Vegas Tunnels (COMPLETE VIDEO)

As some of you may know, Fox 5 Las Vegas illegally had our video removed for 'copyright infringement,' despite that we used only about fifteen seconds of their publicly broadcast news clip while giving a brief profile on the background of Robert Banghart, directer of the Shine a Light foundation. Not only did we leave their watermark on the video so you can OBVIOUSLY see that it was originally broadcast by FOX5 .. but beyond that, what we did does NOT constitute copyright infringement.

Section 107 of the Copyright Act of 1986 (17 U.S. Code § 107) states that fair use of copyrighted material "for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching (including multiple copies for classroom use), scholarship, or research, is not an infringement of copyright."

Now our YouTube channel has a strike, and things are looking downhill. I'm so bummed for a number of reasons. Not only because that video really represented, to me, an evolution of our craft - but also because I spent over $20,000 in paying for human voiceovers in Spanish, German, Brazilian Portugese, French and German, which wasn't cheap .. especially considering that the video is over an hour and forty minutes long. I was hoping to recoup those expenses with YouTube adrev but it's looking like a sinking investment, but I'm uploading it here if any real ones wanna support.

Best,

AC

it's now on my bucket list to check out that art gallery down there! would be sick if they'd let me paint something for em. real good vibes. great doc!

Benjamin Kohan

Because they hate the real voice of the people. Channel 5 is REAL NEWS, snowflakes!

Sahm Puccinelli

Robert is a really great segment to end this with. Such a great and well spoken guy who understands a lot about the hows and whys of the lifestyle coming from that in his past but doesn’t hold it over them like Ricci. Also very genuine and human because you can sense his frustrations with probably years of working with these people

Connor

restraining orders are to give evidence of a crime after the crime has taken place with no witnesses. if someone beats their partner and there are no witnesses its very hard to charge but if cops roll up when the perp is still within vicinity of the victim they can charge the perp with a violation of court order

W Travis

Why blur on partition??

Tim

Thank you Andrew for your contribution to society.

Moondog Lightnin

Will there ever be a part 4 to the Ocean City Nights video?

Hunter Bass

they know whats in for them after that help. Shit goes deep. Some people really do see the system for what it is and its hard to put on that mask again (construct it to begin with) and live in SoCiEtY

MySelf69

do it. youtube doesnt deserve those premium subscriptions, its a shit-show of massive-revenue-seeking. Kind of shit that makes pirating seem cool.

MySelf69

I love Andrew’s commentary so much, I wouldn’t watch a show he made without him (ex: AGNB), but I think in terms of fighting the force of large networks, I think it would be beneficial to have more faces to do this kind of journalism. You can’t be everywhere at once man, I trust that you’d know best who gets to share these messages with you.

Wow Robert is the truth. Doing everything he can for these moles and they still won’t accept help.

Fin Mason

Fox 5 out here convincin' me to support this even harder

Saw the interview about youtube, stopped watching on there and came here to sub. Likely getting rid of premium and blocking it on my network.

I made a Patreon account just to support your work. Fox 5 is just salty that their garbage work ended up in a piece of actual journalism. Thank you.

the concept of having memory loss and it helping with recovery is very interesting, I'm curious as to how that may be related to mushroom therapy or how the brain handles neurotoxins versus damage.

Hope you're in contact with a lawyer or YouTube representative. It's not impossible to get a strike removed, although I'm sure its a long process.

anyone have the link to the discord server?

bluedog music

Amazing documentary!!

Kizzurp

bro took an axe to the head and you have the audacity to imply he might have been acting, lol. I'd assume it was empty because they get their residents jobs and it appeared to be daylight outside.

Cody Malcolm

I'd have liked to have heard what some of the homeless people thought of Shine a light tbh, especially any of them that started the programme but didn't finish it. Robert (from SaL) came across incredibly well, he's either a truly amazing actor or he's real as fuck.

Grey Purity

Mama keeping it 55th

Stewart Harrington

Am I the only one who was confused why Shine a light was just empty? As someone who has been in a mental psychosis and went through the dark side of detox centers. Especially the thing of never having to spend, because you give all your money to their program while you’re in it. There’s just another side to some of these centers within the US

Anthony kemp

looks like it is, came here to see if anyone was mentioning it

Michael John

Andrew you bring back to discount code for your merch drop? Without it you'll be only be making 35 dollars from me but with it'd I'd buy the hoodie which means you'd be getting 75 bucks from me.

kristina bierman

I really love what Robert is doing, but man, abstinence only is not the way to go. It has been proven time and time again that it rarely works and has the highest level of relapse. I understand he wants to work with people who are ready to change...I just really hope he allows methadone, Suboxone/tec, vivitol, etc, in the program.

Peach

Man Fuck Um! Take it to court. Also I gotta support and joined the patreon, bc I fw what you do! Stay True Playa!

Servius

You're a fucking champion for that. I know how hard the fight is, never give up. I am always on the side of people who fight for themselves.

Joshua Lorrekovich

C alright is an inside joke brought to you br Crip Mac. King of 55th, and always there five the homeless.

Joshua Lorrekovich

If it is only used for a blip in the video, why not just edit out the copyrighted material and rerelease the episode?

J Lamprey

510 days sober here. It gets better. Even if life isn't great rn, it's better to be sober and going through it.

Big media at it again

Christopher Wells

This is such a great documentary.

Riles Kiley

Is everything gonna C alright better than B alright?

Daniel Major

I think I had seen three specials on this previously, so to be honest I wasnt very hype for this one from C5. But wow, was I wrong. Like almost every other thing they've put out, this was totally outstanding. Great questions asked, great camera work, some real passion and effort felt behind it all. Wonderful job boys. YouTube is really harming themselves too with this behavior. They better be careful cause its a slippery slope to authoritarianism. 13:15 got a pink floyd vibe!

Chairman Meow

I second this. I'll buy you a deep dish at Pequods.

Chairman Meow

We're out here for you man. Fuck those fox boys.

Harry Cox

Holy shit this is next level work. Joined for the border crisis video and plan on supporting for a while

Dave O

The fella from Shine A Light was such an impressive and eloquent symbol of who these tunnel people can be. Talk about having all your facilities and being dialed in and having the pulse of the issue engrained in you, he is a beast and gives me hope that the homeless in LV are not hopeless. Just like me and so many others that arent as unfortunate though, we all have blockades and built in excuses for not doing more for ourselves, for not escaping our mental blockades. We can all achieve much more if we give in and accept help. God bless

Hazel Hallas

god bless channel 5 keep up the good work

Jennifer Bakhos

ur louis comparison gets ever more apparent with each uploads. Youve even nailed the masterful transition of making funny eye opening docs to ones that do real work, real journalism. You should be proud andrew. Don't let this tear u down

Stephen Anderson

Subbed because this was taken down. Hope you end up better than ever because of this.

Chris Michaels

Hey man, love your stuff from YouTube, recently joined your Patreon. I hope you keep this up, it's really fascinating watching how well you interact with people and get these interviews. Not sure if you'll see this but would you ever consider doing one like this on the homeless and crime situation here in Anchorage Alaska? It's been getting real worse over the years, tent cities popping up all over town and really becomes a problem for the community in the winter. It would be interesting to hear their side of everything without the black and white from local media.

William Seccareccia

And my axe

Rosie Ruzicka

i support you 100%, I think your content is literally the best journalism I have ever seen probably and have been watching for years but taking this moment to start contributing financially here. please dont be bummed about the strike as Fox5 gets flamed into oblivion for what they did- I will be sending them a letter and leaving comments on all their channels.

Just subbed in response to the Vegas Tunnels video takedown. Fuck that. I've never subbed to a Patreon before but if there was any creator worth subbing to, its you guys. Thanks for everything that you do. The humor in your videos is fucking perfect and the fact that you're using this super power to help others is inspiring. <3

charlie

Just finish this and goddamn, so sad this got taken off YouTube. I had to support, this content is amazing!

firebat123

It's really shitty that fox did this to you. I'm really enjoying being a patron and all of the content you are putting out here. I hope this incident doesn't deter you from continuing to make great content for YouTube as I would love to be able to share with people who aren't on your Patreon. I was just telling my mom (who is on the opposite end of the political spectrum) about your Vegas series and it started a conversation about homelessness and about a young man in her town that she had just recently tried to help. She was trying to help fund him getting to any family member that would help him. It turned out he didn't have any family, and that he refused help from aid organizations. I related the similar story from the Vegas tunnel series and we both cried a little about the incredible sad circumstances of people. We talked about how we both had soft spots in our heart for these people. It brought us closer together, when typically news recently has created tension between us. Keep doing what you are doing. I really appreciate how you are seeking to find common ground with people you don't agree with.

Josh LeMasters

FOIAs only work for federal agencies. Nevada's got an open records act, but I'm guessing it doesn't have the teeth FOIA has

Amo

My wife and I just finished watching...both were homeless in Durham NC and thanks to some help and support were able to get out. I cannot support what this video speaks on enough. From the rules of the homeless society to the individuals personalities, the freedoms and the traps, all shown exactly the way I experienced it. Just incredible...Boxer said it best though. The best anyone can give is a smile and a handshake. You lose your humanity and that has nothing to do with the drug's. That's has to do with society. And that programs approach to an attempted solution should be THE model for any and every program moving forward. Well made sir. Well made!

Brandon Brown

This hits hard and true. Thanks for doing a doc well and not just giving people more footage to gawk at. I hope you fight the YouTube strike because this doc could do a lot of good.

Channel 5 vs Fox 5 Hope you get your day in court, or ideally they will realize they have a BS defense and simply remove the copyright strike.

DW

Remember when all the different local news companies were saying the exact same phrases like “safe & effective” and shit like that? Youtube supercut edits of them all reading from the exact same script in different local broadcasters about covid, J6, trump, ect.

Phil Larkin

I must ask why the section showing animal fighting superman was censored?

Mallory Taylor

Literally got cut off 1/2 way through watching this on YouTube and was super confused. Then I saw the explanation for why it happened and now I've downloaded Patreon for the first time and subbed to Channel 5. After watching the YouTube update, I feel compelled to share that this documentary doesn't dissuade me from wanting to visit Vegas. Actually, it's the opposite; like so many of Channel 5's videos, this doc humanizes people that have been ostracized for (in many cases) simply having a streak of bad luck that's compounded by processes and/or systems that punish that bad luck. Living without a financial safety net isn't a crime. Unfortunately, the YouTube strike against this video implies it should be. Vegas' laws - as mentioned in this documentary - all-but-literally say it is. Fingers crossed you get some proper help from YouTube support asap but, more importantly, I hope I'm not the only one inspired to support the channel through other means so you guys can keep up the kind of quality reporting that's virtually nonexistent anywhere else online right now. Love and hugs.

Oobabakakajo

That take down notice might've been the best thing for you, I've finally subbed here :)

Arzonaut

Them DMCAing Channel 5 inspired me to become a Patron. Take them for everything they're worth.

Ty McCracken

Thank you so much for sharing this video, Andrew & team! I went through Andrew's own disappointment journey realizing that it's not really just an ID that's a bridge people need. It's also sad that the Shine A Light director can't recognize that sobriety is the roadblock to helping those people, but we can only help in the ways we know how - and that org is doing so much good!

I subbed to the patreon yesterday because I loved the journalism that you were doing. But seeing how dirty you were done by the YouTube copyright system and big journo reinforces my subscription. I hope more people sub to your patreon so that you can recoup your losses and have at least some fighting power in court.

Subbed after the news. Big ups homie!

That was awhile ago and at this point as far as I'm aware that money was spent on their own major legal battle. I believe they didn't think it would cost as much as it did and they weren't able to save any leftovers.

Heartbleed

Make sure to get in touch with H3H3, Ethan and Hilla set up some sort of funding program for creators who have been put in this exact situation. Keep up the good work, proud of you <3

Nicholas Senilov

at times like these, i'm honored to be a channel 5 patron

nope not

Im not surprised. Do not trust youtube to be the host of your journalism. Put your work up in multiple places across the web. Push comes to shove, who do you think a massive corporation will side with? independant journalism, or status-quo preserving journalism? Those with the most power to change things have the most insentive to keep things just as they are.. tossed 7.50 at you. A meal if nothing else Keep it up. Try not to Die.

Mrein

Sorry to hear bro. I was just gonna set back after loong day and see the rest of the vegas video but sadly could not find it in yt. Supporting you guys in here was long time in my mind but this stuff made me finally do it. Maaaaddd love and respect for your work. Keep it up and cheers from Finland

I've dealt with false DMCA takedowns on my channel before. Have you all exhausted all of the reasonable non-legal means of getting this strike removed? There's a chance the clip was autodetected by YT's software and their legal team issued a strike without vetting if it was fair use or not. Reaching out to the responsible party has resolved most of my strikes in the past. Hope you all can get the strike removed <3

Sam Hatch

thats ridiculous. saw it get taken down in real time as i was leaving a comment. your work is great bro keep it up

guest.raptor

Dude please connect with more experienced/professional youtubers to help you sort stuff like this out - there are strategies for how to dea{ with things like this and you are a big boy know, time to learn

Yanick J. Steinbeck

That’s weak af! Fuck Fox. We appreciate all your hard work.

If you are stressed over $5, you really shouldn't be subbing to any patreons. All of the other videos you had access to, and you can now watch this full video of what you are looking for, so services have been rendered. Filing a chargeback would be in bad faith.

Fuck Fox News

Safe

imagine being a cuck over 5 bucks

Vince

Good point, but I think he can still monetize once the strike gets reversed? Main issue is that it takes forever to get movement. He'd want to re-upload at that point too so... Yeah. Might be too much of a pain in the ass. Sorry Andrew!

Erik Peterson

Mr. Magoo

At that point the adrev is dead, proven by many channels that a strike pretty much kills the video.

JJ HoriYuko

Just subbed here because of this. You and your team are doing incredible work. Love u x

George Howell

There has to be some other options

Nicholas Zimmerman

I'm not sure he can monetize there but I could be wrong

Ian Karanja

fuck fox man. gonna buy some merch to help out. maybe try posting it on X!

Thomas

Post it to X?

Nicholas Zimmerman

Perhaps Ethan Klein's lawyer can assist with the claim?

Gavin

I definitely recommend submitting a counter. They have to review it again, and if they think it's still a valid claim, you can submit the counter again at which point they would have to take legal action, something I doubt they would actually follow through with.

Erik Peterson

Just subscribed to your patreon to help Youre amazing keep it going

Cristina Gauthier

It really is a great video and I appreciate you intentionally helping the folks as well as raising awareness. Keep it up!

Josh

Of course it's Fox, they would rather hype up "mole people" themselves. Scumbags lol

skellymoe yo

Truly Un-American what happened to the YouTube upload. I bet that newsroom is struggling and with all of the backlash that's coming that dinky lil station is fucked.

Payton Santillanes

fuck fox so much man. so indicative of modern media that things like this get intentionally covered up and erased.

Wet Meat

Fuck Fox and fuck YouTube they don't validate anything and just strike first, ask questions never. Y'all gotta find a way to get this back out there maybe if it means removing the external footage, the stories you guys captured is too important

Wylcey Keep

Fight the claim!!! things will look up. CHANNEL 5 NEVER DIES

Mr. Beef

Is it cuz you're both channel 5?

Benjamin Rowell

The fucking GOAT

James Moore

fuck man...im so sorry. am [also working on building a new platform as my dayjob rn- we need something better]

Todd Troxell

This is so messed up!! Consider getting a lawyer or at least reaching out to YouTube directly… you can definitely get that copyright strike removed and hopefully get the video back up 🤞

Nicos Ledakis

Keep going Andrew!

Long Huynh

I subscribed to patron bc of that video 😁

Riley Allen

Some youtubers have lots of success fighting these kinds of claims. Consider reaching out to YMS! He's a fan of yours and has been through the ringer a few times on this issue and loves helping people fight it.

Nathan MacDonald

So insane for them to do that, especially when there was zero negativity towards their clips. Adding on to others’ sentiment, I hope this gets you tons of new Patrons!!

Gretchen Hoff

fuck fox

Hayley van Eykeren

Man I hope this brings a load of new people over here. Because long-term it would be great if you were 100% crowd funded. Maybe not now, but you know YouTube is gonna pull some shit eventually anyway, right? May as well begin the shift.

Jimmy

YouTube really cant get their shit together somehow. The movie is really great, hope you can get it back up since I feel like lots of people would learn alot from it

Alexander Abbas

Waaaaack. Hope you get that shit removed.

GhostxxTurd

Dang, I got the watch in before they took it down. YT be really strict about and quick to take down based on any accusation, wether or not it's warranted and super lax about fixing the claims they take down without cause

Shane Webster

I'm so hot for you rn

S M

Props for removing the accountability comment

André

Incredible work, dude. With all the bullshit sensationalism from all media outlets, your guys' pieces give me a lot of hope for journalism and actually using a platform to make differences in people's lives. Also fuck fox 5, hater ass foos.

Daniel

As a nurse who works with the Vegas homeless population every day, I thank you for your hard work to expose this. Our homeless community deserves better. The way this city treats them is devoid of all humanity.

Bee Parker

Thank you for making this. Excellent video.

Zal

FUCK THEM FOR TAKING THIS DOWN. THIS VIDEO HELPED ME SO MUCH AND IT HAS ME RAGING THEY GOT YOU ON COPYWRITE BULLSHIT. STAY STRONG YALL, THIS IS YOUR BEST CONTENT YET!! MUCH LOVE, KEEP IT AS REAL AS YOU ARE!!!!!

Garrett Cady

Yall hooked them up with Marcos pizza that’s the goat

Azzle Toof Toph

Youre a G, Andrew. Just keep swimming. Hopefully we can collaborate on a kelp restoration piece in the future.

Price

I may have came here just to finish (was ~20min in on YT), but I subscribed because you're a journalist that deserves it and have watched since All Gas, so well worth it! Keep it up!

Joel Winfrey

Its outrageous whem this happens because obviously it costs you revenue. But in this case you should at least win an appeal

Ben Loud

Just became a Patron because of your post on instagram. I’m happy to be here and excited to watch this!

Karla Andrade

Can you reupload with that part redacted? Super wack dude, I’m sorry you’re dealing with this BS

wokeface

Damn :(

Tronkilonk

Fox 5 are a bunch of custers

Austin

hopefully its resolved this whole homeless/addiction series has been incredible and needs to be viewed by all voting age americans

rich pin

Excited to see the Kia Boyz piece. Keep up the good work. Strikes are part of the game, don’t let it get you too down. You’ve been way worse off in the past, keep moving forward.

Rory

Fuck fox news

Kaylee Rose

Can't agree more with others, they're afraid of what a real reporter can do. Keep it up boys and don't let this discourage you from evolving your content, I like the direction it's going. We need more awareness on how to actually make a change, cameras off.

James I got Covid toes but I'm still a cute kid with a good piece Ruddick

fox news some bastards man, hope you get whoever needs to get involved to set that shit straight

[loud shitposting]

Fox ENTERTAINMENT is a fascist right wing propaganda organization.

demlet

FOX is just mad that Andrew is a real reporter and not just broadcasting fake bullshit like they do.

Chris Novak

Can you not dispute the strike? Speak with VGL

Hardstuck Jett 3

They’re afraid of you bro. Keep doing what you’re doing

Luke McManagan
