- akimbostrawman 1y agoThey do not "need" it since that movie was crowd funded with over 400k anyways and AdSense are pittance in comparison. They also have indirectly promoted that reupload.
- dspillett 1y agoWhile they can't publish it themselves this at least achieves the goal of the information being spread, along with the knowledge that it was their investigative team that did the work in the first place. But yes, once they reedit and republish themselves (or manage some sort of appeal and republish as-is) then of course linking to that (and a smaller cut of the parts they've had to change because Bloomberg were litigious arseholes, if only to highlight that their copyright claim here is somewhat ridiculous) would be much better.
- gdwatson 1y agoIt sounds like their lawyers have done the appropriate counter-challenge with YouTube, so the video will go back up unless Bloomberg sues them in the next so many days. And this is Gamers Nexus, so I presume they will fight to keep it as is on principle. Personally, I found the length of the quotes from politicians kind of tedious, but I sure wouldn’t want them to capitulate to Bloomberg after this.
- crote 1y agoYouTube ad revenue isn't as high as you'd think. A very significant part of their income comes from in-video sponsors and merchandise sales.
- FirmwareBurner 1y ago>Given that Gamers Nexus needs the ad revenue They made six figures from merch sales on that investigation. Not much, but more than Youtube ads.
- gblargg 1y agoAgreed. I'm waiting until they get it back up to watch it. I can wait.
