I am still on this forum, just inactive. Originally I did want to post about the entire copyright strikes on to this forum, but decided not to because there isn't a lot of interest for the playlist.

Yes, every single take down request on my videos was from Selebus. Both on videos with his edited ("happy") music, and videos with original music. I'm not sure exactly what the copyrighted material was (either the background or the music), I don't really understand copyright law, but Selebus must have gone through some hoops to register content within my videos as copyrighted just so he can take them down. My first videos were uploaded on 16/7/2023, the first take down wave came on 30/9/2024 and the second was just a few days ago.

Can you elaborate further on the internet archive? I do know the website but I'm not sure how uploading there will be beneficial to others.

It seems like he is trying to make it impossible to upload certain songs from the game.
You need to contest this, because not a single song from the game belongs to him, and if this idiot wants to get technical, not even the REMIXES are his.
I swear to myself I will find you the original link to every single song if you need it.

Double post cause I'm saddened by this. I'm assuming your videos were of the playlist that had the Wires smile on the thumbnail. Otherwise it would mean multiple channels got struck.

Selebus really is his own worst enemy. What exactly is he even losing by having these videos on youtube? It just further feeds people talking about his game. So many moronic decisions all the time.
I'm starting to think Sel actually hates the fans of his work. Also I thought the music in the game was public domain? I know his cheap ass didn't buy it.

Edit: we most certainly should watch out for drm though, I agree. It would be moronic for Selebus not to try it again. Although that will probably come after LiLfest is finished, since, from my understanding it will all be free during it.
I'd be more worried about the current DRM getting people because he hasn't touched it in years, but is probably going to use the same menu to load it. So players load content freely downloadable from the website and BOOM saves corrupted.

I'm pretty sure had most of the original links in the description too.

The fucking idiot. Why's he going all Nintendo on the music he's merely using. I might look at internet archiving it myself out of spite.

I think there was a couple of songs commissioned for the game? Or something like that anyway. But even then public domain stuff gets auto claimed all the time on YouTube so it might not have been Sel claiming stuff.

If I was Sel and my game was full of Koikatsu renders and stock images I probably did not pay for. I don't think I would be copyright striking people and risking pissing off the wrong guy that decides to take it to court because they have nothing better to do.

Honestly I feel like an idiot for not investigating further on this.
It seems like just about anyone can make false copyright claims on Youtube. The video's owner can file a copyright counter notification that requires the issuer of a copyright strike to prove to YouTube that they've taken legal action against you. If the issuer of the strike fails to provide that proof to YouTube within ten business days, your struck video is restored and the strike is expunged from the channel.
Only problem is that I have to provide my personal information to Youtube.

According to the wiki, Sel only commissioned one song. It was the piano arrangement of Hallelujah. He does not own the rest.

Not to mention a lot of the backgrounds in scenes are clearly made using the sims 4

Internet archive is a good place to store your stuff, no matter what it is. So if youtube is taking down a playlist, you can just create account there(do make sure to use burner email) and just post playlist on archive. Sel will eat shit and die, before he manages to take down a playlist from archive and you can always repost it via a different account. So you can have 2 separate(make sure they are listed under different genres) playlist that contain same songs. Do not use any legitimate data though, only burners. You can then just drop a site reference here and watch the haters try to take down your playlist.
Edit: you can also post under different youtube account the same playlist, but withous the description that you had and pictures, also make sure the names are writen either in israeli or arab language. Youtube allows whole tons of illegal or pirated shit if you do it that way

Your channel was a very important archive and a memento for many people, I would encourage you to do your best to restore those videos if possible.
If you can't, I'd at least want to ask you if you had the original videos saved anywhere so I could make a new channel and upload them myself.

People really vote for non sex stuff? Lame.
I believe there are multiple reasons for this. Firstly, people hope Selebus can focus more on characters that haven't received attention in a long time and prioritize advancing the main story. Secondly, Sel's sex animations and CGs are honestly quite boring... The more I play, the more I feel that the hentai content is becoming the least enjoyable part of LiL for me (seriously).

I would also suggest not to dispute it, depending on how much of a shithead Sel decides to be, you could get into a lot of trouble. My friend disputed youtube decision to remove shitloads of arabic music and nasheeds from his channel, youtube most likely automatically informed about him to his provider and they in turn informed police and lots of problems started from there. Your case could be considered as "piracy" in European countries, so if you live there, then it is a risk, youtube will gladly fuck you over there. No idea about US, I doubt youtube will bother with laws of copyright and piracy there. So if you are in EU I would suggest not to risk, if in USA then it is up to you

butterfly boy did you use anything but the wiki to find the original videos? I'm trying to think of the easiest way to get the links you had in your descriptions.

Yeah, I'm surprised at how passionately some people are pushing for the worst part of LiL. The fact that Molly might be having sex soon is more interesting than the fact she might be using koikatsu_sexpose_doggystyle2

I live in SEA actually. And yeah, I can dispute it and Sel likely has no way of proving it back, but there's 2 problems:
1. Disputing is considered a legal action, it allows Sel to sue me back and I might be putting myself into some legal problems I'm not aware of. Not really worth it
2. Sel is crazy and I really don't want to give him my info

I can provide it for you. Actually, I might restore the original videos for a limited time so I can archive them. I wasn't aware of the wiki when I was searching for the source of the music, and a commenter helped me with that. He said he would open my videos in a private tab and used Youtube's recommendations to find the original video.
Your channel was a very important archive and a memento for many people, I would encourage you to do your best to restore those videos if possible.

I still have every video saved. How should I upload it?
