PastryOfApathy Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Now there's a site dedicated to showing their subscriber count deplete in real-time. It's honestly shocking how fast it's dipping. Also here's a legal blog talking about this whole clusterfuck, for those who want to know how truly fucking terrible the cunt brothers really are.

GamingGal Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 I'm on the fence about this still. The way they described it in their "damage control" video is exactly what they're doing. It's much like a restaurant chain allowing people to run a single restaurant as part of the franchise. You own the restaurant, but you have their recipes and marketing signs and commercials to promote you. You're making money, but they're taking a small share for allowing you to use their resources. That's exactly what's happening here. The FineBros are licensing their SPECIFIC format, which includes everything you see in their multitude of series. Anyone can still make their own react videos and do it how they want, but you now have the option to go through the FineBros to have access to all the resources they bring to the table. Instead of having to start from ground zero, you'll be given the plethora of graphics they have as well as access to everything you need to start off well, not to mention you'll be put in contact with all of their subscribers. However, I don't see the need for them to copyright/trademark/whatever the specific words. Perhaps their style, yes, but the words? That seems a bit money-grubbing to me, as well as an easy way for them to take out the competition. Can't make good react videos if you can't have the right words in the title, you know? So that part has me on edge, and I'm hoping that they decide to take a step back and really look at the decisions they're making. I think ReactWorld could be a good idea since the community that follows them wants to be a bigger part of them, and that would allow them to film videos and whatnot, but I see no need to copyright words. I mean, can you even do that? It seems like it would be hella hard to get that approved. I dunno. I want to have faith in them cause I've enjoyed their videos since years and years ago, but this is worrisome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to have faith in them cause I've enjoyed their videos since years and years ago, but this is worrisome. this kind of reminds me of when T.Swift trademarked some of the phrases from her 1989 album among others. or when the company that makes those Candy Crush games tried trademarking the word 'candy'. it's all pretty meaningless. nothing really comes from stuff like this. people are gonna complain about it for awhile, forget it happened, and then move on to something else controversial. granted this is a little different since I guess someone's videos got taken down or has the potential to because of this but honestly, react videos are pretty boring in themselves unless you're reacting to something fucked up and then it's kind of funny but the FineBros do actually have a format to their videos that is unique to them but oh well, haters gonna hate hate hate hate hate :v Edited February 1, 2016 by willow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troj Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 (edited) Camo Rovak's furry reaction videos are great, largely due to the always-hilarious contributions of Twitch da Woof. In one video, Twitch complains about how he used to be the only person in the fandom who really liked to party and drink, and he goes on this incredible rant about furries at some convention eating at an Applebee's knock-off restaurant and drinking generic beer that "wouldn't fuck up your mom if she took it anally."

That won't do shit for them now. They DUN GOOFED. Also, an interesting thought (maybe mentioned in this thread already but I've been to glued to other sites covering this shit), but wouldn't the bulk of their videos be subject to DMCA claims, considering most don't fall under Fair Use or Derivative Work (and for that matter, all reaction videos across youtube)?

This is how anime streamers are getting away with (and ruining) subbed episodes of stuff, by overlaying their own reaction video on top of the other video. At least, that's the legal theory behind how everyone's doing this. Hm.... theory. Eh, I fucking hate reaction channels anyway. All I think of are a group of dip shits huddled around a screen making the most obnoxious, boisterous cackling at some twat reacting to a thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
