Fighting Copyright Abuse on YouTube

Studios and labels have an army of lawyers who do nothing but scour YouTube for videos to demonetize. Worse, YouTube gives them tools to super-charge their search (tools individual creators couldn’t buy at any price). As a creator, it can seem like the deck is stacked against you – because it is. But that doesn’t mean you’re helpless. Far from it. Big corporations are actually terrified of creators exercising their rights. So let’s fight back. Learn about your rights under the Copyright Act. Get a taste for the tricks that an actual lawyer has used to beat every copyright claim, destroy DMCA takedowns, and get a personal apology from a major network.

BRAND AND CREATOR PARTNERING TO ENGAGE FANS AND BUILD LEGACY

In 1968 Hot Wheels revolutionized play with the first toy cars that not only looked great but also performed better than anything else out in the market. 50 years and many generations later, the brand is bigger than ever. With continuously changing trends and consumer behaviors, and a fast evolving media environment, it’s more challenging than ever for a heritage brand to remain relevant and top of mind. Tanner Fox, beyond his +9MM subscribers, is one of the most influential creators on YouTube. His ability to engage authentically with his fans - who have seen him grow from the skate part to become a reference in the YouTube world - is hard to match. Over the course of 3 years Hot Wheels and Tanner have created one of the most unique partnerships in social media. A single-minded focus on building legacy, projects that simply wouldn’t exist without both brands collaborating, has fueled the success of both brands engaging and delighting fans around the world.
