SBrax Yup, the video has now been removed from the channel but you can still find versions on other channels. I’d also just like to say that out of all the people the yogscast have covered I was honestly really fucking surprised it was the village people who were the ones that finally did it.
Not when the parodies are for-profit, which Milkman definitely was. It's unfortunate, but the reason they didn't fight it because they knew they'd lose. So they took the initial profits and just accepted the take-down on TH-cam / iTunes, etc. I don't think they were actually sued / taken to court. That would be quite the effort from the studio I doubt they would do that.
Eren Jaeger Fair use does not stop applying when profits are involved, that is actually specifically why fair use exists. Its tricky because you have to be able to definitively prove that you are parodying the work, which record labels and artists with enough money can make take a really long time and cost a fortune.
Having played this game a lot, I cannot stress enough the importance of the expert leads. A lot of time it's like, Holmes used 5 leads to solve the case, 2 of them were experts.
I think some guy tried sueing them for music they used in moonquest (Which they got off of a royalty free website). They didn't lose any money but had to take down the videos.
Lewis should never be counted out in these games, as he is a formidable foe. And the best looking of the group. Also the funniest. Lewis is my favorite in these games. B+
So the Russian count had his gem stolen, and he knew it was an "Englishman", so he believes the General stole it for his collection. He hired the Matins to find out if this was really true and to retrieve the gem if so. Pierre Matin was going to sell the info to the publisher and get double money, so the Count had him killed. Andre had a legitimate meeting time with the General but instead arrived early and pretended his visit was unrelated. The letter was legitimately from his French lover, but something made the General see through the ruse so he got down one of his swords and hid it until he was 100% certain the man was there to kill him. A French woman of "good family" could very easily be married to a count. I'm not sure of the year of this case though, which makes the marriage thing a little sketchy.
They got sued over the Milkman song?!

They wouldn't of said that they were sued if they weren't.
This is why we can't have nice things

Milkman was one of the best songs ever....r.i.p

What a British injury, cutting your lip during a tea break
May have been the same thing that cut Ben's hand in a different video
A duel for the last biscuit
Instead of getting 'glassed' he was mugged.
SPOILER WARNING! Derek Starfucker killed Pompo.
Peter Negan beautiful
That BASTARD
Lewis is getting much more done in this game then he usually get done in any other game.
Well yeah, there's a murderer on the loose!
He has to be good at this kind of thing, learn your enemy and what not. He is the Bristol Pusher after all

I've been waiting for this, something about this really excites me
I bought this game for my family to play at Christmas. Looking forwards to it!
Don't give them any ideas, they might kill you!
did you buy it from the yogscast store? :) it helps the channel out a lot and lets them continue making more cool videos ;)
"The Napoleonic war was known as the great war [...]"
"Hold my schnaps"
the bigger mystery is how lewis cut his lip
Pyrion's French accent is amaaazing.
So, the Village people, the Olympics, who else has sued the ol' Yogs?
Jas1066 you haven't?
I think some guy tried sueing them for music they used in moonquest (Which they got off of a royalty free website). They didn't lose any money but had to take down the videos.
You mean the 2003: A Space Odyssey theme?
The Olympics sued them?!?
For the whole Yoglympics thing I think? Something to do with the name being a bit of an infringement on the Olympics as far as I can recall

I'M LIKIN THIS! Keep goin!
I am so into this, if there's more mysteries you guys can do on games night, you can know for sure I'll be back
LMAO austin powers like music intro
Pflax sounds just like my French form tutor
Mikael Hanif He sounds almost Quebecois in places
DETECTIVE BOOOOOOYS!!!!
It's really hard to pay attention through the "French" accents.
This is the first series which I legitimately like Pflax in and am not just putting up with him because of the other people and content.
Lewis should never be counted out in these games, as he is a formidable foe. And the best looking of the group. Also the funniest. Lewis is my favorite in these games.
B+
This is actually really good
can anyone help me find the music from epidemic? i cant seem to find it
Great video guys
why does pyrion have his wedding ring on his MIDDLE FINGER ??!?!?!
so that he can tell people to fuck off because he has a wife?
How the fuck did they get sued for a parody?
Because the video was monetized. Fair use doesn't apply if you make money off of it.
Even if it wasn't monetized, corporations do not like fair use and do not consider it is something that applies to them.
This is false
YMCA Sued them over the MILKMAN song?!
Fucking hell, I never liked the YMCA to begin with...
Not the YMCA you fool its the village people who own that song. :)
Village people sued them not the actual Christian group.
Shows how much I care about who actually owns the rights to the song doesn't it.
The funny thing is that the YMCA tried to sue the Village People, back in the day, over their song.

Is Pyrion a dad? 'Cause he's really good at switching between character voices XD
Yes, he talked about how his daughter knows more about Minecraft than him in the Poker Night videos.
It was the butler the whole time.
anyone else finding the music like 10x louder than it should be
That’s my hat 😂
Is the Great War ww1 or 2?
