The Bungie Lawsuit Is INSANE!! 

Go to buyraycon.com/actman for 15% off your order! Brought to you by Raycon. Bungie came out swinging with that BIG DICK ENERGY

The fact that even a multibillion dollar company had to fight RU-vid for multiple days just to prove it wasn’t them is actually insane. How does RU-vid expect its smaller creators to defend themselves from false claims with their atrocious system when even the big guys can’t even do it with ease!? I know RU-vid’s system is already tarnished to the ground but man it gets even more pathetic with stuff like this

Bungie community: “Bungie, what are you doing?” Bungie: “Giving the false copyright abuser back their L” QTV: *quakes in fear*

Seeing Bungie refer to RU-vid's systems as a "byzantine procedural labyrinth" is one of the best things I've ever read.

This lawsuit is straight up insane. This is equivalent to a man gets caught on fire and thought burning the entire city will be much better than jumping in a pond.

Soo, basically, Nazo tried to social engineer himself into a more favorable position, damaging livelihoods in the process, and RU-vid made sure to make stopping him as difficult as possible.

I lost my channel because of this guy. Thankfully, I got it back and I'm so glad I got mentioned in the lawsuit. This guy basically destroyed my channel for 3 weeks. I'm still floored that something like this could even happen. Also, thanks for bringing light to our struggles Act Man!

It speaks volumes with how well and truly fucked youtube is when a MAJOR CORPORATION needs to jump though the hoops just to get something done.

Imagine being the lawyer that has to type "Lord Nazo" in legal documents lol

Not only does this tale show how broken the RU-vid copyright system is, but it clearly shows how incompetent their support system is at the exact time. It just goes to show how money driven they can be and gives us examples of RU-vid being a complete joke.

Imagine you don't have a huge, highly qualified legal department like Bungie does and this happens to you.

Destiny 2 and Bungie has it's issues, but the strong content creation community around the game is something money can't buy and Bungie knows this. I'm glad to see them defending this community so strongly, they really could have just brushed it off and left those affected to deal with it but they've offered help with their RU-vid contacts to restore channels.

What's legitimately amazing is we have for years now known people such as Onision have demonstrated they can in fact abuse this system to their benefit and only now is it probably still not going to get fixed

Bungie absolutely roasting Nazo in the legal document that they specifically made public is amazing.

it's almost funny how whenever RU-vid is involved in a situation like this they always make just the worst choices imaginable

When he said “Can you believe a massive lawsuit that begins with the copyright system on youtube working as intended” it was so funny and sad at the same time

I actually love how this lawsut made Bungie look good. They've been on a path to redemption ever since they've split up from Actvision, and as a Guardian myself I saw them remove lootboxes and fully invest in player experience. The item shop is literally cosmetics only, it doesn't even matter to the endgame. Yes, the game is a DLC/Expansion selling machine, and that's weird, but the content provided is 100% banger. It's not like certain game developers who spend months advertising something to then sell a product that's half-baked. That's not the case with Bungie.

Glad to see you doing so good after everything that transpired these past few months.

The Act Attorney is no longer about Call of Duty it's about RU-vid justice.

So in short, Susan's "wisdom" of how she led RU-vid bogged this down and made it somewhat worse than how it could've been. Goddamn.

I wonder how YT would react if someone pretended to be YT and put takedown requests on official YT videos to demo to YT how bad this system is. I doubt that anyone would actually want to do this though as YT would probably respond hostilly even if the person made it clear that they are doing it to demo how broken the system is.

Honestly, it seems like RU-vid should be held responsible for this as well. Their poor system for handling copyright claims and negligence in addressing the known issues with said system are the only reason this got as far as it did in the first place. This guy should never have been able to so successfully damage Bungie's public reputation in this fashion, nor issue such claims against other creators' work in the first place.

This is some Internet Historian material right here. Bungie's lawyer's are absolute savages roasting both RU-vid and the offender on a legal document lmao. Also the guy was pretty much discount Palpatine, getting both sides to fight each other

Most times when large companies sue an individual Internet: This is an injustice! Let’s boycott the company! This time a large company sues an individual Internet: yea fuck that guy, go get him

The fact that a company like Bungie had to go through the same stuff that every other youtuber has to go through is god damn worrying.

“If someone was selling cheats that negatively affect the online viability, you’d want to do something about that.” Valve: Nah

I’m so glad you got remonitized so we can get great content like this! Your uploads never fail to be awesome.

I don't agree with companies randomly taking down music, if there's no other way to view it - lookin' at you, Nintendo... But this is the first time I think the entire internet and gaming community agreed and backed the company.

It's amazing that Bungie knows the lawsuit is such a slamdunk for them cuz they have EVERYTHING they just start flaming the guy any chance they get it's amazing truly

To me it sounds like RU-vid should be equally liable in this case, but we all know that's never gonna happen.

"to demonstrate that serious consequences await anyone else foolish enough to volunteer as a defendant by targeting Bungie's community for attack" Bungie is not fooling around. They have Gjallarhorn locked and loaded.

I'll be honest, it's kind of surreal hearing about a multi-million-dollar lawsuit by a large company against a single individual which is actually justified. To be clear, I don't really give them any particular credit for this, because no act of any corporation is ever motivated by a genuine moral compass, but it's still weird seeing a case where they actually were acting in good faith and trying to protect their consumers.

*RU-vid won't change until their advertisers shareholders start bailing out* . It's frustrating how not even bad PR and common decency are enough to move YT anymore. Great job covering this though!

You know a company is bad when you have another company also complaining about how bad RU-vid's copyright system is. Bungie should be careful, RU-vid might shut down their channel as well for pointing out RU-vid's flaws.

You know, it's a small comfort to know that even major companies have to deal with RU-vid's bullshit. Hopefully this will make some kind of change happen.

The fact that bungie is bringing up the weakness of RU-vid’s copyright system is a potential massive W for change.

Reminds me of the mom that disguised herself as a kid to expose how bad the school security is and how clueless teachers are. She still got arrested and has a record now.

Straight up, this guy got caught the same way some of the actual serial killers do - by being "proud" of their work. Bet he couldn't pay $7500, let alone $7.5 million.

Honestly, I'm surprised RU-vid hasn't been sued for allowing the system to be this easily abused

this video is gold i didnt know this was happening thanks for post xD happy your remonitized bro

14:03 I like how you snuck in a Master Chief death scream

I expect Bungie to go after RU-vid once this first lawsuit is over. There is enough evidence to prove RU-vid knows situations like this happen frequently, making them complicit.

The Act Attorney in a tank top with more legal topics. Nice.

Love to see you back my guy

Love how this is just proving even more that YTs copyright system absolutely sucks

I can't belive a legal document was this entertaining, its like a mystery novel I love it 💀

Reading this whole situation i feel like Google should get a lawsuit heading their way as well. There has something they can be legally blamed for in this situation and hopefully, that would hit their bottom line enough to make it less costly to finally update their copyright system.

Glad to have you back Act-bro~

I love that you didn't let this past bullshyte get you down and are still putting out banger videos like nothing. Massive respect.

"He caused this massive war and then everyone's like: 'wait, why are we fighting? This is the guy who did everything.'" This line literally reminded me of Makarov from Modern Warfare 2 and 3 lmao

Bungie's lawyer: we'd like to call a witness to the stand *Master Chief walks in*

I'm glad your back to making content. :) Keep doing what you love man.

I really like this new type of video. I don't think I would mind if the Act Attorney read more video game related lawsuit stuff like this whenever it crops up. We don't really have anyone in the overall videogame communities wanting to look at this kind of stuff and make it interesting to listen to as well, and I think gamers overall would benefit from knowing just how it affects the games they play.

I feel like bungie could go after RU-vid for negligence in this instance.

My God, Bungo's struggle with RU-vid's appeal system is absolutely absurd. Really hope some reform comes from this lawsuit.

0:24 why did this Zavala bit catch me so off guard lmfao i love this editing.

that something like this could even happen. Also, thanks for bringing light to our struggles Act Man!

If Lord Nazo is found guilty in court, wouldn't that strengthen a future lawsuit against RU-vid? It would be adding precedent to the legal record of the exact legal misbehavior people pull all the time here

He's screwed. I think almost every lawyer in the world would tell him to settle the case before it enters court. At least his insane act has highlighted issues with youtube copyright. Unfortunately it has cost him money he doesn't have

soo glad to see you making videos again man.

It makes me happy to see you back on your feet after the past dilemma!

Literally any lawsuit based around copyright: 'exists' The Act Attorney: 'Bonjour'

For those that didn't know by the way, My name is Byf was one of the channels that got striked. He's a destiny lore channel, focused entirely on asking questions about the lore, summarizing complex parts of the lore, etc. One of the videos he posted that got striked was his MASSIVE project called "Dynasty." Which is a 2+ hour long animated project summarizing almost the entirety of the Hive's lore for the whole series from their inception to the current time. It was an incredibly long and arduous project that was struck literally the day it came out by Lord Nazo. It is a fucking masterpiece, and deserves every view it can get. It was endorsed by Bungie themself, and was showcased multiple times during its development and after release. And that video was coming from a guy who doesnt ask for likes, doesn't ask for comments, doesn't ask for subscriptions. His final line in his videos is "And as always your viewership is just enough for me. And my name has been "My name is byf." Per Audacia Ad Astra. I'll see you starside." It's a fucking tragedy that Lord Nazo did that shit to him, because it cut out the most important day of his revenue for a project that took incredible time and effort to create, and deserved it all. And this little dickhead stole it from them because he was salty at a company that has nothing to do with Byf in the first place. He deserves everything they give him.

keep it up act man I am glad to see you back

You know, since this lawsuit has shed some light on RU-vid's DMCA's ease of abuse, I wonder just how many other videos were falsely DMCA'ed by an impersonator

Wasn’t expecting that, a lawsuit involving a game company that isn’t about sexual harassment?

I just noticed that The Act Man is now reaching the top 10 trending in gaming and I feel like no one else on the platform deserves that feat more than him. Been here since 500k and I'm really happy to see how good this channel is doing.

Great Job! Glad to see you back at it again.

Love to see you back

It's really only going to take a company suing YT for their bad copyright claim system to get YT to fix it. The fact Bungie had to Subpoena YT to get information on who this guy was is major red flags.

He was actually pretty smart, just not savvy enough to know how to hide himself, which is really scary. If someone does what he did, but knew how to cover their tracks then they could get away with fraud no questions asked.

Dropping my like to support the channel. Great video, glad to have never lost you!

this was actually interesting to listen to, who could've thought going over a law document like this could be fun lol.

God, the lawsuit really is written well. You can practically feel the (legitimate) salt.

I think RU-vid should be part of this lawsuit too. Look at how easy this was to take advantage of this broken system. This was incompetence on RU-vid's part and it's been going on for years. I think they share responsibility.

Fascinating - saw the headline but didn't really look into it. Loved the legal doc walkthrough.

Been waiting on bated breath to see you back brother. And with such engagingly good content to boot! Welcome back yo.👍

This is one of those strange times in history where I am rooting *for* a multi-billion dollar company to actually win a lawsuit.

CSC: ”Hey RU-vid we’re dealing with an person impersonating as us and taking down videos claiming we did it using a fake email, can you reinstate the videos?” RU-vid: “Sure thing champ! Just use the official email to confirm reinstatement :)” *CSC uses an official email and fails* RU-vid: “Sorry! To reinstate you need to use the same email that issued the claims!” RU-vid has the 2nd step in the equation right, as making sure an official email used to retract an claim is good so make them have to reuse the same official email, but it’s only good if step 1 works. And which step 1 is to make sure the email used to file the copyright infringement claim in first place is actually from an official email and not a fake one. It’s such an obvious flaw in the security system. Edit: I feel like my last piece was but inadequate so if you’re curious they’re two fellows have some brighter ideas than me

Glad your back man

I like that quote, "You f around, you gonna find out." Glad you are back man making vids. Keep 'em comin!

Fun little side note: There is also evidence that Lord Nazo used Cheat-Software in Destiny 2 Bungie was able to connect his IP-adress to a Website which sold Cheats

Hopefully this situation causes RU-vid to FINALY do something about their strike systems so people can't abuse them anymore. Looking at you, QTV...

Glad to see you back on youtube! Also - I think that was the best Raycon sponsor i've ever seen

For the first time ever in my life, I'm happy to see ads in a video. Glad things are better for you my guy.

Actman: “see that, my glasses sucks, unlike Raycon.” The mic drops. “See that, the mic sucks, unlike Raycon”

Bungie just started another suit on a guy who threatened the lives of workers and hacked in games and was an overall ass to others. You should try to cover this case because he (allegedly) is being fined for every PVP match he played with cheats on, across multiple accounts.

Glad to see you back uploading videos Act Man, I think I speak for everybody in saying we were all worried you wouldn't be able to come back.

bro im impressed thanks for covering this

This is beautiful. After everything with Quantum and now this, RU-vid has no choice but to address the broken copyright system. I hate to say it but RU-vid don't give a fuck about you however now it's effecting their advertisers. There are a lot of Destiny 2 ads and a precedent of RU-vid screwing over the people that give them money isn't something they want.

This isn’t the first time I’ve seen someone abuse copyright for music before. In Recent memory, Neffex’s copyright free music got claimed by a company. It eventually got fixed, but seeing Qtv, 343 Halo series, and now this. It’s honestly stupid how easy people can abuse this system.

Glad your back buddy :) keep making content will be here

Good to have you back Act Man

Imagine the defense for this in court "Your honor, my client pleads insanity, the "voice in his head" told him to."

Bungie came out swinging harder than a Halo 3 gravity hammer, also love to see you back!

Happy to see you back bra,

welcome back man hope you're doing good

This is the very definition of “Play stupid games win stupid prizes.”

I think Nintendo should create their own music channel on RU-vid and release their entire music log officially. It would gain them so much viewers, attention, and money.

All my homies missed the act man, glad you’re back and bangin’
