Tell me about it. Not a great reaction, on their part.
Why do you think they need to hire people to be surrogates for their reactions, Kappa.

I just watched their video where they try to clarify things. For the first, oh, 15 seconds, it comes off like they're really blaming themselves for failing to communicate their intentions and message. Then it quickly spirals into a tone where they sound genuinely annoyed that people are too stupid to figure out what they "actually" meant to say.
Probably been done already, but it bears repeating.

Haven't watched the video, but given the number of intense reactions in here based on incorrect information and using entirely different legal terms, I'd say that people are misinformed. Not stupid, but the messaging certainly didn't get across what they're doing.

Boogie's video is probably the most informative.
The problem is that they HAVE caused trouble to Ellen DeGeneres before, who just simply did a reaction video.
Are some people confusing the terms? Absolutely. Does that matter? No. The fact is the Fine Brothers are manually flagging other react videos for infringement. Peoples reactions are based on the Fine Brothers actively and consciously destroying other people from making any type of 'react' video.
Some very interesting insight how content creators can counter this situation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UsKu1lxWk0I
Is there a reddit list of video titles that have been taken down? I'd like to see. I think I'm going to blog about this soon.

Sony tried to trademark 'let's play', now fine Bros with 'react'... What's next?
From what I know, LittleKuriboh's not a douchecanoe.LittleKuriboh will try to trademarked "Abridged"
But is highly possible that you watched a bunch of their videos, they are everywhere.im 25 years old and i've never heard of these people.

There's a now a "subs lost per minute" counter on the github counter. Currently coasting at about 100/min, expect it to slow while the US sleeps

Can we ban threads about their videos now?

I say we feel it out and see if they take everything back, or crash and burn. I always liked the videos, but let's face it, I've only watched them via NeoGAF. So if threads for them disappear, I won't ever see another anyway.I haven't seen one in a while but yeah I second this idea.

There may be more, haven't checked actively since reading that post earlier.
I don't think they'll be well received here anymore anyways. Minus the Let's Play stuff.Can we ban threads about their videos now?

I had been subscribed since they did LOST videos with toys.I'm trying to reconcile the type of person who would subscribe to the channel in the first place also caring enough about this fuckery to unsubscribe.

Seems like the three creators in that post are using the "something reacts to" trademark, or something confusingly similar. Assuming the trademark is valid, I guess that's the right thing to do from the perspective of Fullscreen.
Looking up fair use is the wrong thing to do in that one video. Especially when he admits to having committed to copyright infringement of someone's music.
What's happening here is that people on YouTube are starting to feel the effects of the law that mainstream entertainment industry creators have had to deal with for a long time. Again, that's contingent on the trademarks being valid, which I don't think they all are. Let's see how the Ryan Morrison thing goes opposing them. It ain't cheap, though.
Also, I work with the lawyer who I believe was instrumental in getting the USPTO to reject Sony's Let's Play trademark the 2nd (and probably final) time. I helped write the blog post announcing it! So don't accuse me of being some kind of blanket corporate shill. I know some of you want to
