An update on the next video.
For all of you that are new, and there's a lot of you, I'll explain to you my uploading process. You may have been expecting a new video today, but I've run into some trouble like I do from time to time.
So as you can see in the video for The Painted Lady, there's a partially blocked symbol and a copyright claim. This is because Avatar is obviously copyrighted material. So I have to jump through a few hoops to make this video available for everyone. I need to win a copyright dispute with Viacom and Nelvana.
What the entails is that I do a little write up on why my video is fair use, and then they take the video in for review and see if they want to release the claim or not. USUALLY I win the copyright dispute early on Tuesday mornings, so that's why you guys get videos on Tuesdays. (Sometimes I lose the copyright dispute and that's all whole other way bigger headache that takes way longer, but usually I win.)
However, there are times when the decision just doesn't come in at all.
After I put my dispute in, I have no say at all in the timing of the matter. It is totally out of my hands at that point. Viacom and Nelvana can take up to a month to review my case if they want to. They haven't done that yet, but they could if they really wanted. As you can see the upload date is September 19th for The Painted Lady, but if I were to make it public it wouldn't be viewable for around 80% of you.
It could just so happen that it clears copyright tomorrow or the next day. It's usually a weekday at least. But I have literally no way of knowing. I'm not really on a hard and fast schedule. I post once a week if you Youtube Gods allow it, and if they don't, I just have to wait.
Hopefully you can all understand, and I'll have the video out as soon as I can.

wHy dO i eVEn sUb tO UR PaTReoN ThEn. Hey none of us who are subbed are worried about the delay. We love the show and know that Viacom can be tight with the copyright claims. Thanks for the heads up :) keep up the good work buddy!
Thank you for keeping us in the loop my good man! We all understand having to clear the videos for posting
Thanks for the update, OA. I love your content!
Fair enough mate! I already wait longer than that for animation videos.
Lol thanks for the update, I think it's safe to say we've all been on YouTube long enough to know how crappy the copyright system is. Hopefully they could get to work on it quickly, and here's to hoping they never bother you again after this... Even though they most definitely will, but a man can dream.
Take yer time man. I can wait. :)
The copyright system is literally dumb. But thanks for the update!! Good luck!! Looking forward to the next video!!!
Such bs. I hate the YouTube copyright system, how many creators has it driven away because they upload and are told they'll never be able to monetize their vids? Do they even think to dispute given how scary the wording is? Considering a dispute by a creator the BEGINNING of legal action is bullshit. The legal action began when they stole credit for your video, and they should be responsible for proving it. Sorry for the paragraph bro 😂 just passionate.
Oof, hope soon, but we understand. Also, the title of the video basically gives away its your most hated video😂
All good, man. Thanks for the heads up!
We get it when we get it, hype level won't change man.
Don’t worry, we’ll all be here when it’s out!!
Hello fellow Dylan >:)
