OK, Pauly Meatballs is now cloned on YouTube WTF

[300]

I find it interesting, not right or wrong, just interesting, how we embrace some clones / theft of somebody else's work but not others.

Haven't watched the offending material so can't comment on whether the edits or music changes made it better or worse, plus don't want to increase the view count.

Disgusting putting your name to someone's beautiful work.
Pauly does great original reviews which at first I didn't think I'd enjoy tbh as he doesn't talk, but I've found myself really enjoying them.
This fake should get banned and I really hope he does

It's a good point. I reviewed many clones in the past so this could be poetic justice
The music is subjective of course.
There are no edits other than adding a little intro and outro.
My biggest peeve was that the resolution has been degraded considerably so they're no longer HD quality.
So not only has he nicked my vids , he's made them look terrible!

(BTW I never meant to make this into a big thing , I just posted once my facebook timeline and it was taken up by others.)

Thanks for all the kind words everyone, I've been very touched by the reaction to this

I think there is a difference thought. Clones are very often touted as "styled", they don't pretend to be originals. This guy is taking your work and pretending it is his own. I am sure your know this already but it is easy to ask you tube to take down this kind of stuff.

I don't approve of this in any way, but in a way it is a high compliment, since you have to make it fairly big before anyone copies you.

I'm not saying it is right though, because it is ultimately rather pathetic

Well if Pauly is not overly bothered, then perhaps we need to leave it take its course
