Where is anticonsumer ?

Jul 10, 2007 - Thats a good point Congest. I try to give them the benefit of the doubt but eventually the profit motive will smack right up against "leftist" ideals. Profit trumps all.... at the moment. Hate using terms like right and left by the way. Not that simple.

Jul 11, 2007 - It would seem that First Rate Features filed a copyright claim against anticonsumer for posting their video on Aristide (I got this info from housebrand on one of my videos). I've written to YT to ask if this was the reason for AC's suspension, and if so why this was necessary rather than just removing the offending videos. I've also written to FRV to get their perspective.

Jul 11, 2007 - sweet... good work peter ...interested in frv's response

parispeter2 Says:

Jul 11, 2007 - Correction...FRF, not FRV (First Rate Features) who have a page on YT.

Requiredfields2 Says:

Jul 12, 2007 - I watched the Aristede film (10 min. at a time)and it was one of the best and most incendiary things I've ever seen. The point is, if AC hadn't posted it, I never would have known even to look for it, let alone seen it. And a search for First Rate Features turns up nothing on YT.

parispeter2 Says:

Jul 12, 2007 - Uhhh no, he's still there - I just checked.

parispeter2 Says:

Jul 12, 2007 - Ah yes - sorry that was me. Jeez, must have been tired! First RUN features. But FRF is a small prod company which has the right to protect their vids, else they can't make any more. They told me in a message that they only asked for the Aristide vids to be removed, not the WHOLE FUCKING ACCOUNT. This is where YT has to explain itself now, and I hope others will also demand that they do so immediately.

parispeter2 Says:

Jul 12, 2007 - That's "First RUN features" not "first rate" - sorry about that. (+ see my response to requiredfields2).

Jul 14, 2007 - Good work ParisPeter is there any way of requesting First Run Features to send a message to YouTube Requesting that anticonsumers account be brought back?

parispeter2 Says:

Jul 15, 2007 - Good idea assaultive bear - I'll try that now.

SCODgreenhood Says:

Jul 16, 2007 - Good question *****

Requiredfields2 Says:

Jul 16, 2007 - You know, since the anticonsumer hasn't even bothered to weigh in on this tempest in a teapot yet, who really gives a fuck anymore? I'm sure AC is savvy enough to launch a lot more protest than it's done so far...which is absolutely jack shit. So, fuck you anticonsumer, and thanks for the memories.

parispeter2 Says:

Jul 17, 2007 - Yes that is bizarre - and annoying. But this goes beyond a personal issue. The important point is that the 400 or so videos which AC posted are no longer available to the millions of YTers. And that YT seems to be using the slightest pretext to close down accounts which it does not like. So we should continue to protest on both these points - to get ACs videos back, and to enshrine the right to free speech (within obscenity, violence and hatred limits as it's accessible to kids) on YT.

scoobeee Says:

Jul 18, 2007 - We have made a bit of a fuss. Kinda surprised we've gotten no response directly in one form or another from AC. Hopefully he's on a month long vacation from digital technology or something. Maybe a secluded thai beach bungalow with no computers for a while.. maybe an opium den even. Ahhh.. Anyway, youtube is far less interesting without him these days. Total shame.

parispeter2 Says:

Jul 18, 2007 - See my new video "Anticonsumer flushed down the YouTube" and ProFreeSpeech's new page.

Y2ANJ Says:

Jul 18, 2007 - I subscribed to his videos. I was looking through my subscriptions today and notice all his videos were gone. Probably a terms of use violation. Sucks.

Jul 18, 2007 - Once again YouTube censorship at work.

assaultivebear Says:

Jul 26, 2007 - Did you happen to get a response from First Run Features parispeter? And I must add that it is strange for all this without a comment by anticonsumer considering her/his obvious dedication to posting. My only guess is her/him being driven away by a feeling of resentment and defeat but hope to hear from her/him again.

Robbyd124 Says:

Aug 8, 2007 - Ack. Another of my favorites, Cybertariat, just got suspended.

niccoloR Says:

Aug 10, 2007 - HYPOTHESIS: ANtiConsumer was being warned for a long time that he/she would be banned if he kept drawing Red Flags and complaints and infringing corporate copyrights. He finally he banned and is told, dont come back, if you do we will delete all your profiles and all those profiles like you. A progrom.

niccoloR Says:

Aug 10, 2007 - Antinconsumer does the rational thing and says nothing and watches in amusement as YT's tactics blowback and he becomes a cause celebre. Its the 'kidnap the family and threaten to kill them if you dont do what we say' tactic. Stay away or we delete 1000 more videos... dunno really

parispeter2 Says:

Aug 20, 2007 - Is this all just a hypothesis or is any of this information?

d12south Says:

Aug 21, 2007 - I was looking at my subscriptions.. hes no longer. did u get any info on what happened or is there a new channel?thanks

klopek24 Says:

Aug 22, 2007 - Where is Blaynestaley???

stormvorm Says:

Sep 2, 2007 - I guess we all just have to make pro-nazi films to not get banned. Tough luck, eh?
