Rooster Teeth just pulled this off again.


While I don't care about the Angry Joe part, all I have to say is: "Seriously Rooster Teeth? These videos have been up for a while now and NOW you making a big issue out of it?"

The funny thing is this guy's review of RWBY, both volumes, is the lesser known compared to fatmanfallings's reveiws.



kalackninja's review of RWBY Volume 2 only have less than a thousand views and only a handful of comments combined while fatman's gotten over 35,000 views and almost a thousand comments on his. So why go after ninja instead of fatman? Is it because he was more mean when he called you out about your incompetence and stupidity during the production of RWBY, because fatman more of less did the same thing except he was much nicer about it. So why kalackninja?

Rooster Teeth did the same thing after Volume 1 finished premiering and back then I thought Monty(no disrespect to him RIP) was being a dick because he couldn't take any criticism. But now, after this, I'm pretty much convinced that Rooster Teeth are just a bunch of immature kids getting butthurt just because somebody criticized them. Guess what Rooster Teeth? You brought it upon yourself the moment you started working on RWBY, or probably further back when you first hired Monty Oum. I tried to warn you that you were going to destroy your reputation with RWBY but of course you didn't listen. You gotten so full of yourselves now you can't stand it whenever someone criticizes you for something as petty as this.

Why? Why should you care whenever someone criticizes you? Most other entertainment companies just outright ignore criticisms because they don't really give a shit, so why should you? If someone wants to talk shit about me, let them! That's their right! Do you see me freak out because they called me an asshole? NO! Because I don't care! You shouldn't either Rooster Teeth but you do because you got nothing better to do!

I'm sorry to say it Rooster Teeth, but you've lost my last bit of respect for you. I don't why you have to be pulling this bullshit again, especially after so long. And that's what this is, BULLSHIT, and you know it! You just don't have the guts to admit it. There's no reason, absolutely NONE, to act like this. I can only guess that you paid someone to pull this copyright claim so you would look like you're completely innocent when shit hits the fan.

I've been a long time supporter of Rooster Teeth, but this is the final straw. I've tolerated this for a while but I'm finally ending my subscription with them because I'm fucking done with their bullshit. I'm not going to continue supporting a multi-dollar corporation who can't learn to grow the fuck up. I'll watch and review RWBY Volume 3 when it finally comes out, but don't expect me say nice things about it.

I don't know about you guys, but this is just unbelievable. Why are they making such a big issue of this after so long? What the hell are they going to gain by pulling this stunt? Do they seriously think we're that stupid. If so they going have a hell of a shock when they start losing subscribers right and left because eventually people are going to get fed up with their bullshit and move on to something else.

Video is losing me very early on when the criticism for Angry Joe is "You're a whiny baby" despite I've still got fourteen minutes of complaining to go through. Leaves a bad taste in my mouth. It's pretty hypocritical.

As for everything else...Christ, no idea that this was going on. Granted I want to get as far away from this guy's channel as possible because every word that comes out of his mouth makes me roll my eyes...but still...I gotta do research.

Oh Christ, now he's stroking his ego. Out, out, I'M OUT! Ugh. I'd be more upset if it was just censoring criticism. But frankly it seems more like censoring a ****.

EDIT: NEVERMIND! Don't feel angry anymore. Guy below pointed out why I don't need to.

I sorry but you "tried" to warm them for their folly? Did you actually comment/ communite to them in one form or another??

Either way, so long, close the door behind you on the way out, I still be here watching and enjoying RvB and eager to see any upcoming RWBY development.

Also does this actualy means the OP is going to changed his/ her image now due to the mixed message (claim to hate the companies and series and yet has an icon from them or is it ok to still like a character from a hated company/ series?).

Does any of this really matters? Ray is leaving AH, only sadness remains.
And:
"Is it because he was more mean when he called you out about your incompetence and stupidity during the production of RWBY".

Yes. Criticism is not calling people incompetent and stupid, so if he used those words, he's not doing anything good.

And do close the door, is kinda cold here.

That's probably not true. I'll admit I have no proof of all other companies not doing it, but I don't think you do either.

I'm not going to continue supporting a multi-dollar corporation who can't learn to grow the fuck up.
I like how you put multi-dollar since they aren't a multi-million dollar company. Making them seem much bigger than they are.

I'll watch and review RWBY Volume 3 when it finally comes out, but don't expect me say nice things about it.

How can you claim that you won't support a company but will still watch a review a product of theirs. Or are you going to review it badly on purpose out of spite?
Seems a waste of your time, to be honest. If you're going to shun a company just be done with it.

The things I want to say about this person, but I can't say what I want!!!!

So the put it lightly a unknown, and yes this person is an unknown youtuber, gets a copyright strike on his RWBY review and thinks it's the worst thing to happen in the history of humanity. He then proceeds to think that it will be the biggest thing ever, blowing the whole Angry Joe out of the water. Yet he fails to realize that he isn't nearly as famous as Angry Joe, which means very few people will care, especially Rooster Teeth.

But just to spite him, I might go watch a few Funhaus videos and give Rooster Teeth some money.

Okay, maybe I got a little too rallied up with this and spoke out of heat when I said that I was going to end my subscription with Rooster Teeth. In truth, I'm not. I was going to stay until Volume 3 was complete and THEN, I repeat THEN, I was going to end my subscription if it disappointed me again.

I fully admit that kalackninja is a egotist and I agree that he is a bit of an asshole meaning that there's not much to like about him. But when you look at what he's trying to get at, a lot of it has ended up becoming true. How else do you explain Rooster Teeth behavior on this? The smart thing would have been just to ignore it and pretend he didn't exist but no, they had to complain about it like a baby and pull the copyright stunt. What is that going to prove? That what he's saying is a lie and he doesn't have a right to say anything because Rooster Teeth is always right and they can't do anything wrong? Is that what they believe? Is that what YOU guys really believe?

If that's the case then everything kalackninja was saying is actually true and Rooster Teeth doesn't want people like him to see his videos, not matter how egotistical or or dickish they are, and, I'm sorry to say, you're just blinding following Rooster Teeth and will defend them even if the truth was blindly in there.

Whether what he's saying is true or not, it doesn't matter. He has a right to say what he wants to say. Whether people believe him or not, that's up to them. The point I'm trying to get at is that Rooster Teeth has no reason to be acting like this, because all they're doing is shooting themselves in the foot by retaliating against something that's not worth their time, yet they are. Why? Because they don't want their fanbase to start thinking that maybe this guy is actually right about what he's saying.

So, I'm sorry for what I said earlier, okay? Obviously I've developed a bit of history with Rooster Teeth and RWBY these past two years.

WTF is going on? I have bad hearing, and this guy talks fast, and honestly no matter how hard I try I both can't understand him and pay attention to what he's saying. Can someone tell me what this guy's problem is?

Wait.... So you're saying there's absolutely no evidence to suggest RoosterTeeth had anything to do with the DMCA takedown, but it's totally them and we can't let them get away with it?

I think I'm a little underdressed for this party. Just let me... Get.. Ah? There it's is.


That's better ;)

Edit:
So now that I'm at home, and I don't have to struggle with the awful mobile experience that is posting to the escapist forums on a mobile phone I've done a bit of research.

There is actually evidence to suggest that RoosterTeeth lodged the takedown. The screenshot in the video says takedown notice issued by RoosterTeeth LLC which is the company name [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rooster_Teeth] for RoosterTeeth.

But if you look closely at the bottom right of the screenshot you'll see a section that says "claimant email: notifications@fullscree" That's wierd. That doesn't look like a RoosterTeeth email, so I googled it.

Turns out it's these guys [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fullscreen_(company)] I looked at their site http://www.fullscreen.com/ it seems as though they're kind of like a record label or publishing company for youtube, and hey, one of their clients is RoosterTeeth. I kept digging and found something akin to a promotional document [http://cdn.fullscreen.net/www/fullscreen_benefits/FullscreenbenefitsEN.pdf] which has an interesting quote

Once you're connected into our CMS (content
management system), we serve ads on your content by claiming your videos the same way you always have?
you don't have to do anything.
Maybe it's a leap, but if they're managing ad revenue by "claiming" the video they're probably managing copyright infringement as well. And given how many clients they have it's probably an automated process [https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/2797370?hl=en]

So... getting angry at RoosterTeeth themselves probably a bit misdirected.

And all that took like 10 minutes of google searches. I guess kalackninja needs to learn how to do a bit of research.

Considering there is no factual information on what and why was claimed I can't call one or the other side in the wrong.
However as far as I can tell kalackninja's entire channel is built around childish stupidity as entertainment, and I would not put it past him to use other peoples content for that exact purpose or more directly make all this shit up.

Okay, so I tried watching it again, gave up after 2 mins. I'm quite sure this turdnipple kalakninja just put Angry Joe in there for views. He mentions him for like 5 seconds at the start of the video. Clickbait much? That just immediately makes me want to completely ignore everything he says.
