World Star HipHop STEALING Video Content. *Again*

I've had the same thing happen to me a couple of times. I've never had any success with getting the offending sites to take it down or embed mine. It's fucking bullshit. I really don't get why sites like these don't want to give credit to the original content creator. How does it benefit them, really? They're still getting the hits/ad sense impressions by embedding the video. Most people aren't going to flip to YT to watch a video on their favorite aggregator unless the site is just absolute shit. I really don't understand it.

Regardless, it's a great video. Here's what you should do:

Start a "war" with thugs over at WSHH! It would be brilliant. Tonight record an angry video, in character, being really angry at these guys for stealing your video. Potential comedy gold if done right.

Or...go the opposite direction. Talk about how freaking awesome it is to be featured there! Talk about your love of "true hip hop" (old school stuff like MC Hammer and Vanilla Ice)...get decked out in the most thugged up crap you can find. Change your direction and now try to find a hot sista that will be your internet girlfriend. Read some "messages" you've received from black girls since your video has been featured there, etc. Have fun with it!

Following this video, follow it up the next day (or as quickly as you can) with a new video featuring you and your new black friends. Just ask some black girls you know to come by and help you make the video. Have them crawling all over you, etc. It could be hilarious!

Then, seed the videos and even send a copies to the guys at WSHH (updating them on your progress). In the video promote the shit out of your channel. People will find you.

But you have to take advantage of this now! You won't be hot for very long (as we all know, YT fame can be very fleeting).

Dude, go for it. This doesn't have to be a loss!

Its just the nature of the game dude! You win some and you lose some.
I just fight fire with fire and get on with it, don't let it drag you down.

Lesson learned - watermark all your videos!
 
Yeah, I was told they hire people to scout youtube for videos that they can steal. They pretty much play on a bunch of Blackhat techniques to make their money, so I can't say I don't respect it since I do some myself. Watermark your vids, especially the ones with potential.
 
Meh. I just wish they embedded it or something. Aw well maybe next time.

Make a disqus account and comment on your video on world star and tell people its you and check out your channel. Also put your youtube in your disqus profile.
 
In Germany we would simply go to a Lawyer. That would be our move in this game. I dont know how you can handle it in the States..
 
Yeah! always watermark your video or add an intro.

Shit always happens over the internet.
 
Dude.... if anything they are helping you out. What you should do is change the name of your title to what they put it up as and continue getting traffic. The best thing you can do is ask WSHH to put embed your youtube link on the site so people can see where the video is from and subscribe to your page
 
happen to me plenty of times thats just how the game works as i see it, try contacting them or probably file a copyright claim or tell them to at least embed your video but its no use know knowing that that video is was their a while back its not in the front page no more
 
sorry if im double posting but it looks like not only has worldstar ripped your video but other youtubers did as well copyright claim is the way to go buddy

Unrelated but I love how hip hop is about "Stop Snitching" yet on WSHH site it states they work with law enforcement:

Thanks guys for all your comments. Still no email reply.
I genuinely would have being okay with it if they posted my youtube channel and embedded it. But no they completely stole it...
 
UPDATE

Not is all lost guys!!!
