So gents, I knew the YouTube Thomas Club was retarded, but I never knew to what extent they were. That is, until today.
This morning, I was browsing NicoNico Douga (big Japanese video sharing site) and I stumbled upon a Thomas and Friends music video. I thought "Oh hey, this is pretty cool! I should show this to everybody!" So I got the MP4, uploaded it to YouTube, posted the original link back to Nico, and commented that while I didn't know the source of the music video, I thought it was great and wanted everybody to see it.
Minutes later, I get a comment letting me know that the video was actually made by a YouTube member named "TheTopHatts". I asked for the original link so I could verify it, but the poster informed me that it was on an account that was recently banned. So, I figured, if the music video maker didn't want me to post their material, they would PM me about it, I would agree to take it down, and that would be the end.
Oh, how wrong I was.
TheTopHatts: "You have upset me so badly. I was uploading this in 2 weeks, you are an idiot, you never asked me, you removed the credits, I made this, all my YouTube friends know that. You will be blocked by me, this has been flagged and YouTube will do something about it."
