This week's episode of Family Guy included a clip from 1980s Nintendo video game Double Dribble showing a glitch to get a free 3-point goal. Fox obtained the clip from YouTube where it had been sitting since it was first uploaded in 2009. Shortly after, Fox told YouTube the game footage infringed its copyrights. YouTube took it down.

familyguyJust when you think you’ve seen every ridiculous example of a bogus DMCA-style takedown, another steps up to take the crown. This week’s abomination comes courtesy of Fox and it’s an absolute disaster.

In last Sunday’s episode of Family Guy titled “Run, Chris, Run“, Peter and Cleveland play the 1980s classic Nintendo video game Double Dribble. Peter doesn’t play fair though and exploits a glitch in the game that allows his player to shoot a three-point goal every time. The clip is available on YouTube.

Perhaps surprisingly the game glitch is absolutely genuine and was documented in a video that was uploaded to YouTube by a user called ‘sw1tched’ back in February 2009.

“This is an automatic shot my brothers and I found on the NES Double Dribble back in the 80’s when it was released. I know others know this also, but as long as you release at the right point it is automatic. The half court shot I took at the end goes in 80% of the time, but i didn’t want to keep recording….HAHA,” sw1tched wrote.

Interestingly the clip that was uploaded by sw1tched was the exact same clip that appeared in the Family Guy episode on Sunday. So, unless Fox managed to duplicate the gameplay precisely, Fox must’ve taken the clip from YouTube.

Whether Fox can do that and legally show the clip in an episode is a matter for the experts to argue but what followed next was patently absurd. Shortly after the Family Guy episode aired, Fox filed a complaint with YouTube and took down the Double Dribble video game clip on copyright grounds.

Faced with yet another example of a blatantly wrongful takedown, TorrentFreak spoke with Fight for the Future CTO Jeff Lyon. Coincidentally he’d just watched the episode in question.

“It’s most likely that this is just another example of YouTube’s Content ID system automatically taking down a video without regard to actual copyright ownership and fair use. As soon as FOX broadcast that Family Guy episode, their robots started taking down any footage that appeared to be reposted from the show — and in this case they took down the footage they stole from an independent creator,” Lyon says.

“The problem with an automated DMCA takedown system is that robots can never know the difference between fair use and copyright infringement. It is not hyperbolic to call this mass censorship,” he continues.

“Instead of copyright holders having to prove a video is infringing, their scanning software can take it down automatically, and then it falls on the creator to prove they had a right to post it. Creators are discouraged from filing counter-notices to stand up for their work, facing lost revenue and permanent bans from online platforms. This erodes fair use and free speech on the Internet.”

The entire situation is indeed bewildering and utterly ridiculous. The original Double Dribble game came out in 1987, some 12 years before the very first episode of Family Guy aired in 1999. The clip of the glitch was uploaded by sw1tched more than seven years ago. Then somehow Fox came along, copied it, put it into their TV show, claimed copyright on it, and then nuked the original clip from the Internet.

You couldn’t make it up. Nor would you want to.

haha yeah i saw that earlier, soo bad. google needs to get their act together, but that would only happen if another video service starts to compete

Izak MD · 05-20-2016, 10:37 PM

the real question is, why on earth did the idiot writers of family guy think that the segment would be even the slightest bit funny?

Izak MD · 05-20-2016, 10:39 PM

i mean i agree that it's corrupt and there's a lotta "i drink your milkshake" kinda shit afoot there, but man.... that really has to be the laziest, least funny thing i've seen in a long time from a cartoon

Shaun · 05-20-2016, 10:41 PM

that's what Family Guy has been since at least 2009

yeah seriously what a shitty article. oh so you noticed a correlation in a thing? MUST BE THOSE SHITTY MEN'S RIGHTS TROLLS, at it again to discredit women's taste in tv from their secret base in the arctic

Dungeon Snake · 05-21-2016, 03:09 PM

it sort of shows the sad state of affairs in women's tv though, look at this horseshit.

jersey shore, hannah montana, the kardashians, next top model... these are undeniably throwaway media for idiots. there's a few decent shows buried in there but suggesting that men don't like these shows because they're for women i think gives the shows too much credit and both genders not enough

Izak MD · 05-21-2016, 06:16 PM

the article basically proves that men and women both prefer shows about men doing interesting things, while women also like shows about women doing boring and/or retarded things

which strongly indicates that women are much more willing and docile consumers

BFFs of capitalist consumer culture!

As this chart shows pretty clearly, the more a show appeals to women rather than men, the more likely it is that a man will rate it a rating-killing one star.

a shocking finding!!

but looking at the less histrionic 538 article this is based on, there does seem to be something interesting going on here. there are definitely "throwaway media" shows targeted at men too (Duck Dynasty, Pimp My Ride, etc) but they don't seem to show this kind of split. but I'd guess the answer is more in the direction of "women share stereotypically male interests (even the boring and retarded ones) more often than men share stereotypically female interests" than "it's a devious conspiracy by MRAs." or maybe just that female-oriented shows are more consciously and explicitly targeted just at women, while male-oriented shows tend to make at least some level of effort to also attract female viewers

"why do you say that women are too emotional to be leaders"

- nobody is arguing this

"...while justifying men cat-calling women"
- male cat-calling has nothing to do with leadership. your argument is a non-sequitur. you might as well have argued:
Q: Why do men think that women are too emotional to be leaders?
A: Because starfish can regrow their limbs
