Fun facts regarding the Cat-o-nine tails whip. They also had small lead balls often sewn on the ends to make it more painful, and it is also where the phrase "not enough room to swing a cat" came from. Meaning if your quarters were so small, you wouldn't have enough room to swing your whip around. You could do a blaze or even top tenz about how many common phrases or things in day to day we take for granted that has roots tied to the British Royal Navy of past days.
Ooo, extend this to common phrases AND hand gestures! Ugg Boots stole their name from Aussie Slang, and Gene Simmons tried to trademark metal horns!!!! Hell, just a video about all the shit Gene Simmons has tried to trademark and own. As a great man once said, "Gene Simmons invented breathing and shoes".
Most likely Bruce Buffer has no idea that Simon even made this video, and the copyright claim was RUclips's doing. That said, "Let's get ready to rumble" wasn't a common saying prior to Bruce Buffer's brother coining the phrase. Mike and Bruce are literally the only reason that phrase became "common".
@@KaitouKaiju Fair enough. I should have put "Well known..." instead of "Stupidly common". Also, yes I'm sure it was just an aggressive bot, but still...really?! lol.
Thought it would have been taken down for something involving Ubisoft or Activision, "let's get ready to rumble" is the most Simon way to be cancelled. edit: not cancelled, copyright struck. How rich people and companies cancel people.
Yes, there is an American Company (can't remember their name) that doesn't produce anything but buys up Computer Tech Patents with the hope they can force payments from or sue any other company that has an even slightly similar design idea 🤨, they have tried it on a few big companies in the Tech Industry in the last few years but have failed on all attempts.
I'm laughing because all the time Simon just reflexively says "allegedly" to keep himself from being sued/demonetized, and he gets a copyright strike. Now my brain keeps going "LET'S GET READY TO RUMBLLLLLE-- allegedly."
Simon needs to do a cooking show where starts off making a curry but his adhd causes him to get lost and he ends up with pizza cause, ‘what was I saying again’
It's not a dubious claim at all. Michael Buffer has owned that phrase for almost 30 years. Just assume that every catchphrase Simon is familiar with is copyrighted or trademarked (because it probably is).
Not copyright either, it's a trademark. The difference is that copyright can just sit there if you want until you choose to enforce it... but trademark HAS to be actively protected, otherwise you lose it.... and if something made you 400 million dollars, you wouldn't risk losing it.
@ 0:50 Ewww x1000!! That Solvent Green looks like a Chernobyl worker's cancerous stoole-sample. Oh that's right, Simon got the vaxx, DINCHA, Simon? {0.o} Are ya alright, Simon? Too late now, don't fight the genetic changes. {0.O.o} 😆😂🤣
Thank the Gods man! I thought I was going insane!!! Got up this morning to a Blaze notification, made myself a coffee and a smoke, sat down and it was gone! Spent ages looking for it just to prove to myself that my marbles hadn't actually gone, and it wasn't time for that voluntary hospital check in. Yay.
"I wasn't allowed to watch power rangers because it was too violent, and yet I was allowed to play doom" I wasn't allowed to watch x-men because their powers had to have come from Satan, and yet I was allowed to play doom...
I wouldn't let my son watch Harry Potter movies but we played Mortal Kombat together since he was around 3 or 4 years old. It's a parent's perogative to be as inconsistent as one wants!
To be fair, Doom is a videogame where you mercilessly slaughter demons. So if you ARE strictly anti-Satan, then it makes sense to be fine with your kids playing it.
My parent's neighbour is blaming my generation for the super rich space race. She didn't reply when I told her that Richard Branston is older than her and Jeff is 21 years older than me. It was my first 'Ok Boomer' moment. She also blamed my generation for eating Macdonald's in the 80's and having the plastic toys but it was her generation buying us that crap. I was born in the mid-80s I didn't have any money 🤷🤣
When they pulled the video down yesterday, I had just gotten to the part of the video where Fact Boy said that if they wanted to stop him, legislate against him. Honestly, i was kinda hoping that it was on purpose cause that would have been genius 🤣🤣🤣🤣
"50 years from now we have like 16k and GTA 17" Bloody hell Simon, are you smoking crack? You really think we'll have GTA17 in 50 years? At the rate Rockstar is going we'll be lucky to have GTA9 by then, lol.
Michael Buffer has had that phrase, "LET'S GET READY TO RUMBLE!" trademarked since the 90's. It's insane. He made BANK off Turner/WCW back in the late 90's because of how often they used him. Getting paid more per appearance than the majority of the roster save for the absolute top workers. Lotta times made more money than all the boxers on the card he was announcing, save for the main event winner. It's insane.
Simon should do a biographics video about him or something. It's insane to me that you can trademark a phrase. Kind of seems to throw "freedom of speech" out the window.
In the Dutch news there was an article about the big fastfood chain Wendy's which is fighting a legal battle for over 20 years against a local snackbar which is also called 'Wendy's'. The local snackbar is preventing the big corp to open up stores in the Benelux because they have trademarked the name 'Wendy's'.
Man, I was absolutely sure I had seen a Business (er, BRAIN) Blaze video uploaded earlier, but when I went to it it said it was private. Good to know I wasn't insane
Thanks Simon. It struck me at the end how much I abhor those congressional hearings where some poor soul, as deserving of criticism as they may or may not be, is made to endure hours of unfair interrogation by lawmakes with unknown motives. It is the nearest thing we have to kangaroo courts.
@@teambacon That's as good an explanation as we will ever get, because good lord how does this man have the time to do all of his channels AND have a family
Studies have shown that violent video games REDUCE violent outbursts. It’s a stress reliever. Anecdote: I also had Doom for the PS. My sister and I had our own PSs, copies of games, and old TVs. When we’d get mad at enough to get physical, my dad would connect our consoles to play PVP on Doom. We’d murder each other repeatedly but within 5 or 10 min we’d be having fun together and not angry anymore!
I used GTA that way. I would go on a rampage in the game if I was angry and get that aggression out in a few minutes. After that I'd switch games and have more fun.
It doesn't matter how many times we repeat it, there will always be people falling over themselves to demonize whatever they don't like, or simply because of ideology, whether it's Tipper Gore or a radical feminist.
I played the HELL out of Road Rash II on Sega. You could beat up cops and other riders with punches, bats, or chains. How many times did I get arrested for hitting a cop while riding my real motorcycle? LOL 😆
My mother refused to let me have G.I. Joe figures growing up, but I was allowed any realistic water gun I wanted...she said the figurines promoted violence... It finally occured to me she was just against the outrageous cost sink of all of the collectibles, had nothing to do with an anti-violence stance.
Simon, did Congress call you to testify about Night Trap? Anyone who has played the game knows how truly violent it is to throw vampires into a cupboard when they expect it.
We've had funny stuff on this channel before, sure...but Simon realizing he just felt the urge to clarify that when he chases his wife around the house it doesn't end in rape...that was the funniest thing yet 14:05
I've seen musicians get copyright claimed for music that they themselves wrote. Reviewers and critique channels routinely get flagged for showing even a few seconds of footage from the show/movie/whatever they are reviewing/analyzing. More dubious people/companies will claim videos that are negative towards them. When Sega was getting ready to release Shining Ark, they apparently decided to purge RUclips of any mention of previous Shining games; Sega not only mass filed copyright claims against videos with any footage from prior games, they even filed copyright claims against videos that only *talked* about prior games. Funnily enough, a few years later Sega had to send a cease and desist to a company called eLicense for filling copyright claims (without permission) against videos that used Sega music.
American copyright and trademark laws require very aggressive protection, or you'll lose the trademark/copyright. It's also become a nifty way for especially record labels to cheat random content creators out of their money, because of how music trademarks work.
Like the woman who tried to copyright the word “Hon”. She was on Kitchen Nightmares. Correction: she did copyright it, tried to stop anyone from using the word even in conversation, then filed to cancel the trademark.
Metal Bikinis make no sense as armor! That fashionable loin cloth that Simon failed to call out though, now that is the perfectly reasonable fighting attire.
I remember the Night Trap controversy, and always assumed it was genuinely gory and bloody, like the slasher movies of the era. I didn't learn until much later just how tame and goofy the stupid thing was.
@@Child_of_Old_Gods Its even funnier in the Phillipines. They still have smoke stores advertising and selling to underage kids right outside elementary schools. Smoking companies learned nothing still as evil as ever heh...
Lmao I love that I got to watch this before it got re uploaded! "Cause that's how they do it right? They do it really long?" Fact boy learned a fact and saved his own ass... "Allegedly"
The brother of one of my close friends actually works for Phillip Morris. Like actually makes a lot of money working for them. Good thing I can differentiate between my friend and my friend’s brother, so I won’t cancel my friend. But yeah, evil corporation. Allegedly.
I was in grade school, and with a note signed by the parental unit and 65 cents, I was allowed to return to the lazy adult with a pack of Doral filter 100's. I was in elementary school. I'm 49 now, so this was back in the days when the nation had balls. (and you used a grease pencil to write the prices on the products at the grocery store in the early days of the cash registers in the 80's.. On the honesty system of course..)
Similar to the USS Constitution. A US navy vessel since 1794 and still not decommissioned. I think it's the oldest commissioned warship afloat in the world.
Simon you should trademark the phrase "Allegedly, please don't sue me!", so when people say you're a bell, you can sue them for defamation, and if they say you're a "allegedly a bell, please don't sue me Simon!" you can sue them for infringing on your trademark. Big brain!
'Death Race' was probably the first game based on the movie 'Death Race 2000' released in 1975 and featuring Sylvester Stallone. The synopsis of the movie was "In a dystopian future, a cross country automobile race requires contestants to run down innocent pedestrians to gain points that are tallied based on each kill's brutality." The most famous game based on this movie is 'Carmageddon', which also has cars with similar designs to the movie. Also I'm not surprised your vitamin D count was low, you get it through sunlight, but you're stuck in your basement reading weird scripts. Can't imagine you'll get much sunlight down there. Probably a good idea to let Danny and Sam out of the basement a few minutes each day too, or give them a couple of drinks of Athletic Greens.
I've seen that movie...probably an embarrassing number of times. I always think of Euthanasia day at the hospital, where they wheel out the elderly, but David Carradine runs over the doctors and nurses. 😵
I was soooo busy with work the last few days and now I feel I missed something major! Since I didn’t have time to watch this. Who would dare copyright strike Simon??!!!! How dare they!!!
I was really confused so I had to go back and check: Tobacco adverts are banned in all countries of the European union... except Germany, where the ban will only take effect in 2022. Ah yes, I love this place. /s
Actually, he isn't. Not as long as you ask for permission anyway. Mike and Bruce Buffer coined that phrase, and made it what it is today. They have every right to protect their intellectual property.
Only You Can Save Mankind is a brilliant book, genuinely better than Ready Player One in every aspect apart from length and pop culture references. Seriously, read it or listen to an audiobook before the inevitable Netflix adaptation happens.
Trademarks are intended to prevent consumer confusion so usually apply to a limited range of areas. For example you can have a lawer with the Trademark for the Kentucky hammer and another with the Trademark for the Texas hammer and both are valid. And as far as I understand you can have a Trademark for a product with the same name as another as long as they don't hold the Trademark for the same category.
@@SIX-SH00T3R This is going to be unpopular but auto racing is not a sport. It's a demonstration of technical skills and hand eye coordination, more like Iron Chef.
Fun fact, fact boy. "Not enough room to swing a cat" is in reference to the cat o' nine, and not the actual animal. Side note, it'd probably inflict more damage if you beat someone with an actual cat. 🤔
My dad used to let me play Doom on his home office PC when I was like 5. 26 years of playing violent games since then and I can safely say that I have not murdered anyone IRL.
When FOX News tried to claim Mass Effect was a "alien sex simulator" and the player was "free to romance multiple species" The person they interviewed later admitted they had never played the game at all and everything they said was a lie.
I am guessing that Danny's friend "Holmesy" was just someone with a surname "Holmes" (as in Sherlock), and his school friends gave him the nickname "Holmesy" which would have been pronounced "Home see".
There was one time that Target was discovered using their customer data to predict advertising (and probably still do). There was an incident involving their pregnancy related coupons and ads in the mail; a man discovered that his daughter was pregnant because Target calculated it out and included coupons for cribs and baby clothes in that month's mailer.
But the "let's get ready to rumble" was a parody and therefore is perfectly legal to use without needing to bother with copyright stuff, allegedly... :P
Buffer has sued over it and won. Kind of a cunty move if someone isn't using it in a fighting ring. But whatever it's definitely his trademark phrase and delivery and gets people hyped up before fights.
@@JozefLucifugeKorzeniowski you obviously don't understand copyright law. It doesn't matter if it's a combat sporting event or not. Copyrighting is intended to keep others from making money off of something you made. Seeing as how Bruce's brother Mike coined that phrase, they hold the rights to that phrase. Taking or using the intellectual property of others, without permission, is theft. Period.
Wrong! That was imitation, not parody. "Let's get ready to crumble" would be parody. I don't know where you studied copyright law, but you need to demand a refund.
@@SkunkApe407 what? Where did I imply buffer COULDNT sue if it was used outside of his main venue? I implied he could CHOOSE not to since it was not a direct replacement for his product. you're hardly literate you know that right? Well you know now at least. I wouldn't try the bar exam anytime soon if I was you.
This whole episode has brought back memories, not only did I play Barbarian as a child but I also have the opportunity to work with Stanley Schembri (one of the programmers at Palace Games who developed the C64 version) later in his career.
Honestly? I like this. Not that you were threatened with what I have to assume is legal action, but the fact that you explained it. I do realize you’ve talked about this shit before, but here we have an actual example that we can point to. “Hey, this is how legality, copyright, trademark, and the like works.” Honestly, I think it would be great if you did something dedicated to teaching about applicable knowledge. “Hey kids, this is what to do for when you’re concerned about trademark!” Things like that. Thank you for posting this, Simon.
@@613aristocrat thanks! I actually had already seen it, but it is a good video! Admittedly, I just want to see our beloved factboi cover relevant topics. TomScott and Legal Eagle are great channels though and I happily watch them.
I can see this is going to be coming back for at least one more video in the future. As we did not touch on Jack Thompson and GTA or Carmegeddon which was Death Race in all but name. Carmegeddon was a case where it began with actually running down civilians as in the Death Race 2000 movie (As opposed to the Jason Statham film.) but after some legal headaches in places like the UK, this civilians became green bloodied zombies. At least in the retail version, I am sure people like Danny soon had there's modded/patched to the original form.

Wait, this isn't a cult?
I remember the Night Trap controversy, and always assumed it was genuinely gory and bloody, like the slasher movies of the era. I didn't learn until much later just how tame and goofy the stupid thing was.
I like too imagine that "Danny Salter" is "Danny Trejo" who is just off screen, looking so sad when Simon rips on his script.
"I remember when smoking was advertised on the street."
"Calm down grampa. Come on, take your medicine."
It's still advertised on the streets in germany
@@Desugan69 Still? I don't live there anymore.
@@Child_of_Old_Gods Its even funnier in the Phillipines. They still have smoke stores advertising and selling to underage kids right outside elementary schools. Smoking companies learned nothing still as evil as ever heh...
Dont forget to eat ur walkers crisp.
It hurts my gums!!
@@bayoubilly5176 packaging on the cigarettes have pictures of people suffering from smoking related illnesses. In the Philippines
Simon probably should have said "allegedly" a few more times during the first upload to avoid any legal hassles. 😁
LET'S GET READY TO allegedly RUMBLE!!!
His did you know us Americans love women with colder bodies🥵 Your English is impeccable, Russian bot lady
@@ecchikitty1395 lol u beat me too it tho I like the breaking it up with allegedly to cover your ass lmao
"I feel like we've done this before" a video with THIS line had to be re-edited and reuploaded? What ARE the odds...
Its time to trade mark: " Am I right Peter?!"
The Buffer bros are savage when it comes to protecting their slogans like "Lets get ready to rumble!"
I'm gonna be honest, I don't even remember the other Buffer brother's phrase. I know he has one because I've watched UFC before.
AND NOW….. ITS TIMEEE FOR THE MAIN EVENT OF THE EVENING
Also, his name is Bruce.
When they said strong call to action I fully expected Simon to say "you're all wankers if you don't buy Athletic Green"
Lmao I love that I got to watch this before it got re uploaded! "Cause that's how they do it right? They do it really long?" Fact boy learned a fact and saved his own ass... "Allegedly"
The brother of one of my close friends actually works for Phillip Morris. Like actually makes a lot of money working for them. Good thing I can differentiate between my friend and my friend’s brother, so I won’t cancel my friend. But yeah, evil corporation. Allegedly.
Can you imagine Apple suing old ladies selling produce at the local market? I can. They should have called it peach shaped fruit that's not a peach.
11:13 missed chance to say "we did it gentleman we created violence!"
I was in grade school, and with a note signed by the parental unit and 65 cents, I was allowed to return to the lazy adult with a pack of Doral filter 100's. I was in elementary school. I'm 49 now, so this was back in the days when the nation had balls. (and you used a grease pencil to write the prices on the products at the grocery store in the early days of the cash registers in the 80's.. On the honesty system of course..)
Simon needs to trademark every other phrase he says in the casual crim. Like "Don't abuse your kids" or "don't write down your crimes "
He has a notebook coming out.
Oh god, when you were plugging Athletic Green, after saying that it has all that your body needs, I totally expected you to add "allegedly"
I can't believe Simon got in trouble for "Lets get ready to rumblllllllllllllllllllllle". Comment, criticism, and comedy are fair use.
I do things like 'lets get ready to grumble' so that when i'm being goofy with family i still can get recorded without risk lol
She was Nelson’s flagship, what a beast. Technically, never been decommissioned, she’s still an active warship.
Similar to the USS Constitution. A US navy vessel since 1794 and still not decommissioned. I think it's the oldest commissioned warship afloat in the world.
@@metgath even though Nelson's flagship has been around since 1765? Constitution is only remarkable in that its still water bound.
Legend.
I shall now endeavor to trademark things that Simon would say in a video. Don’t worry I will offer reasonable rates!
Am I right, Peter
Big brain
Ba da dum dum tsing
Danny and I are on the same page
@@freontec I was thinking the same thing. i say that to my daughter all the time. she is like my name is not Peter. 😂
'Letting the cat out of the bag' is a reference to the cat o ninetails as no-one wanted that particular cat to be taken out of the bag
Finally!!! Someone as hopeful as myself, that we'll have holodecks in our lifetime. Me and Simon, same page.
Simon you should trademark the phrase "Allegedly, please don't sue me!", so when people say you're a bell, you can sue them for defamation, and if they say you're a "allegedly a bell, please don't sue me Simon!" you can sue them for infringing on your trademark.
Big brain!
BRB, trademarking "AM I RIGHT, PETER?!"
This trademark only applies to "announcing sports and entertainment events" I personally would fight the hell out of the strike.
'Death Race' was probably the first game based on the movie 'Death Race 2000' released in 1975 and featuring Sylvester Stallone. The synopsis of the movie was "In a dystopian future, a cross country automobile race requires contestants to run down innocent pedestrians to gain points that are tallied based on each kill's brutality." The most famous game based on this movie is 'Carmageddon', which also has cars with similar designs to the movie.
Also I'm not surprised your vitamin D count was low, you get it through sunlight, but you're stuck in your basement reading weird scripts. Can't imagine you'll get much sunlight down there. Probably a good idea to let Danny and Sam out of the basement a few minutes each day too, or give them a couple of drinks of Athletic Greens.
I've seen that movie...probably an embarrassing number of times. I always think of Euthanasia day at the hospital, where they wheel out the elderly, but David Carradine runs over the doctors and nurses. 😵
I was soooo busy with work the last few days and now I feel I missed something major! Since I didn’t have time to watch this. Who would dare copyright strike Simon??!!!! How dare they!!!
I was really confused so I had to go back and check: Tobacco adverts are banned in all countries of the European union... except Germany, where the ban will only take effect in 2022. Ah yes, I love this place. /s
When I heard that "let's get ready to rumble" line, it did recall that the guy who says that is pretty butthurt about people using his thing.
Actually, he isn't. Not as long as you ask for permission anyway. Mike and Bruce Buffer coined that phrase, and made it what it is today. They have every right to protect their intellectual property.
@@SkunkApe407 If you're threatening other people for using "your" phrase, that's pretty butthurt.
@@SkunkApe407 Whatever you say Mr Buffer
@@Taurickk yeah, your juvenile response is quite telling, sunshine. You'd do well to get a clue too.
@@SkunkApe407 cool story
Michael Buffer’s a bellend. He’s the guy that owns the trademark
Truth.
Only You Can Save Mankind is a brilliant book, genuinely better than Ready Player One in every aspect apart from length and pop culture references.
Seriously, read it or listen to an audiobook before the inevitable Netflix adaptation happens.
Hard agree, was over the moon to hear him reference it
Trademarks are intended to prevent consumer confusion so usually apply to a limited range of areas. For example you can have a lawer with the Trademark for the Kentucky hammer and another with the Trademark for the Texas hammer and both are valid. And as far as I understand you can have a Trademark for a product with the same name as another as long as they don't hold the Trademark for the same category.
Fantastic work team. As interesting and informative as always is.
28:45 - Oi fact boi !!! You forgot the mighty important Appendix! Hahahaha 🤔😉🤣😎🇬🇧
DAMN dude
Respect.
for reuploading.
Simon's off the cuff ad reads are my favorites. May actually snag some of the green powder
In reality, any sports game is just an evolution of Pong. Just like almost every movie is an evolution of Shakespeare
Well, in formula one, it's only Pong when it goes horribly bad! lol
@@SIX-SH00T3R This is going to be unpopular but auto racing is not a sport. It's a demonstration of technical skills and hand eye coordination, more like Iron Chef.
That mic drop at the end might’ve been one of the greatest “brain” blaze moments of all time
Im so glad i got to hear him say “lets get ready to rumbllllllllllllllllllllllllllle”
I work in Derby and I appreciate your correct pronunciation.
Fun fact, fact boy. "Not enough room to swing a cat" is in reference to the cat o' nine, and not the actual animal.
Side note, it'd probably inflict more damage if you beat someone with an actual cat. 🤔
The cat’o’nine is a whip, right? I think I saw one in a pirate book somewhere.
Edit: Googled it. Yep.
Oh! Yeh! without doubt
Now I'm imagining being 100 watching a 90 year old Simon Whistler doing videos sponsored by Keeps
Hell yeah I got here within 15mins
SIMON YOUR A LEGEND
Glorious!!! Fact boy waits until 45:13 to say Business Blaze !!!! Long Live BUSINESS BLAZE!! Laptedooma
when I clicked and saw the video had gone private - first thought was - someone has finally got him and then FBI open up meme in my head XDXD
My dad used to let me play Doom on his home office PC when I was like 5. 26 years of playing violent games since then and I can safely say that I have not murdered anyone IRL.
I'm going to start using "Boomer Energy" for every 'pass-the-buck,' paranoid and condescending statement I come across this week.
11:05 - Chapter 1 - Gotcha
16:00 - Chapter 2 - Death race
21:40 - Chapter 3 - Barbarian
29:25 - Chapter 4 - Super Monaco GP
36:20 - Chapter 5 - Night trap
- Chapter 6 -
That's a shame, it was a legendary "rumble".
When FOX News tried to claim Mass Effect was a "alien sex simulator" and the player was "free to romance multiple species"
The person they interviewed later admitted they had never played the game at all and everything they said was a lie.
I am guessing that Danny's friend "Holmesy" was just someone with a surname "Holmes" (as in Sherlock), and his school friends gave him the nickname "Holmesy" which would have been pronounced "Home see".
Proud to have seen the full version and now im back to watch it again, including the 5 minute ad for athletic greens before the epic length intro
There was one time that Target was discovered using their customer data to predict advertising (and probably still do). There was an incident involving their pregnancy related coupons and ads in the mail; a man discovered that his daughter was pregnant because Target calculated it out and included coupons for cribs and baby clothes in that month's mailer.
Michael Buffer is known to be quite litigious when it comes to that phrase... 🤣🤣🤣
But the "let's get ready to rumble" was a parody and therefore is perfectly legal to use without needing to bother with copyright stuff, allegedly... :P
Buffer has sued over it and won. Kind of a cunty move if someone isn't using it in a fighting ring. But whatever it's definitely his trademark phrase and delivery and gets people hyped up before fights.
@@JozefLucifugeKorzeniowski you obviously don't understand copyright law. It doesn't matter if it's a combat sporting event or not. Copyrighting is intended to keep others from making money off of something you made. Seeing as how Bruce's brother Mike coined that phrase, they hold the rights to that phrase. Taking or using the intellectual property of others, without permission, is theft. Period.
Wrong! That was imitation, not parody. "Let's get ready to crumble" would be parody. I don't know where you studied copyright law, but you need to demand a refund.
Isn't it trademarked? Copyright≠trademark if so
@@SkunkApe407 what? Where did I imply buffer COULDNT sue if it was used outside of his main venue? I implied he could CHOOSE not to since it was not a direct replacement for his product. you're hardly literate you know that right? Well you know now at least. I wouldn't try the bar exam anytime soon if I was you.
My mom didn't censor the world from me growing up. And I chose to engage in/with things that were age appropriate for me.
I love how Sam's meme reactions are becoming more and more common
This whole episode has brought back memories, not only did I play Barbarian as a child but I also have the opportunity to work with Stanley Schembri (one of the programmers at Palace Games who developed the C64 version) later in his career.
Honestly? I like this. Not that you were threatened with what I have to assume is legal action, but the fact that you explained it. I do realize you’ve talked about this shit before, but here we have an actual example that we can point to. “Hey, this is how legality, copyright, trademark, and the like works.” Honestly, I think it would be great if you did something dedicated to teaching about applicable knowledge. “Hey kids, this is what to do for when you’re concerned about trademark!” Things like that. Thank you for posting this, Simon.
Check out Tom Scott's/Legal Eagles' video on this one. ruclips.net/video/1Jwo5qc78QU/видео.html
@@613aristocrat thanks! I actually had already seen it, but it is a good video! Admittedly, I just want to see our beloved factboi cover relevant topics. TomScott and Legal Eagle are great channels though and I happily watch them.
I wonder if Simon realized that the older generation also blamed the following things before video games.... Cars, Rock N' Roll, D&D and Jazz.....
I can see this is going to be coming back for at least one more video in the future. As we did not touch on Jack Thompson and GTA or Carmegeddon which was Death Race in all but name. Carmegeddon was a case where it began with actually running down civilians as in the Death Race 2000 movie (As opposed to the Jason Statham film.) but after some legal headaches in places like the UK, this civilians became green bloodied zombies. At least in the retail version, I am sure people like Danny soon had there's modded/patched to the original form.
I loved carmageddon. Lost many hours on that as a kid. As much as some pedestrians have tempted me. I’ve never got a real life “extra style bonus”
