I've screen recorded the video so you can view it without visiting the channel and adding to their revenue. This could get my channel removed for copyright infringement. Life is so much fun. See video description.
Yes, your stuff was definitely stolen, and I hope YT helps you. I won't go to the link because just by watching the other video they get support and money. So, if anyone does decide to check out the link leave a dislike and report the video.....Primal England we are behind you and give our support. Sending belly scratches to Miss Molly
Spot on, I'm not watching it either. I seen Jamie from Sherpa's Day mentioning some of his stuff was being used by other people and putting it into their own videos....no it's not on and we shouldn't support it
These people are not only crooks, they're unimaginative cowards that can't come up with anything on their own. I hope it gets sorted out. Until then, we all know you're the original.
Good Morning from North Carolina USA, Nigel! There is no better flattery than imitation but this is outright theft! I will watch the link as soon as I finish today's video . I hope you get some resolution on this crime. Okay, just watched half of that stolen video and left a scathing comment. Im so sorry that someone is making money off your efforts.
Nigel you should report them to TH-cam. They stole your stuff and tried to say it was there's and it is copyright stealing. People shouldn't take other people's stuff and try to use it to make money
There’s SO MUCH of this happening and I think that the rise of Ai is a big part of the problem. The people that have the channels that use stolen content probably just have to ask whichever Ai software they use to reword the script. I’ve found this on several, actually quite a lot, of people that I follow. I’ll see a video and think it’s their’s but when I look at it the pictures are all generic, they’re also Ai generated and the voiceover is so similar to the one on primal’s videos. There’s a whole host of these types of channels and, imo, TH-cam (Google) should be enacting policies or writing algorithms that protect the original content creators. Now, I’ll admit I’m no techie so I have no idea if that is possible, how would they know who the original content creators is. However, it seems to me they’re able to manipulate many things, unsubscribing people from channels they’ve followed, banning people or channels, demonetising etc so SURELY they can figure out a way to manage this “new” problem. For example, IF they demonetised these channels I think you could almost guarantee the stealing would stop, given that it’s ALL. ABOUT. THE. MONEY. I wish viewers could report this kind of stuff as well as the channel owners. I come across SO MUCH of this happening and it does make me angry. Not just for the person who’s comment is stolen but for all the people who get duped into watching them.
She really just does her own thing, Jennifer. Her eyes are going a bit, and what you don’t see is me stopping every few seconds to let her catch up. I watch her sometimes when she loses me and looks round in panic. I have to shout and wave my arms, and she might only be a few feet away. It breaks my heart. ❤️🐕🦺🐾
😢That is one thing that really is aggravation for me these days on TH-cam. And it seems like a epidemic! It seems more than half of what I try to watch on TH-cam is now STOLEN videos, and if you don't look at the name posting it, alot of the time you don't know until the very end of the video. When someone is speaking in a foreign language, or crocheting, cooking, or other very short something. And they will have like 250 k subscribers 😮 Some that are STOLEN, are even very large news programs, like fox News, big programs, especially during the US election. I've reported several, but maybe TH-cam controllers, do not even watch the videos to the very end? You are right, they are making, A LOT, of money and some how, it needs to be STOPPED! Some times I'll have a video on in the back ground on my phone, when I'm doing stuff, and suddenly there is some foreign language and hands crocheting a snowflake. I find it disturbing enough to just shut it off. Sorry to hear that even the small channels are not safe, from the thieves 😢
I didn't watch the other video, because I don't want to support channels who steal other people's content. It's impertinent. On one hand you should be flattered, on the other you shouldn't and maybe get it sorted....thank you for talking about it 👍
Nigel, I think I have come across this before (just checked it out). It's really grotty and my hackles went up pretty quickly then as now because I can't stand AI in any shape or form. I won't watch any of the classic Russian novels that are up on YT because they are AI which really annoys me! Personally I think you should report them to TH-cam because there are probably many more like me who might be put off your channel and wisdom without really checking you out, though having seen and heard you first I feel safe 😊
Thank you so much, Susan. AI was the great saviour, but only if your agenda leaned towards the destruction of literature, as you said. There are things we must protect with our lives. True history written on tablets, rather than history re-written to appease DEI is upmost. Once ink on parchment becomes a relic…. Then we are lost. ❤️
It reminds me of complaining about junk mail deliveries (actual postbox) until it dawned on me that it was the only way for some people to barely be making a living. So yeah, I would take it as a Compliment and add it to your laurels of Kindness.
I've been subscribed to you for a while but have never commented. I love your videos! I'm very sorry this has happened to you. I'm just a tiny channel, but I've always wondered about it, about what I would do if it happened to me. I don't want to put too much energy into negative ideas, though, if you know what I mean. I don't know if there's anything you can do about it, especially since they're not even in the same country as you. Make sure you in your TH-cam video settings that "video clips for reuse" are not allowed. I don't know if that will stop it, but it's worth a try. Thank you so much for all the wonderful content you create! I thoroughly enjoy it. 🧡 ~ Melanie
Thank you Melanie. I have reported the site, but don’t think it infringes copyright laws. I think TH-cam will have to re-think its policies now that AI is so prevalent.
Technology is getting to the point where it's hard to discern the difference between what's real and not real. I've had original recordings of the late great philosopher Alan watts for years. I've seen a lot of Alan Watts videos recently that sound very much like him but it's not. Some of the things that the AI generated Alan Watts says totally change the meaning and context of what he was teaching. History is being changed before our very eyes. Maybe I'm just a redundant old bloke but there's a whole generation that will not only be miss informed, but totally reliant on AI. Musicians and artists will become obsolete. This concerns me in terms of my grandchildrens future. But like you, I get out into nature every morning with my dog and appreciate the real simple life here in beautiful Wollondilli NSW and look forward to my next trip to Bali in a few months, and back to the North of England next November...love your videos my Lancastrian friend.
Oh! There you go! I had a discussion about Alan Watts here on TH-cam a few months ago. I’ve been a kind of crack addict Buddhist for years. I remember 20 years ago my beautiful stoned Buddhist mate saying. ‘All you need is to give up the weed and vodka.’…. Not a chance, mate, Not a fuckin chance. 😊
I think that will be the big wake up call for humanity, not knowing what’s real and what’s not. How can you trust anything on the screen? You can’t. Truth resides in nature and that’s where I think people will go.
Yeah, sounds the same as yours...except yours is waaaay better amd at least yours has personality. Theirs is soulless. Nothing to worry about here. Keep up the brilliant work. 👍
So very sorry for this Nigel. Imitation may be the greatest form of flattery, but there is absolutely plagiarism happening here. It is morally reprehensible, and ethically ...sigh... I used to work as a paralegal here in the US and there was a lot of conversation about cyber crime and how difficult it is to prosecute. I'm not trying to dissuade you from taking YT to task on this, but a lot will hinge on their TOS (terms of service). I'd be happy to help you anyway I can, so please feel free to reach out. I'm not an expert or an attorney, but am happy to offer the skills I do have. Peace, love and gentle wing hugs to you and Molly. 🖤❤
I noticed the same with one of my videos. At first I thought wow they captured the same thing I did. Even the same music. 😂 none of our channels are monetized , it’s all controlled and fake and really funny how serious people take it 😂
You have a new subscriber, and we will promote your channel, of course we will. 😁👍 Our channel ‘I always think of it as mine and Molly’s’ is monetised , but this offers no protection. I think TH-cam will have to have a huge re think soon. I have started a little kick-back, and I don’t think TH-cam will like it. I WhatsApped a friend about it, and she just downright told me ‘You will lose your channel, because you just can’t leave it.’ Sad, but true.

In every generation technology comes along and steals our ideas. I think of the Luddites who resented the new weaving machines putting them out of a job. My mother was a burler & mender in the mill, and foreign cheap imports came along and closed the mills down. I was a piano tuner for 35 years, and digital pianos came along that didn't need tuning, and electronic tuning devices got more and more sophisticated so that people who tuned by ear were becoming dinosaurs. Now it's AI. The music industry and literary industry are being effected already, and it hasn't got going yet. It's impossible to know how we shall all be effected by this new phenomenon, it's hit you my friend, and I am sorry about that, but they will never be able to steal your personality, and in that sense you and I are undefeated.
Great sentiments. I grew up in a northwest cotton town, and witnessed the demise. My first job was as an apprentice lithographer in a print works. Along came the internet. Watch many young people on TH-cam witnessing music from the 70s. They wonder why music like that isn’t produced any more. Seems progress isn’t necessarily progress.
The mumbled growling manifested itself as comments on the offending channel. 😂😂 I just love all the conflict and confusion. Growing old is so much fun….. But only if you lived the rest of your life accordingly….. I did 😊
Their response to most comments including the ones telling them they stole the content seems to be 'Your sharing is wonderful, thank you very much', so I doubt they even read the comments.
Yes, I noticed that. I have left several comments, but I have probably already been hidden. If you are hidden, it means you don’t know your comments aren’t appearing on the channel. I get the distinct impression this is a fully automated channel churning out AI content stolen from other channels.
Nigel ....they are cads....but I'd be flattered too . Everything is up in the cloud. ...wish you could say different many best wishes ....it's saddens me
I’m over it. I don’t stay annoyed for long. It’s not in my dna. I’ll take it as a compliment and move on. Cads…… I’ve not heard anyone say ‘cads’ since Terry Thomas.
Dear Nigel, please report that thief as much as you can, but also don't worry about your own channel losing anything due to that theft. Only your channel is authentic and original and attracts people because you stay true to your content, your personality shines through the way you make and post videos, the way you handle the comment section, the thumbnails you use, the channel description ... A TH-cam channel that is made just to press as much money out of it as possible will never prevail in the long term while posting videos about living a simple life, giving up on sacrificing your soul for the money and criticising the consumerism. Only you yourself and your own channel are authentic! ❤
Thank you so much. I didn’t stay annoyed for long. It’s not in my dna. My main concern is that these kind of channels will proliferate and devalue the platform. I actually think TH-cam will soon update its terms and conditions to clamp down on this.
I didn't watch all of the other video, as it was obviously yours. However, I did leave a comment... not that it'll make any difference. Sadly, it happens all the time. I used to watch a lot of tarot readers, until I realised many of them were being stolen by unscrupulous channels. Often they don't show the original video, the dealing of the cards etc. It's just a card spread laid out as a background, with the original voice. The use of a flickering candle as part of the background, gives the illusion that it's real.
A strategy to try and stop these videos coming up in your feeds is to hit the three dots and ask youtube not to show this channel again. If enough people do that the algorithm will stop suggesting the video
Good point. TH-cam has a great function for comments. If someone comes on the channel looking for trouble I just leave a comment to wind them up, then hit the three dots and choose ‘hide user from the channel.’ They are then hidden, but they don’t know it. I don’t see them, but they can go on ranting into the void. Everyone’s happy, including them.
Nigel, sorry 😐 this has happened to you , it's a shame how some people are,my advice if you or anyone sees this to give it a thumbs down for the scammer, don't know if there is a category we can all report the other video.,thank you for being on really makes for a better day an hope 😀 i can continue to see you, as you are a wonderful person & Your fantastic videos,as you put your whole buetiful emotions an time into then 🐕 🥺🫂🎃🕯️ 🦉 🌰 🥮 🎃 🌚 🌻 🥧 🌼 🐿️
I came across their copy of your video by chance a month ago. I was very shocked they so blatently used your content without giving you credit. I left them a comment when their video came out, stating they had used your content . I hope people who saw my comment looked up your far superior channel.😊
Forget that "imitation/flattery" cliché, this is out-and-out theft of your intellectual property! 😤 However, how you deal with it is another matter: anger, indignation, and frustration are all natural responses but the important thing, as you know, is to not let this business burn your arse for too long. 😫 I'm sure producing this video, reporting the theft to the YT 'authorities', and getting out among the trees with Molly has restored your equilibrium. Cheers👍🏼
You are very perceptive, Mick. Yes, the video, the report, the trolling I did yesterday, the long walk with Molly and now the pre-dinner gin and tonic seem to have done the trick. 😊🐕🦺🍸👹🌳
I was so cross that I just went straight there, gave them a thumbs-down and left a comment saying that they should credit your channel. Sorry if it was the wrong thing to do! Impulsiveness!!
No, Ruth. Thank you. I’m pretty much over it, but have contacted a few of the creators that have promoted my channel, like youtube.com/@bjornandreasbull-hansen?si=nNiFqtBgUMEKRcVE I’m sure Bjorn will have an opinion on AI. ❤️
It's theft. You could take legal actions - hope TH-cam helps here. I'll watch that video and write: this is stolen from primal England ! I guess TH-cam is like Facebook: you own the content.
Thank you. A couple of comments would help. I already left one, but with TH-cam you can hide the person leaving comments, but they don’t know they have been blocked and can carry on commenting into the void. I do it if people used bad language.
Such infractions should be reported to YT, yes. I've seen other examples where people use portions of someone's content simply to denigrate them. Objective: $$
I think the thing that really bothers me is that with the advent of AI, platforms like TH-cam will become devalued, and all the clever, hard working creators will just disappear.
@ I’m actually optimistic. TH-cam is now asking, before uploading, if the video was taken with a camera, and I still don’t know anyone who prefers an AI video to a human video. Seems like TH-cam will slam on AI content sooner or later. I can’t imagine people come looking for fake content over real content.
I don't think you can do anything about it,scrolled to the channel in question and bouth the Vietnamese and Chinese do this to a lot to smaller channels. I will complain on your behalf but i dont think much will come of it . See you on the flip Nigel and Molly
My feelings about AI are uncertain, it can be a marvelous tool, or it can be a means to bring about our extinction. We have fallen very short, of the wise and judicious use of the intelligence we were originally granted, so my faith in any artificial form is sorely limited. Plagiarism, in any form, is wrong, and it should be severely discouraged. Stay well & safe. Cheers
Whenever we create something new with the potential to do both good and bad, we embrace it without considering the implications. AI has been embraced too readily.
I would be spitting! The fact that they stole your content and are using this to make money where you are doing this out of your love for nature and slow living . However , they have done their homework and read the rules and regulations and are bending this to their advantage. There is a loophole that needs to be closed regarding AI generated videos , but I suppose you won't be the first video they have cloned, so yes ! Kick off a bit Nigel, make sure TH-cam knows! Then have a G&T to calm down, have a good weekend. ❤
Absobluddylutely! You spoke my words. These grifters are the reason YT needs a new AI policy. I’d love the knowledge, finance, intellectual backing to create a platform for peaceful, non confrontational content. Where we could come and chill. How bloody cool would that be….. for everyone.
Sadly I doubt there's much you can do. I looked through comments and didn't see anything other than complimentary ones so warning comments are getting deleted. The person is doing well with 40k subscribers using stolen content. 😢😢 Would be nice if they gave you credit. The world is gone mad 😡 as confirmed on Nov 5th.
I should just let it go, but it’s the knowledge that they will continue to make revenue out of mine and hundreds of other creator’s work that annoys me.
I made the spam video private. I was only going to leave it up for a day or two. Ironically enough, I could get a copyright strike for posting content of my own altered content. 🤷♂️😊
This is theft and your the 2nd TH-camr whose called out theft only it was a tiktoker who had stolen the voice of a TH-camr (AI copied her voice) to sell junk TikTok. It was only when several people who watch her channel, recognised her voice and told her about it. She was quite annoyed about it.
Had a look, Nigel. I don't think you have a case. It's annoying yes, but they have reworked it in such a way that stealing is made legal. A bit like the pumpkin across the pond...
I thought that from the start, really. It has to be almost the original to break the rules. I’m over it. I can’t be annoyed for long. It just isn’t in my dna. I’ve got a gin and tonic and a warm dog snuggled up. Life’s not so bad. 😊
It looks like this Norwegian guy Andreas Bjorn Bull Hansen is piggybacking off you too. He just came out with a video 4hours ago titled "why you need a hobby"
I’m subscribed to Bjorn, and he has been very proactive in promoting my channel. In fact, I just left a comment on this video of his to see if he has an opinion on AI. Bjorn is massive as a novelist and TH-camr. I think he gets the odd idea for a video off my content, just as I may off his. That’s great, and gives me a buzz. I noticed the hobby thing, and think he may have just had a memory of my video that fired his imagination. That’s good, but feeding content through an AI generator is just weak and feeble. To think my videos inspire Andreas Bjorn Bull Hansen is so cool. 😊
I’ve seen gardening videos from around the world that are showing amazing results from various tips and tricks. They’re completely fake, and these people make a living conning people. All they need is views.
I was only annoyed for about half an hour. I’ve not got it in my dna. My only concern is that if the platform gets flooded with these channels, then some of talented creators will leave.
Unfortunately, the concepts of honesty and accountability are quickly disappearing from society. I know this as fact because I live in the USA and “we” just re-elected a liar and criminal for our next president. So very sad 🥺
I hear the frustration in your voice and I am sorry. I honestly don’t want to go to that site and give them my view. Less encouragement on my part the better. ✌🏻🫶🏻
No, you are not over-reacting. People run around bringing all kinds of stress and trouble into good peoples' lives. My hope is for you to return to inner peace, whatever path you take. Peace and love...👍😎🇨🇦🙏⚘️🪷💝
You are right, Marian. This is but a blip in my normal peace. I can’t even get angry about it. The only irritant is the knowledge that every video I make could turn up as AI content making some lazy, disingenuous grifter a lot of money.
I can report the video, but it really doesn’t infringe stringent copyright law. It has been altered so that only the storyline remains. It is just lazy and disingenuous. I’ve been uploading for 8 years and podcasting for 9 years before that. Content creators are called creators because they create. I think it just devalues TH-cam.
I've screen recorded the video so you can view it without visiting the channel and adding to their revenue. This could get my channel removed for copyright infringement. Life is so much fun. See video description.
I don't know copyright law but maybe if you just present a clip with credits it would not be an infringement?

It's impossible to know how we shall all be effected by this new phenomenon, it's hit you my friend, and I am sorry about that, but they will never be able to steal your personality, and in that sense you and I are undefeated.
Great sentiments. I grew up in a northwest cotton town, and witnessed the demise. My first job was as an apprentice lithographer in a print works. Along came the internet.
Watch many young people on TH-cam witnessing music from the 70s. They wonder why music like that isn’t produced any more. Seems progress isn’t necessarily progress.
@@primalengland Couldn't agree more.
AI has it's uses...This should not be one of them! You have my heart felt sympathy and there was much mumbled growling on your behave!
The mumbled growling manifested itself as comments on the offending channel.
😂😂 I just love all the conflict and confusion. Growing old is so much fun….. But only if you lived the rest of your life accordingly….. I did 😊
Their response to most comments including the ones telling them they stole the content seems to be 'Your sharing is wonderful, thank you very much', so I doubt they even read the comments.
Yes, I noticed that. I have left several comments, but I have probably already been hidden. If you are hidden, it means you don’t know your comments aren’t appearing on the channel. I get the distinct impression this is a fully automated channel churning out AI content stolen from other channels.
@@primalengland I have reported them.
Sorry that this happened to you. Sending love and peace.
The annoyance was short lived, Cynthia. Annoyance isn’t in my dna. I’m back to being happy me. ❤️
Nigel ....they are cads....but I'd be flattered too . Everything is up in the cloud. ...wish you could say different many best wishes ....it's saddens me
I’m over it. I don’t stay annoyed for long. It’s not in my dna. I’ll take it as a compliment and move on. Cads…… I’ve not heard anyone say ‘cads’ since Terry Thomas.
Dear Nigel, please report that thief as much as you can, but also don't worry about your own channel losing anything due to that theft. Only your channel is authentic and original and attracts people because you stay true to your content, your personality shines through the way you make and post videos, the way you handle the comment section, the thumbnails you use, the channel description ... A TH-cam channel that is made just to press as much money out of it as possible will never prevail in the long term while posting videos about living a simple life, giving up on sacrificing your soul for the money and criticising the consumerism. Only you yourself and your own channel are authentic! ❤
Thank you so much. I didn’t stay annoyed for long. It’s not in my dna. My main concern is that these kind of channels will proliferate and devalue the platform. I actually think TH-cam will soon update its terms and conditions to clamp down on this.
It's disgusting!
🐕🤗🍂🍁
Peace and Love

I didn't watch all of the other video, as it was obviously yours. However, I did leave a comment... not that it'll make any difference.
Sadly, it happens all the time. I used to watch a lot of tarot readers, until I realised many of them were being stolen by unscrupulous channels.
Often they don't show the original video, the dealing of the cards etc. It's just a card spread laid out as a background, with the original voice. The use of a flickering candle as part of the background, gives the illusion that it's real.
A strategy to try and stop these videos coming up in your feeds is to hit the three dots and ask youtube not to show this channel again. If enough people do that the algorithm will stop suggesting the video
Good point. TH-cam has a great function for comments. If someone comes on the channel looking for trouble I just leave a comment to wind them up, then hit the three dots and choose ‘hide user from the channel.’ They are then hidden, but they don’t know it. I don’t see them, but they can go on ranting into the void. Everyone’s happy, including them.
Nigel, sorry 😐 this has happened to you , it's a shame how some people are,my advice if you or anyone sees this to give it a thumbs down for the scammer, don't know if there is a category we can all report the other video.,thank you for being on really makes for a better day an hope 😀 i can continue to see you, as you are a wonderful person & Your fantastic videos,as you put your whole buetiful emotions an time into then 🐕 🥺🫂🎃🕯️ 🦉 🌰 🥮 🎃 🌚 🌻 🥧 🌼 🐿️
That is such a fantastic and comforting comment. Thank you. ❤️😊🐕🦺🐾
Please for the love of God, Report them Nigel!❤
Done, Vince. I don’t think anything will come of it, but eventually YT will have to address AI.
I came across their copy of your video by chance a month ago. I was very shocked they so blatently used your content without giving you credit.
I left them a comment when their video came out, stating they had used your content .
I hope people who saw my comment looked up your far superior channel.😊
Thank you so much, Gillian. I’m really grateful for your support. ❤️❤️
So sorry Nigel. I viewed it and left a very nice comment, hehe. The comment is gone already but I reported it.
😂 That’s very naughty of you. 😂
Forget that "imitation/flattery" cliché, this is out-and-out theft of your intellectual property! 😤
However, how you deal with it is another matter: anger, indignation, and frustration are all natural responses but the important thing, as you know, is to not let this business burn your arse for too long. 😫
I'm sure producing this video, reporting the theft to the YT 'authorities', and getting out among the trees with Molly has restored your equilibrium.
Cheers👍🏼
You are very perceptive, Mick. Yes, the video, the report, the trolling I did yesterday, the long walk with Molly and now the pre-dinner gin and tonic seem to have done the trick.
😊🐕🦺🍸👹🌳
Omg, I just saw the other video, left a comment then seen this one 😂 I thought I was imagining things
Ha! It’s a mad world. 😂
@ …a mad, cheating, video pinching world 😂
I was so cross that I just went straight there, gave them a thumbs-down and left a comment saying that they should credit your channel. Sorry if it was the wrong thing to do! Impulsiveness!!
No, Ruth. Thank you. I’m pretty much over it, but have contacted a few of the creators that have promoted my channel, like youtube.com/@bjornandreasbull-hansen?si=nNiFqtBgUMEKRcVE I’m sure Bjorn will have an opinion on AI. ❤️
It's theft. You could take legal actions - hope TH-cam helps here. I'll watch that video and write: this is stolen from primal England ! I guess TH-cam is like Facebook: you own the content.
Thank you. A couple of comments would help. I already left one, but with TH-cam you can hide the person leaving comments, but they don’t know they have been blocked and can carry on commenting into the void. I do it if people used bad language.
😢 people are losing their own imagination/creativity. Be flattered ❤
Thank you. I agree. If you don’t get enjoyment out of the creation, then there’s only one motive. 👍
That’s awful what they did Nigel. Definitely report them to TH-cam.
I have. I doubt anything will come of it. I’ve been uploading to TH-cam for 9 years. It was never like this. Such a shame.
@@primalengland So sorry. I love your videos. The voice of reason. 🤗
Such infractions should be reported to YT, yes. I've seen other examples where people use portions of someone's content simply to denigrate them. Objective: $$
Of course, Valerie, money is always the motive. I have reported the channel, but I doubt anything will happen. These channels bring in ad revenue.
Won't watch it won't give them support ...hope you can do something ...😢
I’ve seen an epidemic of videos with the same exact title! I never click on them.
I think the thing that really bothers me is that with the advent of AI, platforms like TH-cam will become devalued, and all the clever, hard working creators will just disappear.
@ I’m actually optimistic. TH-cam is now asking, before uploading, if the video was taken with a camera, and I still don’t know anyone who prefers an AI video to a human video. Seems like TH-cam will slam on AI content sooner or later. I can’t imagine people come looking for fake content over real content.
I don't think you can do anything about it,scrolled to the channel in question and bouth the Vietnamese and Chinese do this to a lot to smaller channels. I will complain on your behalf but i dont think much will come of it . See you on the flip Nigel and Molly
I don’t think so either. I’ve looked into TH-cam copyright rules, and I think this has been altered enough. It’s just lazy, and obviously for revenue.
@primalengland but that is what makes it so annoying, same kind of peop,e who call elderly with scam calls 😡
My feelings about AI are uncertain, it can be a marvelous tool, or it can be a means to bring about our extinction. We have fallen very short, of the wise and judicious use of the intelligence we were originally granted, so my faith in any artificial form is sorely limited. Plagiarism, in any form, is wrong, and it should be severely discouraged. Stay well & safe. Cheers
Whenever we create something new with the potential to do both good and bad, we embrace it without considering the implications. AI has been embraced too readily.
I would be spitting! The fact that they stole your content and are using this to make money where you are doing this out of your love for nature and slow living . However , they have done their homework and read the rules and regulations and are bending this to their advantage. There is a loophole that needs to be closed regarding AI generated videos , but I suppose you won't be the first video they have cloned, so yes ! Kick off a bit Nigel, make sure TH-cam knows! Then have a G&T to calm down, have a good weekend. ❤
Absobluddylutely! You spoke my words. These grifters are the reason YT needs a new AI policy. I’d love the knowledge, finance, intellectual backing to create a platform for peaceful, non confrontational content. Where we could come and chill. How bloody cool would that be….. for everyone.
Yep…. G&Ts are derigour. 🍸
I had no idea this happened I will be more aware of the bots 🤖 now and I can understand why you are peed off…
I doubt they’ll last long as they get found out by the creators they’ve ripped off
I think so, too. It would be a shame to get swamped by these kind of channels. Too many people on TH-cam work hard to produce their content.
I reported it. Makes me sad that TH-cam’s checks and balances are so rubbish. Peace & love xx
Thank so much. It’s really appreciated. Bless you. ❤️
Sadly I doubt there's much you can do. I looked through comments and didn't see anything other than complimentary ones so warning comments are getting deleted. The person is doing well with 40k subscribers using stolen content. 😢😢 Would be nice if they gave you credit. The world is gone mad 😡 as confirmed on Nov 5th.
I should just let it go, but it’s the knowledge that they will continue to make revenue out of mine and hundreds of other creator’s work that annoys me.
@primalengland it is very annoying and so not right. I hope you can find a way to stop it. Let us know if we can do anything to help.
The spam video has gone! I just clicked on your link!! Bloody cheek stealing your thoughts!! ❤
I made the spam video private. I was only going to leave it up for a day or two. Ironically enough, I could get a copyright strike for posting content of my own altered content. 🤷♂️😊
Now I know the world has finally gone mad! 😮
I just went in & reported them for stolen content!
Thank you so much. Bless you. ❤️
💟 I have reported the site for you. It annoyingly is not flattering, it is theft. Been going on for years.
Thank you so much. I have reported the channel, too.
I will continue to troll the comment section as much as I can.
PS. Wish list: - the subject of IRONY!
You’re not over reacting a bit. So sorry it’s happening.
Thanks Mark, the support is appreciated.
This is theft and your the 2nd TH-camr whose called out theft only it was a tiktoker who had stolen the voice of a TH-camr (AI copied her voice) to sell junk TikTok. It was only when several people who watch her channel, recognised her voice and told her about it. She was quite annoyed about it.
It is annoying, but little I can do. I just hope this kind of scam channel doesn’t proliferate, and devalue the work of many talented creators.
Homedwellers.
They stole your likeness which is proprietary to you with respect to image and copyright issues. This is theft, not flattery.
I have reported the channel, but copyright is vague in the extreme. These channels bring in ad revenue. It’s all about the money.
Copying anyone’s content without permission is wrong period. It’s sad that people have lost their moral compass.
Had a look, Nigel. I don't think you have a case. It's annoying yes, but they have reworked it in such a way that stealing is made legal. A bit like the pumpkin across the pond...
I thought that from the start, really. It has to be almost the original to break the rules. I’m over it. I can’t be annoyed for long. It just isn’t in my dna. I’ve got a gin and tonic and a warm dog snuggled up. Life’s not so bad. 😊
@@primalengland That's the spirit!
It looks like this Norwegian guy Andreas Bjorn Bull Hansen is piggybacking off you too. He just came out with a video 4hours ago titled "why you need a hobby"
I’m subscribed to Bjorn, and he has been very proactive in promoting my channel. In fact, I just left a comment on this video of his to see if he has an opinion on AI. Bjorn is massive as a novelist and TH-camr. I think he gets the odd idea for a video off my content, just as I may off his. That’s great, and gives me a buzz. I noticed the hobby thing, and think he may have just had a memory of my video that fired his imagination. That’s good, but feeding content through an AI generator is just weak and feeble. To think my videos inspire Andreas Bjorn Bull Hansen is so cool. 😊
Do i think the ai will become like in the Terminator?... well, it was a good movie 😂😂
i saw several years ago somewhere that the cosmic background radiation in outer space is very hostile to computers, and so would be to the ai
Voyager is still out there and relays signals, but those are simple signals as opposed to computer software
In-a-gadda-da-vida baby
I’ve seen gardening videos from around the world that are showing amazing results from various tips and tricks. They’re completely fake, and these people make a living conning people. All they need is views.
It’s so annoying. I fear it will become so common that many good creators will just give up.
They are stealing from you. Report them.
I would report them to TH-cam and srop worrying..
I was only annoyed for about half an hour. I’ve not got it in my dna. My only concern is that if the platform gets flooded with these channels, then some of talented creators will leave.
In usa I've heard some say they got themselves a patent on themselves. Just saying. Vloggers that is.
Hey! 😳 👍👍👍 ❤️❤️
am I missing something here.. nothing like your content
Unfortunately, the concepts of honesty and accountability are quickly disappearing from society. I know this as fact because I live in the USA and “we” just re-elected a liar and criminal for our next president. So very sad 🥺
Not true,we watch the Daily mail in the UK
I hear the frustration in your voice and I am sorry. I honestly don’t want to go to that site and give them my view. Less encouragement on my part the better. ✌🏻🫶🏻
No, you are not over-reacting. People run around bringing all kinds of stress and trouble into good peoples' lives. My hope is for you to return to inner peace, whatever path you take. Peace and love...👍😎🇨🇦🙏⚘️🪷💝
You are right, Marian. This is but a blip in my normal peace. I can’t even get angry about it. The only irritant is the knowledge that every video I make could turn up as AI content making some lazy, disingenuous grifter a lot of money.
I don’t know if viewers can make a specific “stolen video” report but YT should provide that option. I would do it if I knew how.
I can report the video, but it really doesn’t infringe stringent copyright law. It has been altered so that only the storyline remains. It is just lazy and disingenuous. I’ve been uploading for 8 years and podcasting for 9 years before that. Content creators are called creators because they create. I think it just devalues TH-cam.
