Uncredited codes on YouTube

[dcx2]

Let's say I found a video on YouTube that was showing off hacks and the uploader appeared to be taking credit for them.  What process could we use to send a takedown notice to YouTube?

[James0x57]

1) Death threats
2) Ask anonymous
3) See if his password is "password"
4) Ask him in a comment or youtube pm


Seriously though... I really don't know. Is the code itself in the video or linked to in an uncredited text form?

We could all spam the comments with the url (use a space instead of a '.') of the code(s) on geckocodes and thumbs up eachother's comments

[dcx2]

The codes are posted plain-as-day in the description, without any sort of credit at all.

Worse, one of the codes is missing a terminator.  So it will fuck up other codes if anyone tries to use it.

And he's a little jerk with a bad mouth, too.  So I would really like to send a takedown notice to YouTube.

[James0x57]

If the hacker himself flags the video as infringing on his copyright, then the rest of us flag as "infringes my rights" -> "other legal claim" we might then be offered an option to speak for the original hacker

other than that + leaving comments, I dunno

[dcx2]

So that's all I have to do, is click "flag as inappropriate"?

[dcx2]

I tried, YouTube wanted too much info, and the takedown notice would have my real name in place of the video being taken down.  Screw that.

[dcx2]

I left some nasty comments.  But it turns out that I think it was just some kid (autistic, to boot!).  He didn't think the names were important...  ::)

I shouldn't have left nasty comments, I shoulda just messaged him privately.  I ended up doing that, and he gave credit for the codes, so I took my nasty comments down.

lol

my #4 suggestion has worked for me in the past but I haven't dealt with foul-mouthed vloggers so I didn't press it

[dcx2]

Yeah, note to future hackers who get pissed off when they find their codes uncredited:

Try the nice approach first.  I know, it's hard when you see hours of your work plagiarized, but just try to be nice first.

just the other day when looking at some of Bully's G.E hack videos, related videos, some noob handing out some of his and Deathwolf's codes in exchange for subscribers, another redirecting them to a site where they have to fill out a survey. i thought that was the lowest of low. and yes. most people who decide to use codes on wii videogames are kids. they don't know any better. all they do is take codes and call them their hacks.

-.- damnit that´s what I already expected. I gave them out for FREE, they only need to visit wiiplaza.
People mostly try to mess with my codes nowadays... every dumbshit is leaking if I send a code once in a PM or they do beg for non-host wifi codes OR want me to host a XP Lobby for them (Goldeneye/Black Ops)

I once sent a code to a guy and told him not to share it.
2 days later, it was posted on 2 different sites and 2 other people added their credit to my code ._. "[Bully@Wiiplaza/Some Noob]"
Now everybody got the code, but in the end, it didn´t really matter since someone else also released a similar hack...
More than the first 200 (!) on the zombies leaderboards are now hacking due to that shit and a lot of fags hosting leaderboard hack lobbies like crazy (last checked 1 month ago).

would you please send me the video link, Jay? :)
I need to flame at him now. That´s the purpoise why I won´t release good codes for "untouched" WiFi games anymore which could be used on WiFi.

I tried to email Treyarch, and I also joined their forum and PMed a mod.

Silence.

I guess Treyarch doesn't want to stop cheaters.

[Dude]

I sent an email to 3 email addresses for treyarch/activision and even an extra one to Nintendo.

I did this months ago and got the exact silence you did, dcx2.

Support and love for the Wii from the COD developers is practically non-existant now and was barely there back when I sent my emails.
Cheating is only getting worse since they've stopped releasing patches.
Cheat codes are spreading and it was only the patches that was holding them back  :mad:

They've abandoned the Wii and the low-life rats have moved in.

Thanks to them, I can't see another COD title being released on the Wii now - only hope is the new home console.

[dcx2]

I tried HVS, too.  The Conduit 2 was JUST released, and they're still actively patching it.

I definitely wouldn't help Nintendo add wifi protection, though.  They would shoot themselves in the foot by adding protection to single player games, and then we'd have to break that protection and wifi games would be open season again.

[James0x57]

Probably true. Didn't Nintendo have some decent protection on Metroid Prime? They should have saved it..

edit: but seriously, these companies should not be too prideful to allow this transaction.. It's almost irritating.
.......I could post in that little update line on the front page of GeckoCodes if you word it to fit. They'll probably see it.
I have full confidence that you, dcx2, could seriously help them.
