Internet Historian Appreciation Thread - The best thing to come out of Austrailia since Mad Max (The original, obviously)

[Jotch]

He's worse than Hitler then!

Hitler would have hated 4chan, so anyone who uses 4chan is worse than Hitler.

 

[Professional Noticer]

This is not fucking copyright infringement, its transformative. You can't copyright a format and idea. You can only copyright the work you do.

Imagine all the stories that had follow the hero's journey. Guess what, that's a format, you can't sue people for using it. Even Star Wars uses it.
Same with people using variations of "A Journey to the West". Dragon Ball is one of the most popular animes of all times and it's just a reiteration of this shit.

Even if the format or/and idea were stolen (which I don't doubt), IH and his team still did the whole video with their own style which makes it his own transformative work.

I hate this shit because this retard is lumping this nothingburger to do a hit piece on IH, while putting it on the same level of Sniperwolf and Xqc.
Those 2 actually do copyright infringement and get away with it for years because the system is fake and gay and YouTube just wants money so they don't care.

Copyright is so gay, it should just fucking die honestly.

 

[Swole McPole]

You guys are operating on a 7th graders understanding of plagiarism where you just control C control V an entire article into an English paper.

To be fair though, that's pretty much exactly what the faggot in the last half of the video was doing.

 

[God's strongest milkman]

Having read a lot of the responses under IH's latest tweets I've come to the conclusion he should plagiarize someone else's apology video word for word to double down and spit in their face. It's nothing but pornsick faggots being passive aggressive and smug. If he does he will be the first YouTuber I ever give money to.

 

[Dalinar]

I imagine IH will probably put out some response to what happened, though I doubt it will be a groveling apology like Hbomber wants.

As much as I would love to see an IH response video, I highly doubt any statements will come from their end. From the channel's early history it is easy to tell that most of the people working on the channel are terminally online like the rest of us and are most likely aware that Hbomber is a massive faggot not worth acknowledging.

 

[PuffyGroundCloud]

IH should make an apology video and put NordVPN ad on top of it
Bonus point if he "sneakily" inserts hbomber face

 

[Chug Smuckle]

it tells you something that no one gives a shit or is talking about the other subjects in the video.

 

[Manah]

This is not fucking copyright infringement, its transformative. You can't copyright a format and idea.

You can copyright a script, however.

Newfags here are so simple they can't even tell when they're the marks getting conned for ad shekels.

I imagine IH will probably put out some response to what happened, though I doubt it will be a groveling apology like Hbomber wants.

Apologizing would be a dumb move unless he thought there was a big audience overlap that would be swayed into unsubbing from his patreon by the video, which I doubt.

 

[Doctor of Autism]

Watching the video, I think IH will be fine. The only creator in the long term that would even be hurt by it would be that gay guy Hbomberguy attacked for 2 hours straight.

 

[Rome's rightful successor]

Plagiarism is a real bullshit concept especially when it involves with people talking about real life events. Journalists plagiarize each other all the time in order to create an echo effect on lodging the same talking points into the public conscious but they never get called out on it but it is somehow only a problem when Internet Historian does it. Give me a fucking break. There is absolutely nothing wrong with quoting or getting inspired by someone else's writing. The only thing Internet Historian did that might have been wrong was not fully citing sources.

Oh no there is only so many ways you can describe a real life event without sounding similar to how someone else described the same event.

This comment section is extremely autistic. There's so much milk here.

There is nothing original under the sun. If I made a generality statement it is almost guarantee someone else has already said that at some point in human history.

 

[Useful_Mistake]

If IH made it clear from the beginning that the video was either a retelling of an article or using the article in the first place then it would be transformative similar to what react tubers make.

That's not how transformative content works. You don't need a disclaimer for it to be transformative. Though his videos do feature such a disclaimer. Every single one of his videos features a "fair use, not my content" disclaimer. For example, here's one from the first video before the man in the cave one:

Hitler would have hated 4chan

Once again, Hitler is right.

I've come to the conclusion he should plagiarize someone else's apology video word for word to double down and spit in their face.

Okay, that'd be funny. Totally the wrong move, but funny.

Apologizing would be a dumb move

Apologizing is always the wrong move, unless you are in Rekieta-type situation. Very rarely does it make things better on the internet.

Hbomberguy

Speaking off, who even likes him? His most famous video is the fallout 3 critique and that caused fallout 3/4 fans to hate him, and his latter retardness caused the fallout nv fans to hate him. He made RWBY video, but both RWBY fans and haters don't really like him. He made a vaccine video or whatever, but I can't imagine people cared about that either when his earlier content pissed everyone off his channel.

 

[Royalty Free Fish Food]

Watching people on the internet jumping to gargle IH's balls is funnier than anything the Hbomber video did.

 

[God's strongest milkman]

He made RWBY video, but both RWBY fans and haters don't really like him. He made a vaccine video or whatever, but I can't imagine people cared about that either when his earlier content pissed everyone off his channel.

He is the quintessential commie faggot video essayist. Everyone you would imagine being into that are his fans. Which is one of the reasons IH is probably safe just to ignore it, that and the fact the man in hole video was already fixed far before and credits the guy because they already worked it out. Anyone still wanting to raise a pitchfork because of the fags video probably wasn't a keeper anyways.

 

[Serbian Peacekeepers]

I am not saying he will Apologize, In fact I expect the exact Opposite.

If IH and his team responds, I imagine it will be a explanation of how the writing process happens and why the Original video copied so much from the Mental Floss article. I do not expect a "Sorry" to anyone except Mental Floss if any apologies are given. IH and his time don't seem like the kind of people to make a unironic apology video.

 

[BrainSand63]

IH makes entertaining content. Even if he plagiarized the article, he still had to make the whole video to go with it. Copyright is gay and overused by companies these days anyway.

Just seems like a moral outrage hit piece to me, especially coming from one of the most insufferable people on the Internet.

 

[Fluoxetine Man]

Internet Historian: 'Apologies...APOLOGIES! What IS an apology, and why did this Socrates guy get his buddy Plato to write his? He could've just recorded it to upload on youtube! If sorry is the hardest word to say, why do people get upset when I say ni(THIS VIDEO IS UNAVAILABLE). Are your favorite influencers truly regretful, or are really double agents of remorse! If telling lies is wrong, why do I have to apologise for reading out FBI statistics?! All this and more, on In The Field!'

He'll probably make it and bring his Storymode crew and start shitting on the topic.

 

[Namekian George Floyd]

While I actually don't agree with copying shit and just changing a few words without giving credit to the original, it seems like the issue was fixed before anyone could even talk about it so if you couldn't find other cases then why bother bringing it up? Let's be real, nobody actually cares about this, they just want to give IE shit for not being a leftist and this is their only justification since he otherwise has a clean record.

 

[SheepEnthusiast]

Stealing content from journalists is based, and I like IH even more after seeing this. And Hbomer is a ugly nigger

 

[Ego]

Don't let the breadtuber retards know that almost every video on youtube is just some guy reading a news article, forum post or wiki page. Now we're gunna start seeing all the lore, iceberg, lulcow, game coverage, and political commenters on youtube just get bombarded with "wow I really enjoyed this until I found out its plagiarisms ((((((((("
Really gunna have a shit hit the fan moment if they find out all the new star wars films are just old EU lore but worse.
