As someone who has adored Top Gear and all related Clarkson, Hammond and May content since childhood your content is some of the very best and most enjoyable to binge on YouTube. It’s really no surprise that the BBC are being dickheads to you, they are one of the most hateful and moronic companies on the planet. Keep doing what your doing man everyone who watches your stuff greatly appreciates it 😁 Oh and the views will defo come! Bring on the Clarkson and May documentaries!

Copyright system is fucked beyond imagination. Its stuck in a bygone era. The bean counters of Corporates dont make it any better

Your content is clearly made with passions and enthusiasm towards everything top gear, the copyright system has been a joke on YouTube for too long now, but please keep fighting it! You will easily surpass them soon enough, don't let the bastards grind you down!

This is actually mad. I'm what you would classify a "leech", yet nothing has ever been taken down once I published it (yet!!).

I think Eric Bana would be pissed at the BBC for trying to claim his passion project was theirs.

I wouldn't call him a leech, he uploads TG content for people who don't like giving money to the BBC, but it is weird you get flagged when he (and really any TG content) doesn't.

Your uploaded video is highly detailed and had your own input. By no means should it have been charged.

Why are you calling people leeches? Would you prefer if topgear content remained easily inaccessible for most people

Wow. I hope you deal with real problems better than this. You might make the news some day over a missing piece cheese on your burger. But then again, destroying fast food joints over silly things brings in the views by the bucketful so maybe that's the way to go.

I don't understand why you are bringing up Van. They haven't uploaded in 3 years. At least there is a reason to constantly bring up Lee or Porter, considering Lee literally said he wants Hammond dead and said it was a joke, but also what he believes. And Porter, imo did unfairly discredit your video over one misunderstanding, not even a mistake.

I uploaded a scene from Series 7 onto a short, no problem I upload a heavily compressed part of the intro to series 1 and that got auto detected but thankfully it was just i think a no monetization warning which my channels aren't monetizable anyways so i dont care

Unfortunately That's how Youtube Mafia's Copyright Racketeering ring works.

the BBC combatting its viewership? I don't believe it ... lol Sorry you and your fantastic content is caught up in all this. but we know the real losers in the BBC's fights is us, the viewers. they killed top gear and top gear us then handicapped the grand tour. they refuse to supply the demand that has never yearned for top gear content and pull shit like this when anyone wants to talk about it. thanks for what you do. we greatly appreciate it

Still though - just checked my channel stats; I'm at 11.5m total video views, Van's at 23. Sooner or later, I'll be past that little waster once and for all. Just need one or two more "big" videos to really stem the tide. And believe me, they're coming.

Extremely ironic that leeches like Van Inhalin and similar "creators" can get tens, if not hundreds of millions of views without a single problem through not creating anything original and just reuploading clips of Top Gear in a verbatim form to how they aired (with YT compression to boot) but the second you put any work and research into anything, the BBC suddenly awaken from their coma and strike you down.
After losing the dispute they levied against my original upload of S14E01's review (because they tried to claim footage from Love The Beast that wasn't theirs), they then retaliated by striking the re-upload for footage that was previously not deemed a problem. It seems the pretense of "review" is working for the time being (because they ARE reviews, and the content is being critically assessed, I'm not trying to circumvent the rules that I believe I am 100% obeying) but it looks like the gloves may have to come off in the future to ensure these videos STAY up.
Bit of a shame we're still doing this over a TV programme that's now 23 years old.
