I've Got It
So I get a email saying someone subscribed my channel. That made me happy for a bit. I went to his channel to find that he copied my Stick Figure Stop Motion video and made it with just a bit of changes. Even the stick figure that I drew.. was very similar! What should I do? Not that I'm super concerned about it since his channel was created few days ago. But how would you react to that? What would you guys do in this situation?
 
I wouldn't get to upset about it. More so take it as a compliment. Because if you have someone copying what you've done that means you are doing something right. But that depends on how you look at it. Because i've seen youtubers steal what someone else did that does not have the same audience they have and get on the front page of youtube from the same exact prank.

I´d ask him to delete his video or to mention your channel in the description of the video.

Yea I'm not really upset.. I actually started laughing lol. But copying a style is something else.. the dude even drew out the stick figure exactly same as mine! At first I was like "Oh wow what a coincidence we both drew a similar stick figure" but later when it got to a part.. I was like that's BS.[DOUBLEPOST=1348348254][/DOUBLEPOST]My video
His/her
 
At first I thought "His appears to be older than yours". Then I realized you have two channels, each responding to the other with identical content. Why are you doing that, if you don't mind me asking?

Anyway. It's similar enough that it would be a copyright violation. I would report it to YouTube. That sucks.

I was about to explain that cuz I knew someone would ask why is his video older than mine. My first channel, I created in 2006, was typically for my band covers and music performances. When I got into film-making I started my new channel just for my film-related and original content for YouTube. Having the account successfully hooked up with the AdSense account.. it NEVER played any ads on ANY of my monetized video. I learned that many other YouTubers are facing this glitch. All of us kept reporting YouTube.. posted on Google help forums so many time but we received no help at all. I left my 130+ subs and uploaded the videos in my 1st channel..hiding all my old videos as unlisted. Ads started instantly after uploading.
 
I honestly would take it as a compliment! Maybe your style will be the start of a new trend! You never know dude.
 
I had that the other day! someone reuploaded my Nyan Cats... and added their own intro, some people are right cheeky sods! lol
But i made a copyright claim and YouTube seems to love me now, as everytime I fill out a form their video is instantly removed :)
