Patreon Suspension Lifted + What Happened
Hey all - yesterday was a very confusing day and I do apologize for the entire Patreon page not being available for some time. Unfortunately, VIZ Media sent a DMCA takedown notice of Naruto, Boruto, Demon Slayer, Death Note, and Hunter x Hunter.
It is very frustrating that this happened, seeing as I follow copyright law quite strictly by using a watch-along format with the timecode on screen. From my understanding, the page was not DMCA'd for the content I host here (as it is all 100% legal), but instead it was taken down simply for having the names used in titles, as even WEEKLY SCHEDULES that included logos/names were taken down.
Unfortunately, I had to remove all of the posts related to the above shows. If I hadn't, the Patreon page would have been completely unavailable to access for at least 2 weeks while it was reviewed.
I AM working on getting you all access to those reactions again, and it should only be a matter of a day or two when I will get those links to you. Thank you so much for your support and patience, and I will have today's MHA reaction up shortly.
<3 - Jack

damn, this is crazy and dumb imo honestly
It was scary seeing it, I just hope you're mentally ok as your viewers will follow you wherever you go. We appreciate you hella Jack
VIZ is so shameless, my god. It sucks that you have to deal with these false copyright claims. Take care Jack, we support you! 👍
You should just be able to put like a “xyz is copyrighted to blah blah blah” and be good why they gotta make it complicated especially when you’re going out of your way to follow the law. Good thing most anime can be abbreviated lol
Copyright trolls completely out of hand
This is so crazy. I don’t understand how any of that and what you do is a copyright problem. My favorite thing to do is watch reactions and if people can’t even find the reactions because they have to title them differently from the show, then nobody will be getting views.
Like Jack said everything he does is legal. Corporations love to abuse the copyright take down system of websites like Patreon and Youtube to harass and bully reactors, they don't even care if the content is legal or not it's messed up.
It is ironic that this happens to you, being one of the few creators who share the official links of what you are reacting to... cheer up, we will be supporting you here.
Bro what is happening. It’s like they are just snatching everything from everybody
This is crazy, it’s happening to almost every anime patreon users.
Same happened to others reactors I follow. They renamed it "Bolt's Dad" for Naruto XD
Sorry to hear this happened to you, man. I’ve seen way too many reactors have similar types of problem, even the ones I’ve worked with. But for A TITLE?! And THUMBNAILS?? Shit ain’t fair bro.. I’m glad to hear it’s sorted out for now. Keep grinding, brother. All the love
handle ya business gangy
viz and toei really do be fighting for control of the claim copyright button
