I really hope this is the beginning of the end of this...some of my music players have started using his cover art for some groups like BEYOOOOONDS, and it's so horrible to look at...
I reported the new channel.

^Very good, reported it as well!

 

I can't believe how he doesn't see the problem. He complains that 12 of his videos have been deleted, thinks three would have been enough. Basically...

 

MMG: "Up Front deleted some of my videos and my channel has been deactivated - now I can't access my other channels anymore!!"
YT: "If one of your channels gets deleted you might not be able to access the others anymore, that's our rules."
MMG: "But the person that deleted them doesn't even work for Up Front anymore!! And the channel wasn't deleted because of copyright infringement! sth sth monetarizing!" (Or was it? )

 

He can be glad that this is Up Front and not Sony or whoever. Those would have already sued thousands of euros out of him.

He never sees his problem, and will continue until the company is willing to sue him for piracy and illegal distribution of music. The fact that he created another account after his old account had been deleted reveals his true face.

I know he shouldn't get any publicity, but I just saw that some days ago he threw a tantrum on his Twitter (sorry, it's in German): https://twitter.com/...822822751985664
 
For those who want, I quickly translated it to English. I tried to cover his spelling grammar mistakes, but some will probably be from me. Nevertheless, it just confirms that he really is something else to deal with...

• First tweet deleted
• You let [should contain "delete", but is missing a word here] videos with this e-mail (e-mail address here) ["it" missing too] is not even obvious who this is. But we found out this is an e-mail address of a former employee of Up-Front. Who's not working there since 2019. Very questionaple [bad spelling translated]?
• Then about the people constantly complaining about us, despite us trying exactly to do what they about Up-Front think they do [don't ask me, doesn't make sense in German either]. But thought wrong. They only do half things, who certainly realized, the sound recording[s] from 1997-2012...
• ... are protected by copyright, but since Tsunku's leave from H!P, they were no longer protected by copyright! (YouTube). So everyone can use it arbitrarily, therefore the question do you think it is OK? And if you believe we would keep the money, you think wrong!
• We use it for purchasing the groups' merchandise. So the money flows back to the members! Only when you do these things [which??] you don't only harm us but also the groups. You know what happened at AVEX. Did you not ask yourselves why the members...
• leave H!P and Up-Front. You think, no you are made to believe, [seriously the next part of the sentence doesn't make any sense, I just translate it word by word as I have no idea] that what make want. Is this really the case? We could give you more infos that would shock you, but we don't! We plead you [to be] fair and no insults!
• Otherwise the person will be blocked! We are totally disappointed, all the people complaining commit copyright infringements themselves!

Honestly I don't even...
I guess unless Up-Front sues him here in Germany he'll never stop

[Juandalyn]

He's really way too deep in there. That's some manic thoughts. Basically "we're selling you the songs - that we don't own - so we can buy their merch so it goes back to the girls"... doesn't that mean you don't pay for the merch? You steal their stuff to sell it...

[shii5]

I saw briefly some of the merchandise that he was selling, even those are knockoff products though right? I didn't take a good look at all of his inventory, but seems like it was either ripped to CD and such? 

[Juandalyn]

Absolutely, and his calendars aren't official either.
