What would you do if you became viral?

[Den's Den]

Have gona viral like that many times, first thing I do is browse Facebook to see how many millions of views are stolen from me via freebooting and to file dmca to facebook.

I do the same !! It started 2 years ago when one of my videos which had 8 Million views at that time was copied and uploaded to a FB page and they got 25 Million views in 3 months on my video. I now check daily and find copies all the time and I file a dozen or so dmca to facebook monthly. I have 200 videos on YT and I can spot a copy in a heartbeat even if they change the thumbnail, description or title.
I also message original owners when I see other that I'm fairly sure they are freebooting them.

Well, I'd do what any proper internetainer would do. Make a sequal that's exactly the same as the original video in an attempt to get viral a second time. Works every time.
