YouTubers’ first organizing attempt, the Internet Creators Guild, is shutting down

Posted on by Leave a comment

Despite the shutdown, the ICG’s concerns are even more apt years later. The guild says it remains concerned about networks and studios using illegitimate copyright claims to take down “huge amounts of content,” record labels allegedly taking 70 percent of every dollar spent on YouTube Premium subscriptions, and brands mandating that creators hide how much they’re paid for sponsorships, making it harder for everyone to be paid fairly. (The Verge reached out to YouTube for comment, but the company did not respond by publication time.) – Julia Alexander, The Verge » https://ift.tt/2JDVCnb

Police have reportedly been searching for Etika, whose real name is Daniel Desmond Amofah, ever since he went missing on Wednesday night.

YouTube Prankster Gets Jail Time After Giving Toothpaste-Filled Oreo to Homeless Man

Posted on by Leave a comment

Even though Ren was convicted of endangering the moral integrity of a homeless person, he most likely won’t have to spend time behind bars, since Spanish law typically allows first-time offenders’ non-violent crime sentences under two years to be terminated. On Friday, the Barcelona court also ordered his YouTube and other social media channels to be inactive for five years as a punishment for his horrible prank. – Genevieve Scarano, Geek.com » http://bit.ly/2wwnmEf
