Comment on 2 Fancy 2 Furious: Wine

  Hbomberguy posted a video going into sime egregious examples of plagiarism. In it, he shows how Internet Historian plagiarized an article for his Man in Cave video, sometimes literally word for word for long sections of the video, occasionally only changing words or just scrambling sentences. Neither the original author of the article, nor the medium were credited for their work. This is why Man in Cave suddenly disappeared, then went unlisted for a while, before returning but in a much worse state than before. It is a blatant form of plagiarism that verges on outright copyright infringement.

  I don’t blame you for not being on the up and up on this whole thing, Hbomber’s video just dropped today and it’s 4 hours long. This is me giving the context that the other guy didn’t give.

  I do hope IH addresses it.

    Some people really likes to make an elephant out of a fly.

      Here is a thread from 7 months ago where more people noticed the video was plagiarized due to a DMCA of a re-upload: reddit.com/…/internet_historians_man_in_cave_vide…

      But to actually answer your question, it takes time to prove (or even notice) when a work has been plagiarized, particularly when the person who did wrong does not mention, or intentionally hides the original source. The Hbomberguy video is about exploring in depth and the IH video is just one example, not the main topic.

      … at the time the company that held the IP dmca’d the video, and it takes a while to make a 4 hour video? What is your argument here really?

      And if copyright infringement like this doesn’t concern you, that’s fine it doesn’t have to. But there are certain rules that content creators are deemed to follow, lest they run into this exact criticism. You can scoff and scowl at that fact, but that won’t make that simple reality disappear.

      And for what it’s worth, lifting the entire article near verbatim in a video you then make money off of without so much as crediting it is, at best, shitty, and at worst a crime. Do with that what you will, but it certainly isn’t a fly.

        We are talking about 6 MONTHS. Also I can only hope that the dirt between Riley and IH has been sufficiently and satisified concluded for both of them. They owe us, the consumers including HBomberguy, nothing.

      My boss tells me this. He’s like why can’t you do 80 hours worth of work in one 8-hour day.

      I mean you’ve been doing this job for more than one day so why do I wait to do the work tomorrow?

      Women get this too. I have one woman do a 9-month for a baby when you could have nine women do one month each and have a baby!

        I mean yeah, Development doesn’t work by throwing money or resources at a Problem. But how does that relate to my questions?

  The other comment does cover an extremely recent look into IH plagiarism, though, I did remember reading about it on reddit forever ago.
