    Damn, that's cunning for a 15 year old. Someone needs to talk to their account suspension department.
  • Pete Cashmore · 2 years ago
    Chaser's is actually pretty funny. Maybe a bit of controversy will help them along.
  • Ross · 2 years ago
    Not a bad idea, if you don't like the content being uploaded claim to be a copyright holder....
  • Rex · 2 years ago
    Funny, but this says a lot about the copyright fear that has been put in place at YouTube.

  • Techified · 2 years ago
    Chasers war on everything is such a good show, this 15 year old looks to have a future in law, he seemed to do pretty well at 15

  • soju · 2 years ago
    Video no longer available. I guess it didn't survive the carnage either.
  • Fable · 2 years ago
    Wow. Talk about embarrassing...
  • Devil May Cry · 2 years ago
    Wow... just... wow.
  • Stephen Tordoff · 2 years ago
    ^^ "This video is no longer avaliable"

    Looks like it didn't survive for long
  • LIve tv · 2 years ago
    Chaser ..lol ... so YouTube doesn't plan to do anything about this?
  • Mister President · 2 years ago
    I am mister President of the stated states, I am stupid that I am pretending to be someone I am not who I am actually am.

  • Grimm · 2 years ago
    What would've been better for that 15 year old kid to do, is get rid of all the gay ass AMVs on that site. LMAO Final Fantasy/Linkin Park LMAO
  • Hmmm.. · 2 years ago
    Hurray for the 15 year olds.

    Quote from the ABC website,
    "The ABC grants you a licence to download these audio-visual files for your private, personal, domestic, non-commercial use only".

    Looks like they are NOT encouraging netizens to spread the videos, from their context.
  • Thomas Huxley · 2 years ago
    He's probably the little bastard that got my chaser video taken down. Little Prick!
  • Racer · 2 years ago
    Thats all we need is some 15 yer old with a nothing better to do.
  • Dave Lugg · 2 years ago
    The video is no longer available =(

    Yeah well I'm sure the Chasers don't mind. They make their episodes available for download every week.
  • Chad · 2 years ago
    All "Chaser's War on Everything" episodes are available for download as torrents... I don't know the details of the license, but content sharing is well within the ABC's policy.

    that friggin kid!! Just 20 mins ago I was ctrying to watch the chaser and it didn't work, i figured my internet was busted, but all the other videos worked. So i was bored and went on dig, and saw this story, hmm, a 15 year old ftom australia...it can be... he cancled the friggin show! I really bloody hope youtube brings it back!! they leave other crap on it anyways!
  • Sharina · 2 years ago
    Now it's obvious that we shouldn't mess around with 15 year olds.
  • Adam · 2 years ago
    Damn I love that show. SUCKS how many clips are now gone. Luckily it's on tomorrow night.
  • MomLinker · 2 years ago
    Kids these days are really good. The next generation of hackers
  • FIRE!!! · 2 years ago
    FIRE!!!

    Sure, anyone hiding behind false identity can speak freely about anything!

    Free speech, but it should be qualified by who is speaking. We clearly need to do something about this.

    If anyone can say anything without being accountable for what it might evoke, there's trouble.

    We can scream FIRE in a crowded theatre, and we can change the flow of things; even change peoples' lives entirely, and no one is culpable because they're hiding behind a proxy.

    Something needs to be done.
  • rob bukey · 2 years ago
    It happend to me with one of my chaser clips, its so annoying!
  • Richard · 2 years ago
    Presumably now that YouTube know who created this request, they can re-instate the clips. And perhaps the kid should be barred from YouTube
  • notrick · 2 years ago
    youtube - coward
  • Evil Pundit · 2 years ago
    The best part of this is that The Chaser continually pulls hoaxes on other people.

    Now they've had a hoax pulled on them!
  • Jim · 2 years ago
    Oh dear, what is it that we are doing wrong that fifteen year olds are so angry with us? We must attempt to open a dialogue with them so that we can change our culture and our society in such a way that we will no longer force innocent fifteen year olds from becoming Web terrorists and forcing those poor people at YouTube to take down video clips.
  • BlueNight · 2 years ago
    Keep laughing, folks. The biggest economic boom (or bust) the world has seen yet is on its way, and its name is INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS, LICENSING, AND DISTRIBUTION.

    Sure, iTunes is making a killing with Internet delivery of "purchased" music. But we'll see who's laughing when the only things you can watch on TV cannot be stored on VCR, DVD-R, or DVR (Tivo) indefinitely. Not to mention the slow death of the book industry, of which the author received the LEAST amount of compensation compared to the printer/binders and distributors.

    YouTube is free uploads by anyone. When they start cancelling accounts en masse and deleting "probably copyrighted" video, the end of "free" will be in sight.
  • Doug Youtübé · 2 years ago
    That does it. I'm going to send a cease and desist letter to Youtube and make them take down all their videos.

    After all, if they're not going to check whether a copyright claim is legitimate, they probably won't check to see if my name is real...
  • Chris TV · 2 years ago
    That's one of the problems with the DMCA laws. Anyone can threaten you to take down something and usually get away with it.
