EXNOA (DMM Games) Strikes My Tenchi Muyo! GXP Paradise Starting Review
What a way to start my morning. I saw another, small YouTube Tenchi fan named Yankee mention that his image-free, clip-free review of Tenchi Muyo! GXP Paradise Starting episode 1 was immediately struck shortly after he published it. I decided to check my own video and it was gone. And I found this waiting for me.
The video review was fair usage, taking clips from the episode to make the video more interesting, and to encourage folks to go watch the thing. But in typical, petty, small-minded Japanese fashion, EXNOA views anything that even reveals a hint of the story to equate to lost sales, thus a copyright strike to anyone with a video on the actual episode, even if the video has no screen captures or clips.
The review is up on Rumble. I’m appealing the YouTube copyright strike, but I have low expectations of it being reinstated. Yankee tells me that even if YouTube allows it to go back up, DMM Games will continue to harass me.
I have to update the original post. That said, if EXNOA/DMM Games wants to be this petty and give me a copyright strike, then I’m no longer going to discourage folks from going to Tortuga to watch it.
So we are back to this game. You might want contact Crunchyroll about EXNOA/DMM attempt. They are surely aware of your own protections in the copyright law, Beside Crunchyroll wants you to provide all that free advertising you provide for the TenchiVerse.
Sorry for the delay. I didn’t get notified.
You may be right on contacting CR. Then again, now that they are part of Sony, they may not be as receptive to things. Not sure. I’m thinking in 2-3 more days, the video will be restored. YouTube is apparently still waiting on a response from DMM.
