Nobita (Find your love in Japan) COPYRIGHT STRIKED my channel!

Nobita is a petty lowlife, and here's why.

Last year, a few days before Christmas, I

received a copyright strike from a

Japanese guy called Nobita who runs a

YouTube channel called Find Your Love in

Japan. Now, I know this happened quite a

while ago, and I was going to make a video

about it earlier, but because of the whole

situation with my dad, Um, it got delayed.

You might already know about this because

I've talked about it on livestreams quite

a few times, but just in case you didn't

know, here's basically what happened.

Last year, a few weeks before Christmas,

I made a video titled Tube News, and then

I made fun of a bunch of YouTubers:

BenDeen, Rachel and Jun, Chris Broad, and

also Nobita. And in this video, I used a

couple photos of Nobita One of them was a

thumbnail from one of his videos, and I

just made fun of him lightly, didn't

really say anything that really meant

anything. And then a few days later, when

me and my wife went to the airport to come

back to England for Christmas, we were

waiting in the airport and I was checking

my YouTube analytics, and then I noticed

that the Tube News video got taken down.

I quickly went on to my YouTube account

page and I was greeted with the big red

page that you get when you get a strike,

a community strike or a copyright strike.

And it, and it said that Nobita had

issued a copyright strike against me for

copyright infringement on my Tube News

video, and it had been taken down and I

was given a second strike. It was pretty

scary because if you remember, at that

time I still had my cockroach strike, so

this was my second strike. I was freaking

out in the airport. Getting really worried

about getting a 3rd strike. A 3rd strike

would mean my channel gets deleted, and I

was deleting a whole bunch of videos that

I thought might be dangerous, that could

get me a strike. And I was just panicking.

I was in this utter state of panic and

worry, and I thought I was gonna have a

mental breakdown. I quickly sent Nobita

a message over Skype, which he obviously

ignored, just just like he ignored last

time. And then I sent a message, an email

to his YouTube email account asking

him why he gave me a copyright strike. I

waited a couple of hours, but then we had

to get on the plane to Hong Kong to get

our connecting flight to London. And it

was a horrible 6 hours on the plane of me

just worrying about what would happen if

my YouTube channel got banned or if I

couldn't get the strike removed. I did

appeal the strike using YouTube's

copyright strike appeal system, but I

don't think— I don't really— I didn't

really have much confidence that YouTube

would help me out and take my side,

because if you think about it,

technically I did infringe his copyright

by using his photo. Anyway, we landed

in Hong Kong after about 6 hours, and then

I quickly logged into the airport Wi-Fi.

And I got a reply from Nobita,

thankfully. And basically he said,

um, I would prefer it if you didn't use my

photos in your videos. And here's a

screenshot of our emails. I had to blank

out his name because Nobita isn't his real

name, obviously, and had to blank out his

face, otherwise he'll copyright strike me

again, probably. So this is what I said on

the 23rd of December. Hello, this is

Daniel from the Hiding in My Room channel.

I received a copyright strike from you on

one of my videos And I would like to ask

you to retract it. I did not use any of

your video footage, only a screenshot of

your video thumbnail. And then Nobita

says, I'm sorry, but I would appreciate it

if you would not use even just the video

thumbnail that shows my face, not just the

footage. So he thinks it's okay to go

around giving people copyright strikes

just because they use a screenshot of his

face. How stupid is that?

And then at that stage, obviously I was

kind of panicking because I thought he

wouldn't retract the strike. So I start

going into begging mode and I said, okay,

I'm really sorry I didn't ask for your

permission. Would you be able to retract

the copyright strike? I won't use any of

your photos again. This is a promise. And

I also sent another email in desperation

pleading. I said, you didn't have to

strike my channel. And then I think I

said, if you just asked me, I wouldn't— I

would have taken down the video myself.

And then thankfully he replied to me

saying that he just retracted the

copyright strike now, and then he even

apologized to me. He said, sorry, I should

have just asked you not to use it. So you

might be thinking, well, if he retracted

the copyright strike, then what's the

problem? I'm very thankful that he took

away the copyright strike and he said

sorry, but that doesn't take away from the

fact that he gave me the copyright strike

in the first place, does it? You can't

just go up to someone, spit in their face,

and then say sorry, and then wipe it off

for them, and then not expect that person

to not be angry about it. You can't just

go up to someone, slap them in the face,

and then say sorry about that, and then

expect everything to be okay, can you? He

still gave me a copyright strike, and he

still caused me all of that stress, and he

forced me to take down my Tube News video,

which I spent half the afternoon making,

and I'm not just gonna let that slide. I

think everyone needs to know how petty he

is. On— of all of— out of all

of my time on YouTube, I have never heard

of anyone copyright striking another

channel just for using a screenshot of

their thumbnail. I mean, how pathetically

childish is that? I also think it's kind

of hypocritical of Nobita, because if you

go onto his channel— I won't show you

because he'll copyright strike me again

for even showing his thumbnails— but if

you go onto his channel and you look at

the videos he makes, guess what? He's

using videos and clips and pictures of

people and other YouTubers that he

probably hasn't asked permission for. If

you look at one of his latest videos,

he's bashing some girl called Maurena in

Japan, and I'm pretty sure he hasn't asked

her if he could use her clips or her

picture. And I think Morena should give

him a copyright strike and let him have a

taste of his own medicine. Um, now if you

remember last year when me and Nobita were

making hate videos against each other,

let me just quickly explain why that

happened. It was basically because we had

a Skype call interview about 40 minutes,

and he said to me he was going to use the

footage in future videos, and he only used

5 seconds of it in one video. And I was

pretty disappointed, and I asked him for

the full Skype conversation video,

but he ignored me. So I made an I Hate

Nobita video just for fun where I

basically just, um, I just regurgitated

some silly points he usually gets

criticized about, and then at the end I

asked for the video footage. It wasn't a

serious video, and I even told him myself

that I don't really hate him, and it was

just, just a silly video made for fun. I

think he took it way too seriously because

he then made a response video to it trying

to expose me as a liar, and then he

accused me of making stuff up for videos,

which is all a load of rubbish, and his

proof didn't really hold up. It was just

silly screenshots. Anyway, I got what I

wanted and I got the Skype footage. Um,

what is the point of this story? Oh yeah,

the point is that in his videos he made

against me, he used pictures of me and he

used footage clips of my footage without

asking for my permission. So what I'm

trying to say is he thinks it's okay to

use other people's footage and clips and

photos in his videos, but when someone

else tries to use his photo, he copyright

strikes their channel. And then I started

to think, why would he give me a copyright

strike? Because earlier that year when I

was using his clips and his video footage

to make my Why I Hate Nobita video. He

didn't mind me using his face then. He

didn't copyright strike me then. He didn't

copyright strike me until later in

December, and luckily I took down my Why I

Hate Nobita videos because I was a bit

suspicious. I was worried that he might do

something like this, and guess what? I was

right. I'm pretty sure if I still had my

Why I Hate Nobita video still up, he would

have copyright striked that as well, and

then my channel could have been terminated

if I got 2 copyright strikes and the

cockroach strike. So good thinking on my

part to take that down. So I kept

thinking, why would he be so against me

showing people his face? It's not for

privacy reasons because he obviously

doesn't care about people knowing what he

looks like. He, he shows people his own

face on his own YouTube channel. So if you

think about it, there's only one reason

why he would strike my channel. It's

because he doesn't like me. And he wanted

to hurt me or to damage my channel in some

way, and he used the flawed copyright

strike system on YouTube to do it. It's a

very petty move, and honestly, I feel kind

of disgusted that a fellow YouTuber would

use such dirty underhand tactics to hurt

another YouTuber, especially someone like

Nobita, who also uses other people's

clips, videos, and photos in his own

videos. I think it's a bit hypocritical.

So I started to think, why does he hate me

so much? And the only reason I could come

up with was, you know, all those people

who have this massive hate boner for me,

I think they contacted him and then told

him a bunch of stuff about me and he just

believed it all. He just believed it all

like the gullible sap he is, and then he

decides to start hating on me as well

based off of what a bunch of strangers

just told him. I mean, how easily can

someone be manipulated like that? For

someone who's so obsessed with looking up

statistics and showing bar graphs and

charts and percentages on his own videos,

you would have thought that he wouldn't

just take the word of a bunch of strangers

who obviously hate me a lot that easily.

And especially coming from him, someone

who's also a public figure on the

internet, who's also hated by a lot of

people. He should know, he should know

what the internet is like and that you

shouldn't just blindly believe everything

that you hear. Anyway, it's a shame it's

come to this, and I just wanted people to

know what he's really like. And if he

doesn't like what people are saying about

him, he will try his very best to silence

them by using copyright strikes against

their channel. And if he thinks I'm going

to stop talking about him just because I

can't use his photos anymore, then he's

very, very wrong.
