See Hungrybear9562 actually believes in fair use. In fact he uses it himself.

Hungrybear9562 still doesn't get it
It seems that he is still having trouble understanding what fair use is. In fact a comment reply he left on the above video reads...
@sheri226 The rule is open to interpretation. I seek to get into court and fight this. I seek a court battle, I say bring it on Mother effer, lets fight, I love to fight!
Well he may love to fight, but hopefully he takes the time to consult with a lawyer who specializes in copyright law before he does it.

Keep the Internet Drama on the Internet
Let me respond to this video.
First, there are countless YouTube Partners out there who have been banned from former accounts. Although YouTube does have a policy that once you are either suspended or terminated you are not allowed to have another account, it is rarely enforced. I do know that some believe the rule only applies to Terminated accounts but when your account is suspended they send you an email informing you that you are prohibited from creating, accessing, or possessing any other YouTube account. Irregardless, it is a policy YouTube rarely enforces. I know of one partner who previously had lost 2 other partner accounts.
Now on to Social Security. It is true that he is collecting disability when he is not disabled. His only physical limitation is impaired hearing. For this he wears a hearing aid. However, I highly doubt that the motivation to report him to Social Security is to save the Federal Government the $500 bucks he gets each month. (He said in a prior video that he earned $500 but I don't remember which video) Rather I suspect the motivation is to simply screw with someone in real life.
Granted Corky has said on many occasions that he does not want to work, and that he looks down on those who perform low end jobs. Granted, Corky is able to refuse to work because he can live of disability. However, it is always wrong to screw with someone in real life.
Recently Corky posted a video announcing that he got a ticket in Northern California and decided that he wasn't going to pay the ticket. Rather he was going to spend it on getting his LSAT which is some kind of law certification or something. As a result his driver's license may be suspended soon or perhaps it already is. It is also possible that his insurance has expired.
When you consider the condition of the van, in Corky's own words, this could be a danger to the public.
However, since arriving in the LA area, he has not shown himself driving the van. Rather he is on foot all the time. For a time I speculated that the van was impounded, but recently he began filming from inside his van again. Of course previously he claimed that he traded it in for a MotorHome, yet another of his lies. However, I see no reason to conclude that the vehicle is on the road, and as such is no threat to others. Of course Corky will always be Corky and will continue to be a nusiance wherever he goes. (For example his destruction of a toilet by a dumpster, my money says he never cleaned that up) I also believe he is camping somewhere. Many of his videos start with him walking out of a wooded area.
Now should Corky be flagged off YouTube? Yes, if indeed he does violate the rules. For example when he made a video about someone who left a few comments on his videos, accusing her of killing children who were in her care, that certainly should be flagged as bullying. His doc dropping, his threats to others in comments and PMs can and should be reported. But keep the internet drama where it belongs. On the internet.
Now Corky, if you are reading this, congrats on finally getting into the account monetization program. Hopefully you can earn some extra money. Quit trying to threaten other people on the internet and finally make something out your channel. For crying out loud you went to Vidcon met a lot of big people and the first thing you do with your new exposure is upload two videos about what an asshole I am. You did the same thing when you got a shoutout from iJustine. In stead of running with the ball and promoting yourself, you upload videos accusing me of all sorts of BS. Move on with your life. I have.

My only word on Corky
This fight is over. There is nothing left to be said. I have moved on with my life, he has moved on with his. I understand that he intends to sue me, and that is fine. However, my only statement about his latest actions are the same as I stated in my last video about this.
That being said, I do thank MyRealityBytes for puting up this video. I encourage everyone to watch it and to subscribe
This is also another good video that I found today

Google Exposed Video Description
First I would like to invite YouTube and Google Staff Members who feel that this video is targeting them individually to read my personal letter to them HERE
For those who missed it, here is the first video I did on the subject of Google Plus
I would like to thank the following 3 YouTuber's for their help in making this video.
BIONICDANCE for her help in doing the lettering for the Thumbnail of the video and Title.
GRAPPLINGIGNORANCE for writing the script for "The Value of Pseudonymity"
PROPORTIONALRESPONSE for performing "The Value of Pseudonymity"
The first thing I mention in the video is THIS POST by Bradley Horowitz. I take three issues with him here. He fails to mention what steps are being taken to restore the many accounts that are being closed. Secondly, he fails to explain why Google is closing accounts for no other reason than the fact that these profiles wish to remain private (as stated in this STATEMENT from Google.) Finally, he claims that people are not being locked out of their Google accounts when their Google Plus profiles are shut down. A simple Google search can show you the difference.
For example
THIS issue is now resolved but he got locked out of his Google account and caused his YouTube channel to be suspended. This was over an error he made in entering in his birthday
THIS is a famous post that has been going around regarding Tom Monopoly. According to his TWITTER the issue has now been resolved as well but there are still others who are having this problem.
THIS is a third example I found
Doing a simple Google search for GOOGLE PLUS LOCKED OUT can yield even more search results if you so desire.
People such as myself have been trying to convince Google to allow the use of Pseudonyms so we can keep our online life separate from our real life. Many of us have jobs that we can lose if our online interactions is discovered, even more so if you are a whistle blower. Others, live in communities where their views are in the minority, or they live under a totalitarian government where their lives can be put in danger for speaking out.
Google itself states in it's YOUTUBE SAFETY CENTER that the first rule of staying safe online is to never reveal your real name.
Google in it's FAMILY SAFETY CENTER links THIS ARTICLE under their section Stopping them sharing too much personal information where the first thing it tells them is to be anonymous as possible.
In fact as recently as February, Alma Whitten, Director of Privacy, Product and Engineering of Google had this to say about the right to have pseudonyms and anonymity in this OFFICIAL GOOGLE BLOG POST
There is a reason for this, we don't want Internet trolls harassing us in real life, and we don't always want our families, co-workers, abusive ex, and our governments from knowing about our online postings.
So I figured the only way to demonstrate this is to use Google Plus the way Google has designed it. I will now detail as many YouTube channels as I can of Google and YouTube staff. One thing they don't want is for their personal youtube channels to become flooded with messages, they want us to use the help center. I say, let's use Google Plus the way they designed it.
Bradley Horowitz's YouTube channel is right HERE
Also Bradley Horowitz's Google Plus account is HERE
Now what I would like to know is why TALIN - gets to keep his google profile despite his real name being listed HERE
Brian Glick the person who brought us YouTube channels 2.0 as stated in the YOUTUBE BLOG has a GOOGLE PLUS ACCOUNT and he linked his YOUTUBE CHANNEL
It is unclear what Brian's role is, if any, in the New Cosmic Panda Layout
However according to THIS YOUTUBE BLOG POST the two people responsible are Noam Lovinsky and Alex Nicksay. Thanks to Google Plus, I was able to find NOAM LOVINSKY'S YOUTUBE CHANNEL so you can send your Cosmic Panda feeback to him.
Shenaz Zack works for YouTube HERE is her Google plus profile and this is here YOUTUBE CHANNEL
Olivia Ma's GOOGLE PLUS PAGE lists her as being the news manager. This is her YOUTUBE CHANNEL
Margaret Healy works in Partner Support and this is her GOOGLE PLUS PAGE
Now of course she is smarter than the others and does not link her youtube channel, however she has added some suspicious looking Google Profiles that in my opinion may be violating the Real Name policy that Google Plus has. Because many of the odd names link back to the YouTube community I will not be listing them here, as I do not want them to get their accounts suspended.
Ben Bayer is the next person I found and here is HIS GOOGLE PLUS and because of him I was able to discover Google employee ALICE C'S PROFILE who is an Engineering Recruiter for Google. May I ask why Alice C can keep her alias on Google Plus but others can not?
May I ask why so many Google and YouTube employees have added SARA MC to their circle. Even YouTube founders Chad and Steve have added this lady. Now of course I can not prove that this is indeed a YouTube or Google employee, I just find it odd that so many YouTube and Google employees know who this woman is, and she is allowed to keep her pseudonym while others have lost their accounts for doing the same thing.
The next name I discovered is THUNDER PARLEY and according to the LA TIMES that is now his legal name. When I first discovered his profile he embedded this video on his Google Plus
It does appear that he has since removed the post, thankfully I was able to spot it before he did and thus I was able to determine his YOUTUBE CHANNEL
Now I do have one question to Thunder, why is it that one of your videos looks very similar to a video by ESPN Sportscenter?
I wonder if Thunder has ever seen Youtube's Copyright school
DEEP NISHAR'S GOOGLE PLUS looks very suspicious. One, just like Sara MC, there is no indication that Deep works for Google but he does have several Google employees who have added him to their circle. In other words many Google Employees such as Eric Lange, and Bradley Horowitz have added him and know who he is.
FYI according to THIS ARTICLE His real name is Dipchand Nishar
The next person I found is Christian Oestlien where he talks about inviting businesses to apply for a pilot program for Google Plus as seen in THIS POST
This of course is his YOUTUBE CHANNEL
THE FORD MOTOR COMPANY was one of the few companies hand chosen by Google to have a Google Plus account. Companies were invited to submit their application HERE however, as of now that link no longer goes anywhere. Many companies are having their profiles suspended, while others such as Mashable were allowed to transition theirs into a personal account. More on that in a bit.
Skud is a former Google employee who lost her Google Plus Profile. If anyone should be able to get an account restored with a simple phone call it no doubt would be a former employee who most likely still has friends working on the inside. You can read about Skud's situation in her blog post HERE
I would also like to point out that Skud has opened up GOOGLE SPREADSHEET where she is asking people to fill out a survey if you have had your Google Plus accounts suspended. So far over 100 people have filled out the survey an you can find the preliminary results HERE
Now according to the TERMS OF SERVICE for Google Plus particularly section 13 we are allowed to use the name our family, friends and work associates know us by. However, Google has recently been demanding Photo ID to reinstate Google Plus accounts. This is of no use to those of us who use a nom de plume, a stage name, or online pseudonymn that we use for every other website that we are on. An online pseudonym is not anonamous. We have spent years buidling this online identity, it is how the online world knows us by.
In this GOOGLE BLOG we read about Eric Lange and Google Check out, if you ever had a problem with Google Checkout, you might try contacting him HERE
On a side note, it was very hard to find anyone who worked with Adsense, I do know that click bombing has been an issue. The only person I have found is SUSAN WOJCICKI but her profile lists her as working in Advertising. However, according to USA TODAY she does work with the Adsense. Perhaps frequenting her Google Profile from time to time to see who she ads to her circle might lead you to finding more people in Adsense.
Google posted this video on their YouTube channel
This is Matt Cutts and thanks to his GOOGLE PLUS we now know what his YOUTUBE CHANNEL is
This is VICTORIA GRAND'S Google Plus account
She is most famous for her lecture on how YouTube reviews flagged videos. She is smarter than to link her stuff on her Google Plus account but if you add her you might be able to talk to her if you have any questions and concerns about flagging.
Another question I want to ask is why are so many businesses having their accounts suspended, yet Pete Cashmore of Mashable claims he was contacted by Google and asked to transition his MASHABLE GOOGLE PLUS account into a personal one, you can see him claim this on his personal google plus profile HERE
It does seem like some businesses are getting treated better than others, all we are asking for is the rules to be applied fairly to everyone.
GARY ILLES Google Plus Profile has since changed during the time I was making my video. His profile name used to be ጋርይ ኢንተርኔትዝ and he is from Switzerland. My research indicates that Switzerland uses a Roman Alphabet, so if anyone knows what these characters are let me know.
FYI this is what his profile looked like before, and it still show up in the google cache as of now. Try it yourself
HERE
THE BEST FAKE PROFILES ON GOOGLE PLUS was published on the Huffington Post on July 13th (Arianna Huffinton briefly had her GOOGLE PLUS account suspended) Two weeks later some of these fake accounts are still up. They include
STEWIE GRIFFIN
BORAT
and DARTH VADER (Although not the same one linked in the article)
This Darth Vader has been posting porn on his Google Plus since July 21st and has a TWITTER and a FACEBOOK
Now let's get back to showing favoritism. Why is it that LADY GAGA can have a Google plus account using her stage name, but LADY ADA cannot? (Update she has since had her account restored but is now forced to list her real name as seen HERE Why is it that Charlie Sheen can have his stage name instead of Estivez but I can't. Please explain the rules and show that they are equally enforced for everyone.
FYI there are many accounts on Google Plus claiming to be Lady Gaga, I am citing GAWKER as my source to confirm the validity of the one I previously cited
Dear Google/YouTube Staff
I have been a long fan of YouTube and it's parent company Google. Even when they have done things I disagree with, such as forcing all YouTubers to create and link to a Google account. However, this is the first time that I have ever come out against individual staff members and I would like to explain why I did this.
As you know I was one of the first to participate in the YouTube help forums and due to my helpful and consistant service to the community I was elevated to the rank of Top Contributor. I was even officially thanked by YouTube in their Blog back in 2009.
Over the years I have not only provided free technical support for one of the richest corporations in the world to it's users, but I have also dedicated my channel to helping others via tutorials, and countless PM's I get on a daily basis. One of my video reviews for the new Youtube Editor made it to the YouTube Spotlight back in 2010.
Then a few months ago the YouTube Help channel subscribed to me.
So needless to say, I have done my part to help out this community. Google then launched Google + and I was one of the first people to get an invite. I got it from YouTube employee Margaret Healy. I replied with basically a thanks but no thanks. It was only when I found out that people could set up fake pages, that I decided to create a profile on Google Plus. I never made it public. Furthermore, anyone who attempted to add me into their circle was blocked.
My concern was I did not trust Google +, I didn't know much about it at the time and I was concerned that people who added me could track my online behavior. Single guy with internet, you figure it out.
My account was flagged by someone, and then my profile was suspended. There was no message sent to my email. No notification. I then discovered that other people were being suspended and being locked out of their Google accounts and everything tied to Google. I also found the announcement from Google that Effective July 31st, any profile that is set to private was going to be removed. You can read this announcement for yourself here
Therefore, I decided it would be in my best interest to attempt to sever my Google account from Google Plus. For those who wish to do the same you can do so by clicking here You want to make sure you do option 2, which is to downgrade your account.
It was after I made my first video on Google + that I began getting messages and even a few phone calls. You can see my first video here.
Of course the people who talked to me told me not to disclose their names so I won't but they did tell me where to start digging for some information. One of the things I was told is that Google is getting ready to ramp up their Google Checkout, and that is why they are wanting Google users to link to a real identity. Apparently PayPal is the next thing they plan on trying to take on. Of course because I can't name my sources I can't prove any of this. As a result I left it out of my video. Another thing I left out is Google sock accounts. Based on the information I was told Google employees are tracking the performance and monitoring the hangouts via sock accounts. This way they can interact without people knowing they are talking to Google employees. Seems logical but of course I can't prove it.
However, one thing I was able to prove is that some Google employees are not following the Terms of Service when it comes to disclosing real identities. Names such as Talin, Sara MC, and Alice C for example. Furthermore, if you go through the Google employees and who they have added to their circle you will find lots of them have added obvious fake names to their Circles. Instead of suspending them, they are adding them.
So I set out to demonstrate the need to separate our lives online, and our lives at work and at home and our neighborhood. I used Google Plus the way it was intended, to find the YouTube channels of several YouTube and Google employees. Previously, these people were anonamous. Now thanks to my video, their youtube channel will be filled with messages, and most likely several comments on their channel and videos.
I did what I had to do. I can not stress this enough, requiring people to use their real names will NOT keep the trolls out. Requiring our real identies to be linked to our online identies can be dangerous and life threatening if you live in a country where totalitarian government exists. It can be costly to your job and career if your online views are not popular.
To simply demand that those who do not wish to reveal their real names need not apply is to deny our voice to what can be one of the largest social networks in the world. There is no quicker way to get a message out than to use Google and it's products. Google Plus can be used in ways we can't even imagine yet, but if free speech is inhibited by fear of life, liberty, or livelyhood, then it is truly a sad day for the internet.
