It seems as though Sega is the latest company that has begun targeting YouTubers with a range of copyright claims for content and soundtracks using Content ID. Interestingly, Sega US says that they do not deal with Content ID on YouTube anymore, so this could be a move by Sega Japan. Who knows? Anyway, it’s happening and its causing a number of core Sega fans to become frustrated. Hopefully it gets resolved soon for all those affected by this
Thanks, Mick
Lol nintendo news
Nintendo bought Sega along time ago.
…
¦)
;.; It’s really tough seeing what used to be your favorite gaming company fall this low.
WTF, why can’t they?
They made all this games with their sweats
I don’t know what’s the matter?
All youtubers do is give free promo to those worthless fucks.
Pretty much
They’re thirsty for cash and after all these years of Sega keeping their gameplay videos quiet, now they decide to do this shit AFTER downsizing their failure of a gaming company to produce cellphone shit. lol
Vendetta for people making fun out of Sonic Boom?
Sonic Boom WASN’T made by SEGA.
but profits from sold copies goes to sega since they are publishers and the holders of the rights for the Sonic IP
Their IP, their publishing power. They authorized that POS to be made to ignore what makes Sonic game a SONIC game and released it way before its time that got so much hate out of it.
Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric has become Sonic ’06 2.0. lol
No shit and I pity the idiots thinking that game is good. They deserve a good metal bat swung to their pathetically low IQ cranium.
Oh that reminds me! Apparently Hollow bought Sonic Boom for his Wii U. He made a post on the community talking about how he was disappointed with it. lol
Man he’s a fucking idiot for buying that shit ignoring the warnings about it. lol
nope people can’t just have a hobby that is free promotion
All i really watch from Sega is Sonic music. Sega usually has bad press because of modern sonic
OFF TOPIC I KNOWS
Haul your ass to gamestop.com if you want a U.S Toad amiibo, like now :]
Yo get online
aight set up the dang ass room I’ll join like in 2 min
Gorilemo?
Sega already make this shit with Shininf Force videos of Youtube. http://www.giantbomb.com/sega/3010-62/forums/sega-shining-force-copyright-strikes-569318/
Sega are a bunch of assholes
Let them die. The world already hates them due to their decade long fuck ups.
Yes and Nintendo is next
Nintendo phasing out of the market will mark the end of the industry. Sega is nothing more than a 2 year old moldy bread sitting behind the refrigerator all forgotten.
“mark the end of the industry”
I think you’re overestimating Nintendo’s importance in today’s times.
As you underestimated them in every turn. How did PlayStation came to be? Who inspired Sega to compete in the market in the first place? And why did Microsoft decided to take away Rare from Nintendo’s hands which ultimately was Rare’s decision to stay or go?
The market would’ve been dead 35 years ago if it wasn’t for them and yes if they drop out, the market will implode on itself out of fear because Nintendo is the only sole gaming company left on earth with the most excellence in quality and ideas among gaming. It sure as hell isn’t the greedy EA or the lying backstabbers of Ubisoft either. Where else is Sony gonna copycat from if Nintendo is gone? Obviously not from Microsoft since they already did and almost cost them so much from PS3 days and definitely not Sega after reviewing their LONG history of epic failures. Tell me, without Nintendo, where the fuck are they gonna get ideas and inspiration from since Nintendo was the only company on the planet the other two have learned much from and tried to walk their path (mostly Sony)?
Sega realized it still has fans, and has sought to remedy this right away.
Getting desperate now, aren’t you, Sega?
Remember, Sega of AMERICA are having problems moving, not Japan.
Taking their shitty game making out on Youtubers lol.
You know what just hit me? Does sega still have the same devs working for them?
If yes: They’ve all lost their minds. The same company that gave us snowboarding down san fran has been driven to such madness that they believed sonic boom would be a big hit. I blame microsoft for making them rush 06.
If no: its same reason why banjo and kazooie nuts and bolts never stood a chance- everyONE that made them good left.
Microsoft didn’t rush them with 06. Sega rushed themselves, to make the 15th Anniversary deadline…
Well that’s dumb. Nintendo I can understand, they make so much money. SEGA on the other hand could need the free promo.
Nintendo is sensitive about copyright and has been for years which for a company, it’s understandable to a degree. But Sega, whom they never had a problem with this issue before, now decides to target and blame fans out of desperation and vengeance for their own self-disgrace.
sega has gone to sewing their loyal fans in an attempt to collect money for all the severance packages they had to give their employees. :(
Well, Sega is about to die. Let it happen. I just hope Nintendo could decide to acquire Sonic and continue his series but actually innovate his games with timely resources like they’ve should’ve been done years ago. Sega can slowly die off of their own case of AIDS while humming the Titanic theme with a 8-bit equalizer farting sounds out of its ass.
More like Nintendo can buy Sega along with all of it’s properties… which would include Atlus. Two birds with one stone, am I right?
Maybe so. BUT that’s a good idea since now Sega+Atlus will cost a lot less thanks to Sega’s royal fuck ups over the years.
we all know which company is buying up companies and doing nothing with them right now and that company’s name is microsoft. I hope you are right and nintendo does acquire it though. it really would be perfect because nintendo likes to release sidescrolling budget games to fill out the gaming year, what better way to bring back the greatness of original sonic than with a nintendo made sonic sidescroller! I’ve always felt other than the sonic adventure series, that sonics best mainly as a sidescroller.
It’s not just having more games but Nintendo is perfect to revive Sonic again and they’re the ONLY company left on earth who knows and understands Sonic.
Maybe we will get that Mario and Sonic platformer crossover that many people have been asking for since Sega went 3rd Party, if Nintendo buy Sega. Also, Nintendo could revive many of Sega’s forgotten IPs…AFTER reviving F-Zero of course…
agreed. I think if anyone can save the sonic franchise it would be nintendo.
You are forgetting one other company: EA. They’ve bought a number of small development companies in the past & only use like 3 of them, I believe.
well if ea gets sonic then sonic will die a slow glitchy death.
soo they’re doing these to make a quick buck from their loses. lol
you could learn something from them, you always lose!
I find the state of Sega saddening. As a kid I loved Sega’s games. My favorites game on GBA (my first system) was the “Sega Smash Pack”. Those and Pokemon Leaf Green are what introduced me to gaming. Seeing one of the original game companies in such a state kinda breaks my heart. (Sorry for the cheesiness) http://segaretro.org/Sega_Smash_Pack
Good. They need the money.
Good? I rather want Sega to die already. They have lost their way 15 years ago after Dreamcast and now their overdue end has finally caught up to them.
And people are giving Nintendo shit for doing this. Least Nintendo is doing it in what they think is best for their IPs. Sega is doing it purely for the money.
Nintendo did this to protect their IPs and fairly share revenues with fans to avoid conflict (except for some whiny selfish twats who still want to lazily make money out of their games). Sega has purely gone dark and targeting their own fanbase for money. I would expect EA to do this but damn. Sega really deserves to die right now but I hope Nintendo can save Sonic and give him a new home and purpose with Ninty. Let Sega burn itself out.
If they don’t stop doing this, boycott Sega. Bottom line.
Same for Nintendo doing the same right now except it’s for overprotecting their IPs. Sega has just officially lost it and needs to die.
Why is everyone so mad at Sega? We don’t even know if they are at fault. http://board.sonicstadium.org/topic/19775-elicense-is-making-copyright-claims-on-sega-material/
They already did this a long time ago, with one game of their franchises…
For a different reason. Why would they do it now? Plus, no has actually disputed it so they wouldn’t know if it’s a bug or not.
It’s most likely not a bug if it started doing this after a long period of time.
This is why I’m glad that I no longer have a YouTube account (and never will again). I used to get SO sick of having to worry about copyright infringement in my videos. It caused my videos to have SO many limitations. I was STRESSED! When it comes to copyright infringement, I don’t think the rules should count with YouTube videos. Except maybe for the ones making money. The copyright infringement laws are SO f*****
Yes, its a damn shame we can’t just take property and work of others and benefit for it.
“B-but is Nintendo that piss off on youtubers, right, guys?”
They really are desperate for cash…SMH
Yup. Now they’re REALLY desperate for money to do this. lol
The Segans will drain the resources from the unfactuals and someday soon, our empire shall invade them once and for all for their insolence of making garbage games for our sacred machines…
Its gonna be a good thing when sega is finally done for.
This sucks. I really hate it when companies do such actions. Being a former VGM uploader, things like that happen so much on YouTube. Had to delete all my videos as a result. Well, guess what, Sega? No copyright law in the universe is going to stop me!
…
Get it?
Alright! Sega has finally figured out a way to revive their company! This will take care of all the financial mess they are dealing with. Sega will rise again for sure now! They’re laying the Sonic BOOM down on everyone! Look out, the Blue Blur is making a comeback!

Fuck it. Sega is dead before officially. In fact, there were dead years ago. Sega’s just a wandering zombie waiting to be put out of its hellish misery with a bullet in its head.
