RhettandLinKommunity

Home of Rhett & Link fans - the Mythical Beasts!

People are pirating R&L's videos and posting them on their channels. Some are claiming them as their own. Some are giving credit to the guys, but simply copying the videos as they are. We all know that R&L don't make videos just for kicks. They do it for a living, and if people are posting R&L's videos on their channels, that takes views away from Rhett and Link. Of course, we're all smart fans here at this Kommunity... we know that the best ways to promote R&L are by making them our favorites, posting them on Facebook, and making our own fan videos--NOT by posting THEIR videos on OUR channels.

If you run across a R&L video that is posted by anyone other than R&L, help the guys out by posting the link here. As Link said in this discussion, feel free to comment on the video and their channel wall. Some people, as Link also pointed out, just don't understand what they are doing.

Remember that we are representing both Rhett and Link and the Kommunity. Even though we are Mythical Beasts, proud as we are, please be sensible with your comments, and don't get too beastly.

The Kommunity: Better than ADT.

UPDATE: If you do find a video, check to see if the URL is already here. And to help keep track of them easier, post the channel name after it.

Here are some of the videos that have been taken down or altered in some way, just an updated version of what Jeanette thought of doing:

It ain't much, but its sumthin!
Just to make this topic easier to read....

If you are going to repost links to make a recap, just make sure you put the channel name after the link. It just makes things infinitely easier to keep track of and keeps the topic nice and easy to read.

And also, just so everyone knows, as copied video is just a straight copy. There is a SETI song in which someone has put spanish subtitles underneath, and Link commented on it and said, "gracias."

If it's an edited video and someone has not given Rhett and Link credit for the song, then comment on it and request that they get credit.
Okay, so here is a little recap of what videos are still up. A few have been taken down, so let's work to get rid of these ones too!

I left a comment. I was feeling cranky.
Ok, I have a question regarding some of the stolen videos. As you can see in my previous recap post, a youtuber (MRUNITED64) has copied four of Rhett&Link's videos. There is no credit to Rhett&Link on any of these videos, so clearly it's someone looking for subscribers, comments, etc., and not a fan. Anyways, here's my question: Since there is more then one video, is there any way to report a channel? Not just a video, but the whole channel. I don't think there is, but there might be something I'm just not seeing...?

Also, I suggest everyone comment on those four videos, or send the person a message. The link's are in my previous post. Thanks!
Here are a couple more I found.

ShamWOW Song:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-_3KjBffw7s&feature=player_profi... (straight copy) : XXSKATER101
I uploaded this a few days ago, its from a show i played this weekend.
Please tell me if you think I should edit the description or if I should change anything about it!

Thanks!
Here's a ShamWOW song...it's just the song set to a different video, but there is no credit to R&L that I see.

This was a really good idea, Teresa. ^^

So, a few (maybe 5?) have been taken down since the last recap post.
Keep posting links to copied videos if you happen to find them, it would really help a lot. Thanks! :]
