Disney is threatening a guy with taking his livelihood away..all for a few seconds of music

I think it is important for people to see how petty and disgusting Disney behaves towards Star Wars fans. We've been called names constantly for 1 year now, lies are being spread but because Disney and their shills say they are true, they must be, right?

 

Quick run down. I made a thread about this issue but TL;DR

The biggest Star Wars fan channel made a Vader fan film. He didn't monetize his video and got the green light from Lucasfilm. He paid everything from his own pocket (150k) because they told him, he can't crowd fund it. Turns out..Disney manually copy claimed his video, earning 80k off of it so far.

 

Star Wars Theory made an update video:

(He was one of the few channels who never said anything bad about Disney SW..congrats)

 

TL;DR they threatened him, if he appeals the copyright claim, they are gonna strike his channel, which means, he could lose everything!

I forgot to add..SWT hired a composer for the fan film..he didn't use the OG ost..

 

EDIT: They retracted the copyright claim! Star Wars Theory said that Lucasfilm ordered the video's demonetization! Maybe uncle George heard about the situation?hmmm

Congrats to the SW fandom and for everyone who spread the word!

that's horrible wow

 

paying $150K out of your own pocket to film something you have approval for WITHOUT MONETIZING IT and then having someone copyright claim and making money off of something they didn't put any effort into.......

I think what is worse than this is..the guy who supported them got treated this way. They basically cornered him with 2 options. He either accepts it (that they are monetizing HIS video) or he can go against them but they will copystrike his channel and even if it survives, they will take down the video. So entitled..

What would happen if he reuploaded the vid without the music?

He could do that, I know now you can edit your YT videos without taking them down but I don't think he wants to. Disney would find a way to strike it anyways, I am sure of it. It is easier just to let them take the money and move on. Disney could very well sabotage him later (he is planning to do an episode 2) and this channel is his bread and butter.
