So itâs not a problem since it mentions itâs sapiens audio? On that logic even the yeah right guy did nothing wrong since every video mentions itâs sapiens audio lol. Looking at the other stuff itâs literally a channel that uploads paid stuff like those other yt channels. That channel should be reported if anything. And looking at some other sapien content on that channel itâs obvious that they were uploaded when they were still available for purchase. Itâs not fine to upload premium stuff by any means or under any condition. Stolen or not doesnât matter.
More than likely I am misinterpreting. Before I stick my foot in my mouth even further I will ask someone with a bigger brain. My first error was in not checking to see if it was the paid one, as I had thought it was free - it is not. Even so, the official word will be sought. Thanks
Itâs fine since there are many sapien audios and itâs hard to keep track of the paid and free ones. It just looked like you were saying it was ok to upload it there as it isnât considerd as stolen and I was just pointing that part. Nothing else intended on my part. And if you check itâs upload history youâll also see other gumroad paid audios that were uploaded almost a year ago as well.
As a copyright lawyer I can tell you what the policy should be.
Every mandala and audio is in fact a copyrighted work, rights in which are held by the original authors. YouTube has a copyright infringement takedown procedure (or had, didnt check in a while) under Digital Millenium Copyright Act (DMCC). So ideally Dream or any of his co-authors must directly use the infringement notification form there. None of us are their official representatives, there is a requirement to upload a power of attorney if you are notifying on someoneâs behalf.
Okay, so an option is to hire a lawyer / law firm who will collect / review reports on counterfeits and then send out takedown notices. There is the issue of the power of attorney tho. I do understand perfectly that none of the authors here, especially Dream, would want their original identity disclosed. But that is how it works in this world. The only other way is for actual authors to directly engage with YouTube.
I just pictured attorneysâ fees paid in custom NFTs and ROFLd hard haha
Well considering the possibility itâs a scammer, Iâd say this that new users and hidden profiles (Unless itâs an old and well known member) should not be given right to make trades or should send first. It seems that personâs profile info is hidden. Also joined just today. In my opinion you should have checked his status or identity first. Also if you paid with PayPal try contacting with PayPal customer service to report scam related payment.
Also if possible Iâd like to suggest a rule that will let people offer trades in public threads. This way people can identify who is offering the trade and what is being traded. This way people can keep themselves in check. Also sometimes itâs seems people end up making mistakes and ends up getting scammed. Just like thereâs trade registry thread there also could be one for offering trades.
Itâs not a blame the victim situation, but the guyâs profile screams shady and scammy.
Following the basic rules would have prevented this from happening.
I encourage everyone to read the rules again, we will post them here and put a reminder elsewhere like in the the reading thread.
He couldnât post on the buy/sell thread, he signed up the same day, he never interacted with anyone, he wanted you to send money first and there are more subtle warnings.
The rules didnât fail on this one, we canât just block users from sending messages to each others. It was a human error
I mean, look at this from a constrained, not omnipotent, not part of law enforcement, forum regulatorâs point of view.
@Quantum based on however you paid you can try to contact the customer service of that payment provider and see if it works out. They may at least take proper action against that person if anything. If they ask you questions related to it you can always use conversation screenshot as evidence. If you get luck they might somehow help to get your money back who knows.
