I know you've just spoken about your copyright issues as though they are boring, but I'd love to watch a video of the most outrageous copyright claims, interrupted with stories of the weirdest or most frustrating ones that Simon has had to deal with.
I grew up in the small town where Tom Hanks and his wife live and there it’s common knowledge that they’re not very nice people. There was a substantial lawsuit brought against the couple who refused to pay the contractors who had done a massive remodel on their home. They had been difficult and demanding clients, changing their minds after work had begun, and as a result, the building costs were much higher than initially expected. But when it came time to foot the bill, the Hanks refused to pay. The incident went to court in the mid 2000’s when I happened to be the baby-sitter for one of the prosecuting lawyers. The lawyers representing the contractors all went out to celebrate their victory after the long and highly contentious case, and as usual, I had been babysitting- but that night I was tipped more generously than I ever had been in my life!
@@tripsaplenty1227 um…ok. The lawsuit is a matter of public record and can be verified. As to the babysitting for the legal team- well you can take me word, or not. That’s up to you. Ketchum Idaho was a small town with a tight knit community- the original conditions for breeding gossip. That’s just a part of living in a place where everyone knows everyone else’s business.
Hello I have been going to sea since 1982 Richard Phillips is the most hated Captain I have ever heard of. Every person I know that sailed with him hated him every one. On that voyage he did not go around the pirate waters but sailed right through it. This lets him save fuel by following a shorter path and be able to go slower yet still arrive on time. Makes him look better then the other ships captains working for Maersk. That is what the law suite is over. If a crew member so much as uses a wire wheel without eye protection he is fired on the spot, but its ok for the captain to disregard all safety rules.
There is an 60's to 70's classic Greek movie with a very similar plot. A shipping company needs to send a large cargo to a foreign country but due to bad weather the shipping departure is slightly delayed. This could mean a large financial loss for the company but not all hope is lost. There are a few days before the deadline expires and the weather is good, however the distance is too far to reach in the remaining days left. It's too late. That being said, the owner hatched a plan to set sail in the pretence of going to the port but without a time limit. However, long after reaching deep sea waters the captain orders to increase the pressure of the steam engine to increase the speed of the boat. Initially, all went fine but due to the extended period that this was happening and the orders of the captain to put *even more* coal, the engine explodes and all the crew, besides one lucky guy, died. The boat sunk and, although there were people that managed to survive the explosion, they succumbed to their injuries and eventually died as well. One of the crew members who was present, before dying, told the survivor that he heard the one monitoring the pressure yell "No more coal! No more coal!" before the explosion and gave him a telegram, from his friend in the communication station, which the captain recieved from the owner ordering him to increase the coal input to increase the speed with a quick but detailed description of the reason that was happening and the rewards if he pulls it off. The results were mentioned earlier but the survivor returned back safe and sound and decided to file a lawsuit against the company. The company did it's very best to cover everything up and beaten up the survivor to keep his mouth shut but when the trial happened the irrefutable evidence, the survivor presented, lead to the shut down of the company, with a lot of money in debt to the families of the deceased and the eventual cardiac arrest of the owner from this incident whom nobody else but his family cried for. The phrase "No more coal! No more coal!" is very famous and most people have, at least, heard of it.
Simon I care about your rants. They make Brain Blaze interesting and unique over your other (insert number of current number of channels here) channels.
Simon was thisclose to having a mental breakdown on Brain Blaze talking about copyright law and being woken up at 4am. I was expecting him to scream into a pillow on camera
I did costume coordination on a film and it is huge deal to make sure none of the extras are wearing LOGO tees. So, if you get a friend to wear a Brain Blaze Tee in the crowd scene you can technically sue the film company for usage rights. The film company would probably cough up some undisclosed product placement use fee and it would never go to court, hence no lawsuit.
Ay! Simon as a Turkish man who definitely doesn't have anything to do with Huseyin Kalkan I can give you a pass on anything you've said about Turkey this video :)
Simon: Danny, your introductions are too long Also Simon: (Rambles on about copyright for 10 minutes in the introduction. ) Never stop doing one or the other or both.
That photo of road chalk is an obvious implication that Tom Hanks is smuggling kidnapped children in mediocre $12,000 cabinets named "Alyssa". Wake up sheeple.
This is cruel move by McDonald's, this little old lady from a small town in Scotland, I forgot the name of the town, but her family started a mom & pop cafe called McDonald's which was their family name. McDonald's took her to court and she won because her cafe which she kept on going had been around since the 1920's and it's her family name.
Holy cow... "go to the church and ask god to forgive you"... uber obscure Canadian short film from the 1980's reference... thanks Sam! It's called 'The Sweater' in case you want to look it up.
@@kieronparr3403 TH-cam has listened to the Almighty Algo when it said purge negative opinion to "protect creators" but the creators still see it... Just the faceless horde won't be able to see dislikes anymore.
Just do a Blaze or TopTen on the dumbest TH-cam situations you've encountered. Some Toobers and YT itself can be complete bell ends, poking them would be entertaining.
My uncle was a merchant marine in the late 90s and the 2000s. He would tell us stories about pirates. One of the things they would do is have buckets full of hardened cement along the edges if the boat. When pirates would pull up next to the ship trying to board they would shove them off and watch them destroy the boat below. The most graphic situation he ever witnessed with pirates was when his ship was pulling double duty transporting Navy seals around Africa.....it didn't end well
Die Hard is a Christmas movie. I always love it while having to watch Rudolf and Frostie with the kids. And I see Simon has had to deal with too many lawsuits.
@The Stranger That's long gone. YT censured dislike count from all, who don't make money from this platform just this week. Thus making all the stats useless, for choosing what to watch. You wouldn't get that high dislike ratio anyway, because of echochambers all the social platforms has tweaked to trap every registered user in their own infobubble, appealing to whatever you agree and like, to maximize engagement and profits. Anything as contraversial to get 1/3 dislike ratio under these conditions would be likely taken down anyway. For those, who don't take drastic measures, there is no escape from this damaging reality.
If the people suing over borat were led to believe their interactions weren't going to be what they ended up being, and they signed BEFORE the filming, that's predatory.
Simon and co really... REALLY needs to do a Brain Blaze Collab with The Legal Eagle re TH-cam fair use!! Get on it Fact Boi! Why has it not happened? Though he might have something to say about you keeping Danny locked in your basement! Lol
The US isn't very litigious and it's actually kind of hard to win lawsuits. But in the fight against liability for their actions, companies like McDonald's spent an insane amount of money on PR campaigns and lobbying the media to create the impression that frivolous lawsuits are a problem. The result is that it gets harder and harder to win real lawsuits while the public believes it's getting easier.
Free/Keep Danny Shirts: I bought one of each shirt because I just can't decide. On one hand, Danny deserves to see the sun again, with some sweet cash in his pocket. On the other, we need to keep the our Fact Boi happy.
Simon picked wrong on which shirt to back. If he had made it that the "free Danny" shirt money went to Simon and the " keep Danny" money went to Danny then Simon wins either way... If the free shirts won. Simon gets money, Danny is broke and homeless, will have to come back. If the keep shirts won then Danny would not be able to spend any money without Simon letting him...
The town of Batman was also a center of one of the funniest and disastrous commercial campaigns for Durex (the one where they open a condom home delivery service)
36:54 The thing I hate about this film (while funny yes) is that in reality…it’s a wealthy man and an extremely rich production company who ultimately exploit the comparatively / poor people by offering them money they undoubtedly need and then humiliating them in front of the world. It’s actually pretty disgusting if you think about it.
If people complain about Simons rare Magic Spoons munching sound. Imagine the complaints about the constant razzle of chains. Can the comment section handle that? 🤔
This episode has my all time favourite ever tangent, And the fact that simon keeps trying to get out of the tangent, gets back into the tangent, and continues to tangent into why he's tired which probably explains the tangent is truly a BB masterpiece *Chef kiss*
It’s weird how successful this script is in never mentioning the term “honor killing” while describing the practice as well as who is responsible for performing the murder - staying away from the YT demonetization machine, nice!
I listened to this, but on TH-cam while doing other things… @ 19:15 I was waiting SO hard for the iRobot “no” that I had to pause my game and look at the screen 😂😂😂
Tom Hanks is such a nice guy, that if you were to read the headline tomorrow "Tom Hanks punches nun". Your firdt thought would be, "WOW, that nun have really done some shit to piss off Tom Hanks!" - Christopher Titus
What we really need is an epic blaze where 7/8 of the video is just the introduction and then the last little bit Danny just throws in a quick list with very little diallogue
I also enjoyed Interstellar, my wife hated it. I tricked her into watching it by telling her Matt Damon was in it then she was even angrier at me when his character was a bell end.
The Borat thing seriously makes me wonder how many brilliant scenes are just sitting on a shelf somewhere because the person/people didn't sign the release
As it often happens, Simon, you are wrong - the 3rd part with Samuel L Jackson is definitely the best - those dialogues are a masterpiece. I, too, are gonna watch all in the coming days. Thank you, your writers and editors for the stuff you make!
Actually Simon, I believe even you've pointed out at times that being drunk isn't grounds enough to get out of a contract because you got drunk of your own free will, then proceeded to also enter into the contract of your own free will.
I love your tangents! It's a window into your mind. You're so professional on your other channels. Yes, I am a subscriber on all of them. Yes, I have purched the murch.
I almost choked with how hard I was laughing during that tangent. I mean, I loved it and thought it was super interesting, but I just lost it when you talked about the meme, said you were going back to the script, and then just started talking about the baby. You legend!
@38:00 I work in reality TV and I have to get people to sign releases all the time. I've NEVER had anyone read it. They see the cameras and just sign it. It's weird.
Was that the case between Coolio and Weird Al with Amish Paradise? Al asked the production company, who said yes, but Coolio said no? And no one bothered to let Al know that Coolio had said no?
I have to like and comment on this old video purely for the obscure Gundam Wing/ Toonami reference at 9:45 Editor, you have my attention and I see you are a man of culture and taste.
Honestly this is the only channel where a third of the video can be some random ass tangent and I'm loving every minute of it. Oh actually Shadiversity can go into some weird tangents too, he fell in love with a barrel once....... Edit: Lindybeige can do some good tangents too.. uh. w/e Keep blazing on good man.
Mrs Richards: "I paid for a room with a view!" Basil: (pointing to the lovely view) "That is Torquay, Madam." Mrs Richards: "It's not good enough!" Basil: "May I ask what you were expecting to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window? Sydney Opera House, perhaps? the Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically past?..." Mrs Richards: "Don't be silly! I expect to be able to see the sea!" Basil: "You can see the sea, it's over there between the land and the sky." Mrs Richards: "I'm not satisfied. But I shall stay. But I expect a reduction." Basil: "Why?! Because Krakatoa's not erupting at the moment ?"
An important ingredient of The Brain Blaze (not The Blaze, that’s… different :T ) is Simon tangenting like he’s blazed tf up but actually just has adhd
@Brain Blaze You should be able to contest it, the strike/monetarisation should then revert to you unless they actually take legal action. And since if any lawyer looks at it, they will dismiss it, nothing should ever happen when you contest if its actually clearly fair-usage. Unless they have changed it recently.
"Should" is not a recognized legal term. While in theory it should be a simple matter of "is it fair use" in practice, the issue is "can we squeeze any more money from our intellectual property without doing work ourselves", and the answer is unfortunately, too often, "yes". The cost v. benefit is always in favor of the bigger pocketbook/better lawyer, leaving those using the IP fairly, pretty screwed.
@@andiward7068 Not really true here, once the content producer hits contest, basically nothing at all happens unless they actually sue. And if they do sue when it's blatantly fair use, even in the US then they have to pay your fees.
FYI Captain Philips also tours as an inspirational speaker, I met him when he spoke at my university. He seemed nice enough but of course his version of events was pretty different from his crew's version. Im struggling to remember but I'm almost entirely certain it was more in line with the movie. Definitely gotta look up the crew's version in more detail because holt shit man
With the song, it could be that the production company didn’t have the rights to either the composition or the recording and it was Fox’s duty to be sure they got permission from the copyright holder. Thats part of what makes licensing music tricky sometimes
Just think, much of the modern legal system can trace its roots back to Emperor Justinian... who lived in Constantinople... which is in modern day Turkey.
I believe how they get around the waiver, is that the waiver says something along the lines of "this documentary or any other film we make". So while participants do think they are filming for a documentary, they also sign away their rights for the footage to be used in anything else made by that production company/people.
Fun fact: I lived about a 6 minute walk from the hotel that the Rudy Giuliani scenes were filmed in for Borat 2 at the time they were filming it. It was in Jersey City. If I saw anyone from the production I didn't realize it.
I was once told to sign a non-compete agreement at a place I had worked for years that had new owners. Everyone got the agreement, and everyone signed it. Except me. I read it first, and kept emailing my supervisor with questions, and I finally asked, "am I the only person who read this thing?" And he said, "apparently, yes." It took them 18 months before they realized I hadn't signed it.

15:05 - Chapter 1 - Unsung heroes
21:55 - Mid roll ads
23:50 - Chapter 2 - A tale of two fishes
29:05 - Chapter 3 - Drill harder
32:55 - Chapter 4 - A journalist abroad
I would like to file a complaint -
the Danny shirt is not actually free.
not gonna lie id be down for a channel where simon just vents about life. and maybe blaze a little bit about his businesses. 11:30-14:30
I don't know this for a fact but I imagine Twilight Zone: The Movie might have had some lawsuits involved.
Nice reference.
I would also imagine that Simon has not seen it.
This is the first one I thought of.
Brand new light setup and you still haven't fixed the damn neon light. Get it together blaze boy
He's a bLAZY boy 😉
I wonder how much more erratic is the raw footage Sam has to edit down for it still end up (brilliantly) chaotic
As it often happens, Simon, you are wrong - the 3rd part with Samuel L Jackson is definitely the best - those dialogues are a masterpiece.
I, too, are gonna watch all in the coming days.
Thank you, your writers and editors for the stuff you make!
Wow, Sam busted out a Gundam Wing meme, never expected that one!
I was listening and had to rewind to double-check I was hearing right 😂
Simon, why don’t you have a Judge Simon channel? I would watch the shit out of that!
Actually Simon, I believe even you've pointed out at times that being drunk isn't grounds enough to get out of a contract because you got drunk of your own free will, then proceeded to also enter into the contract of your own free will.
I love your tangents! It's a window into your mind. You're so professional on your other channels. Yes, I am a subscriber on all of them. Yes, I have purched the murch.
As a fellow father of a newborn, I feel you whistleboy.
14:25 holy s*** man you f****** rock dude keep up the good work
I almost choked with how hard I was laughing during that tangent.
I mean, I loved it and thought it was super interesting, but I just lost it when you talked about the meme, said you were going back to the script, and then just started talking about the baby.
You legend!
well, I live in the Irish village of "The Empire Strikes Back", and from listening to you, we might have a case....
Ahh, 15 minute introduction.
We're back
@38:00 I work in reality TV and I have to get people to sign releases all the time. I've NEVER had anyone read it. They see the cameras and just sign it. It's weird.
Who else wants a channel where Simon just rants about anything he damn please?
Was that the case between Coolio and Weird Al with Amish Paradise? Al asked the production company, who said yes, but Coolio said no? And no one bothered to let Al know that Coolio had said no?
I have to like and comment on this old video purely for the obscure Gundam Wing/ Toonami reference at 9:45 Editor, you have my attention and I see you are a man of culture and taste.
You and your SYNDROME!!! Love the dude's RETURN! (Bader-Meinhoff?) Hahaha!
Honestly this is the only channel where a third of the video can be some random ass tangent and I'm loving every minute of it.
Oh actually Shadiversity can go into some weird tangents too, he fell in love with a barrel once.......
Edit: Lindybeige can do some good tangents too.. uh. w/e Keep blazing on good man.
Simon you forgot to mention Rust! It led to criminal and civil suits for the killing of one person on set and the injury of a second
The suits and charges aren't yet filed at time of production.
I lived just outside the town of BatCave in North Carolina
I've been through there, between Lake Lure and Asheville....no sign of bats though.
ever since you changed the format i keep finding myself rewatching old BB videos more often. #ChangeitbackSimon !
The "go away" and "peasant" at 40:36 has me rolling lol
Glad to see the skull and red plastic cups again. 🥤 It relieves my anxiety about unwanted change. Thanks.
Mrs Richards: "I paid for a room with a view!"
Basil: (pointing to the lovely view) "That is Torquay, Madam."
Mrs Richards: "It's not good enough!"
Basil: "May I ask what you were expecting to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window? Sydney Opera House, perhaps? the Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically past?..."
Mrs Richards: "Don't be silly! I expect to be able to see the sea!"
Basil: "You can see the sea, it's over there between the land and the sky."
Mrs Richards: "I'm not satisfied. But I shall stay. But I expect a reduction."
Basil: "Why?! Because Krakatoa's not erupting at the moment ?"
Never stop your tangents! They are an important ingredient of the Blaze!
An important ingredient of The Brain Blaze (not The Blaze, that’s… different :T ) is Simon tangenting like he’s blazed tf up but actually just has adhd
14:59 "and that was the introduction!"
Masterful *mwah*
@Brain Blaze
You should be able to contest it, the strike/monetarisation should then revert to you unless they actually take legal action.
And since if any lawyer looks at it, they will dismiss it, nothing should ever happen when you contest if its actually clearly fair-usage. Unless they have changed it recently.
"Should" is not a recognized legal term. While in theory it should be a simple matter of "is it fair use" in practice, the issue is "can we squeeze any more money from our intellectual property without doing work ourselves", and the answer is unfortunately, too often, "yes". The cost v. benefit is always in favor of the bigger pocketbook/better lawyer, leaving those using the IP fairly, pretty screwed.
@@andiward7068 Not really true here, once the content producer hits contest, basically nothing at all happens unless they actually sue.
And if they do sue when it's blatantly fair use, even in the US then they have to pay your fees.
FUN FACT- Melbourne in Australia was named "Batmania" for two years before it was changed.
FYI Captain Philips also tours as an inspirational speaker, I met him when he spoke at my university. He seemed nice enough but of course his version of events was pretty different from his crew's version. Im struggling to remember but I'm almost entirely certain it was more in line with the movie. Definitely gotta look up the crew's version in more detail because holt shit man
We love your tangents don't ever change!
With the song, it could be that the production company didn’t have the rights to either the composition or the recording and it was Fox’s duty to be sure they got permission from the copyright holder. Thats part of what makes licensing music tricky sometimes
I was watching this with my eyes closed and had to rewatch when the Gundam wings clip happened at 9:45. Never expected that
Just think, much of the modern legal system can trace its roots back to Emperor Justinian... who lived in Constantinople... which is in modern day Turkey.
15 minutes and 2 seconds for the introduction. A new record
I believe how they get around the waiver, is that the waiver says something along the lines of "this documentary or any other film we make". So while participants do think they are filming for a documentary, they also sign away their rights for the footage to be used in anything else made by that production company/people.
15 minutes intro? I'd say it's getting out of hand, but i absolutely love it.
*Simon, having a breakdown mid-video*
The audience: it's ok, we've all been there
Fun fact: I lived about a 6 minute walk from the hotel that the Rudy Giuliani scenes were filmed in for Borat 2 at the time they were filming it. It was in Jersey City. If I saw anyone from the production I didn't realize it.
I was once told to sign a non-compete agreement at a place I had worked for years that had new owners. Everyone got the agreement, and everyone signed it. Except me. I read it first, and kept emailing my supervisor with questions, and I finally asked, "am I the only person who read this thing?" And he said, "apparently, yes."
It took them 18 months before they realized I hadn't signed it.
