So, I had a choice between leaving everything up and waiting for the axe to fall which would have left a bunch of subscribers with no idea about what happened, or I could wipe out everything and leave some way for my regular viewers to find out where they could go to get more episodes. With two copyright strikes on the channel already, the next one meant the shutdown of my channel, and with some group picking off videos randomly it was only a matter of time before the channel crashed and burned. (I’m imagining they’re acting on behalf of some other vested interest who would prefer to remain unnamed, but who can really tell with these things.) That pretty much put a damper on the rest of my evening, as you can imagine. Instead, it was issued from some inscrutable Japanese broadcasting bureaucracy called A-PAB or the Association for the Promotion of Advanced Broadcasting Services. And here’s the kicker – the takedown wasn’t issued by Nippon Animation. As long as the actual animated episodes themselves weren’t causing any grief, things could continue as normal.įast forward to a few Wednesdays ago where I’m out visiting with friends when out of the blue I get an email telling me that Episode 57 has been taken down due to a copyright strike. Getting a one-off wiped from the channel wasn’t a huge deal, since all it really meant was that I wouldn’t have to bother finishing the translation for the 2nd live-action episode. That was fair enough, the only monetization on that video was due to Odoru Pompokolin playing in the beginning credits, so nobody who actually made the show was getting a cut.

This had nothing to do with ContentId or any algorithm – this was a manual takedown request by Fuji Television. What happened first is that the live-action episode I translated last year to celebrate 1000 subscribers was hit by a copyright strike in the middle of June. I have my suspicions as to why the attitude changed, but I’ll spare you folks from them unless you’re really desperate to know. This by no means meant that I was permitted or authorized by them to do what I was doing, but I figured it sort-of nudged things into a grey area, one where I could happily exist on my own as long as the wrong people didn’t find out what I was doing. Once I started uploading videos to the service, they would immediately get monetized by Nippon Animation, the makers of Chibi Maruko-chan. Since I was new to the whole fansubbing thing, I figured this would be the simplest way to distribute the subtitled videos so the largest number of people could watch. One of the things that motivated this subtitling project was noticing the prevalence of Chibi Maruko-chan videos that exist and continue to exist on YouTube. I’m going to lay out some background for what happened and then discuss what steps are going to come next. And since YouTube has been my primary method of distribution, this has pretty much crippled MaruChanSubs for the moment. In what has been an annoying turn of events for everyone (and believe me, I’ve seen all of your messages) I’ve had to make all of the videos on my YouTube channel private.
