Alright, so to make a very long story short, ACE_Spark and I have come into conflicts more than a few times with various companies claiming copyright infringing on YouTube. These companies don't actually own the rights to what they're claiming (which is mostly Megaman content), and from what we've researched into their business practices and the US and UK copyright and fair use laws, they're illegally monetizing and then shutting down videos on YouTube featuring Megaman content at their discretion. ACE and I are more than a little disturbed and angered by this. Seeing as we don't have the resources or manpower to actually go up against these guys (especially considering UMG is among them), we've made a podcast explaining what they're doing, how it's hurting Megaman as a franchise; how it's hurting the fandom; how it's hurting Capcom; how it's making them look; and how, if left unchecked, they'll most likely spread these dealings to other practices and series and continue their crusade of destroying protected information and free advertising for Capcom, the very over-arching IP they're - essentially - stealing from.
Obviously two YouTube videos (which I suspect don't have long lifespans) and a podcast download link aren't much. That's why ACE and I are asking people to spread the word. One share out of ten still goes a long way.
Now, I expect more than a fair share of sarcastic remarks and questioning of our proof. However, as explained in the podcast and video descriptions, what more proof is needed besides the fact that we've both had unnecessary run-ins with these people, and know others who have as well. If anyone here feels the need to inform me that this undertaking is stupid or unsupported or whatever else...I can't say much that isn't explained in the podcast. We have our justifications, we have our experiences, and we've been around the block enough to know when something is this serious.
All that said, here's the video link. Links to the companies' sites, Capcom Unity's representatives, and the Inc. podcast files are all in its description.
