring it up will be other leftists who don't watch him anyway.

I'd say it's more that Harris has cyclist energy. They may be right that bicycles are vehicles and legally deserve access to riding on the highway, but it's still retarded when you look at it with common sense.

He (and cyclists) also often work to actively annoy people rather than help work towards some mutual understanding because they have an axe to grind. They make themselves lightning posts for rageposting as they're taking a holier than thou approach to arguing, which is what makes them come across as so obnoxious. Remove the sanctimony and you'd remove the outrage (which in twinkdeath victim's case means getting fewer clicks on his video).
