YouTube terminates DawkinsMTA's account

[TheMagicMan]

Yo wtf. Nikka had all the best highlights on his channel. Some bullshit.

Sucks, he did a good job, along with others who highlights for players.

[AnaheimLakers24]

ok

[Cocaine80s]

fuuuuu.... id literally watch his highlights every other day. gotta delete the bookmark now :lebroncry:

[Mr. Jabbar]

im guessing NBA filed copyright strikes for using their footage? , they wanna make nba YT channel the only way to watch highlights etc. weak considering users provide unique and usually better material.

a better approach would have been split revenue over ad sense earnings on those vids? were they monetized in the first place?

This is most likely what happened. The same thing happened to this guy (http://www.espncricinfo.com/magazine/content/story/697347.html) until he eventually figured out that nobody cares as long as the videos are old. That's why I hope CavsFTW's channel is never scrutinized.

[Trollsmasher]

it was actually CBS because of the college footage apparently

that's what you get from watching college basketball

[RoseCity07]

What a sh*tty thing to do. It's promotion of the league, and free promotion at that. He should torrent his files and have fans make spam accounts. Youtube can waste their time trying to take down all the accounts. Reminds me of the porn spam annon did on youtube. Remember "I'm 12 what is this?":oldlol:

[Rake2204]

What kind of highlights did he share? Do we specifically know which highlights drew the ire of the NBA? It seems he did current highlights, was that the problem? Was he just streaming too much critical content too soon?

I have a channel and I wish to abide by the rules enough to keep myself from getting shut down. I just don't really have a good grasp on which kind of uploads are big no-no's. I avoid uploading full games, I don't work with current year NBA, and I don't try to monetize my account, but I feel like it'll just be a matter of time regardless. I just like sharing clips for the sake of information. There's a lot of good NBA stuff that I've been able to bring to light that otherwise wouldn't be seen. It's a fun hobby.

Edit: Just saw the above regarding CBS being the likely culprit. That's good to know. For the most part, I tend to get copyright notices from the NBA that I can approve but still allows my videos to be playable, which again, is all I'm going for (information).

Though, if there's any hockey fans out there, there's a reason the Red Wings-Avs bloodbath in '97 exists only in awful quality. I tried to upload a good version and was immediately flagged (my only strike). Since then, I try to stay away from the really negative stuff (i.e. The Malice at the Palace).

why not just make a new account then? without college footage.

it seems like hes not gonna continue doing this anymore

yes, they were monetized. i once opened it on my friends pc and an ad played before the video.
i think NBA does split the adsense earnings these days. I am guessing that it was the NCAA highlights that got him into trouble.

From what I understand once you're on the radar for copyright infringement you stay on the radar... I think it's basically they let you do it until somebody complains then by necessity they really have to bury you or next time youtube's in trouble themselves

[Rake2204]

I am guessing that it was the NCAA highlights that got him into trouble.I think leagues can make claims on your videos that will monetize the videos for them but not for the user (while still allowing them to be fully playable). I get this on a lot of videos. My account is not monetized but the NBA will rightfully claim a number of my clips. I think that probably adds commercials to them.

[Mr. Jabbar]

yea, then its prolly NCAA that got him in trouble. anyways, the industries nowadays approach to this is not taking those vids/channels out since they ultimately promote your product. many industries have understood this and less strikes are being filed or only revenue redirection/split. I guess there are still old farts running some of them

[gts]

Reading his twitter, he says he got a warning.. evidently he didn't heed it...lol

[Rake2204]

Reading his twitter, he says he got a warning.. evidently he didn't heed it...lolI'm trying to piece it together. At first it seemed like he thought the warning was coming from CBS because the warning said "including: CBS" and that was the only brand mentioned. So then he removed all his CBS content, but apparently that was not enough.

[Dave3]

Reading his twitter, he says he got a warning.. evidently he didn't heed it...lol
He got a warning about his college highlights and removed them. Then all of a sudden he got 2 more in the same day (3 strike rule) and had his account terminated despite the fact that he no longer had college highlights.

[rhowen4]

**** The Ncaa

[Threethrows]

Fan made highlights and mixes >>>>>>>>>>>>>> official highlights

[Young X]

I was watching the highlights from CP3's game last night, refreshed the page, and the video was gone all of a sudden. :mad:

That was one of the GOAT youtube channels smh.

[CavaliersFTW]

Are you 100% certain that that is how it happened? As in, are you 100% certain that he completely removed all the NCAA videos prior to the 2nd set of strikes? And what was the time frame for this?

[CavaliersFTW]

Damn shame, his channel was incredible.

[Keno]

he posted incredible highlights. better than gdfactorclips or who ever is the other guy. hope he comes back.

[Rake2204]

Are you 100% certain that that is how it happened? As in, are you 100% certain that he completely removed all the NCAA videos prior to the 2nd set of strikes? And what was the time frame for this?I thought I read he received one strike a few months ago, thought it was from CBS, and therefore removed all his CBS content. I'd recommend giving his Twitter a look and read through what he's saying about it: https://twitter.com/DawkinsMTA

[Kblaze8855]

They got me once and threaten me now and then. I got a physical letter from the NBA back when NBA mixes were a new concept. Im talking like 2002 or 2003. They got my address from my cable company and sent me an actual letter telling me to stop. They hassled a poster here who was hosting for me(this was pre youtube).

The NFL doesnt play at all though. You get a warning for every use of their footage.

I was contacted by people from the NBA last year myself, they told me to keep under the radar and that they were actually interested in if I had any old footage they weren't aware of but needed to talk to some powers that be to get through any potential red tape (I'd imagine copyright related). They told me at that time, I wasn't in trouble but to stay under the radar and keep doing what I'm doing. Never heard back from them since. The two individuals I spoke with seemed to be contacting me unbenownst to any powers that be so I'm not sure the NBA as a whole is aware of my channel.

[red1]

what a shame

[hitmanyr2k]

Youtube has a 3 strike policy. Exceed 3 strikes within a year and your account is gone and you're IP banned from creating another account. The strikes themselves aren't permanent though. I think each strike is rescinded every 6 months or a year, can't remember.

Edit: the strike is rescinded after 6 months as long as you don't get another strike.

[red1]

If it was the nba that shut him down then that just shows that their reps are incompetent. His channel was the best free marketing they could possibly ever get

The NCAA thing was in February and after that, yeah I couldn't find any NCAA vids on his channel anymore.

[Kblaze8855]

Never heard from the NBA but some guy from Dime magazine told me he was a fan. I got a subscription and found I had the featured youtube video discussed in the magazine like 4 months one year. I had a Steve Francis video jump to like half a million views because of Dime. Bill simmons and yahoo put up the Bird one:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ULvo7__wwBU

And I got hated on for the song a million times.

Its nothing but free press for the league. Nobody I know ever tried to sell anything. They should have been happy.

The players sure dont give a shit. Melo had a video I made of him on his official site for a while. I think Arenas did too.

Who is losing anything?

[RoseCity07]

It's almost like they don't understand that anyone can get the footage of games if they try. It's not hard at all. I've been torrenting games for years. I still have the Celtics Lakers series from 08. When TNT had that cool Linkin Park theme.

That's insane. Just wanna let you know I've always been a huge fan of your mixes :applause:

[Kblaze8855]

Also...I notice the first video that comes up on youtube/google when you search for Wilt is one of yours. The first mix that comes up when you look for Bird is that one I made.

Had I known kids would be introduced to Larry Bird by it possibly forever id have taken more than half an hour making it and not included so many already well known plays. But it was made for ISH...posted on a private FTP that ISH users had access to over 10 years ago. And now it represents the first look at Larry Bird for some kids who heard the name and googled him.

Im kinda annoyed. I could have done a lot better.

At least your Wilt ones are informative.

He posted full game highlights of players if they had a good game.

For example: LeBron James Full Highlights 61 points
Carmelo Anthony 62 points

stuff like that... He had thousands of videos

Dawk Ins had a great work ethic. He was the GOAT of making game highlights for a player.

And its awesome to watch someone score. You get to see tough jumpers, threes, dunks, the roar of the crowd when the guy is on fire, etc etc. Its fun and I like it.

[Relinquish]

He did it every day, posting often up to 15-20 player highlight videos per day. He even included every assist, block and steal, and had a FT cam so that you didn't waste too much time watching FTs (basically a PIP window that showed the FTs while it was about to move to the next clip).

He didn't always do that many, sometimes 5-10 and it always depended on how many good performances there were the night before and how many games were played. He also did every request (literally, not even kidding). He once did a request for Dennis Schroeder after he scored like 6 points...

I remember the funny LeBron "bench" highlights. It was 4 minutes of LeBron high fiving people :lol

He had some seriously GOAT highlights, all types of funny shit and what not. He also posted a ton of rare old games by T-Mac, AI, Wade, Cavs Lebron, etc. that were hard to find elsewhere. He was my go to for John Wall highlights back when he was still considered a "bust" by idiots. Can't believe I've been watching his vids for nearly 2 years. :eek:
