Last I checked all of AVGN's videos were either parody or reviews (or both) which would leave the copyrighted material under the fair use clause... But then again this youtube, where you can be banned for saying the words 'Shining Force 3' in a video (not kidding, some people were banned for just saying those words)

I know there are some that are Anti-AVGN but I'm not. I have the DVDs and always watch the videos at the real site Cinemassacre.

Youtube is ridiculous, their automated copyright system is completely broken and has been banning people without reason for years. I hope they get sued blind.

It's funny you say that, because my initial thought upon finding this out was, "did he have any Shining Force videos on his channel?"

That sucks.

Then again, I haven't been paying attention to AVGN for years. I'm hoping that he'll release some kind of box-set with all of his AVGN stuff in the future, instead of having to buy season one or two DVDs seperately.

By the way, last video I saw had to deal with the Godzilla franchise. I'm sure he's done more than that since...just haven't had time to catch up.

There were his classic Sega CD and 32x reviews and I'm sure Sega didn't like him displaying all those old embarassments of theirs.

He hasn't even made videos in over a year anyways, I think he's done. If you want to watch the older ones though just go to his actual site cinemassacre.

He has made some but hasn't been as active as years before since he is heavily involved in his AVGN movie that he is producing at the moment.

This is so dumb. I can't believe Youtube would do that. No class.

It's goddamn free advertising. What part of that don't they get? DX No copyright infringement here. It's not like he was saying he developed the games himself.

What's wrong with them?

Also take into account how bad false flagging can be. There's a few users who are just that spiteful.

Yeah. There has been a flame war going on between AVGN and Irate Gamer fanboys, with flagging left and right. The worst part is, if memory serves, the IG actually encouraged this nonsense in one of his videos (unlike James, who never commented on it, as far as I know). I wonder if this contributed in any way to this ban.

I stumbled across a mess between multiple channels. Apparently, some guy didn't like being made fun of, so he kept false flagging people. Pretty much no one liked him after that.

The AVGN and reviewers like him for video games and movies, as well as parody shows like Dragonball Z and Yu Gi Oh Abridged have been banned before. It's to be expected with a site like Youtube. All his content is still up on his site

Someone could have simply been filing false DMCA's against his accounts. Anyone can file such a claim against any video and claim copyright infringement, and Youtube takes action against the person who had the DMCA filed against them first, examines whether or not any copyright was infringed upon afterwards if that person challenges it, and such a challenge can take quite some time. I remember when creationist Christians were filing false DMCA's on free thinker channels while pretending to not understand what fair use is.
