Not to turn this into a piracy debate, but...

Of course he will have a stance such as that. He couldn't very well stand up and state the obvious and still have people walk away thinking he is a good guy. Pirates always have an excuse or a reason that they try to make sound logical. And while they do comply with every DMCA sent, that doesn't make it OK. Some smaller tubes are giving content owners admin tools to delete their content as they find it. Manwin doesn't.

Comparing his tubes full of content that shouldn't be there, with other tubes that have content that shouldn't be there, is not a valid argument. Both are in the wrong. And just because content has not been sent a DMCA doesn't mean it's allowed to be there. It means that the owners have not seen it yet or don't police their content.

Anyway, I don't want to get into this debate again, just wanted to reply to your post. Looking forward to seeing the video.
