As you're all aware of by now, I went with the second option. So, I had a choice between leaving everything up and waiting for the axe to fall which would have left a bunch of subscribers with no idea about what happened, or I could wipe out everything and leave some way for my regular viewers to find out where they could go to get more episodes. With two copyright strikes on the channel already, the next one meant the shutdown of my channel, and with some group picking off videos randomly it was only a matter of time before the channel crashed and burned. (I'm imagining they're acting on behalf of some other vested interest who would prefer to remain unnamed, but who can really tell with these things.) That pretty much put a damper on the rest of my evening, as you can imagine. Instead, it was issued from some inscrutable Japanese broadcasting bureaucracy called A-PAB or the Association for the Promotion of Advanced Broadcasting Services.
And here's the kicker - the takedown wasn't issued by Nippon Animation. Material: polypropylene Product Size: width 7.3cm length 7cm height 9.4cm QTY: 1 pcs Assortment: None Assorted Friendly design of Chibi Maruko-chan. Fast forward to a few Wednesdays ago where I'm out visiting with friends when out of the blue I get an email telling me that Episode 57 has been taken down due to a copyright strike.
