Earliest Mars Bar Video on YouTube: mb, uploaded by jaaney, January 26, 2006.

This was the only video jaaney posted to YouTube and for some reason they chose this one. Just two people trying a deep-fried Mars Bar.

Earliest M&Ms video on YouTube: Blue m&m’s, uploaded by mrquigley, November 8, 2005. (Contains Adult Content).

I’m only two videos in and I think I already have a contender for “the candy in this article that is used most creatively for its earliest YouTube video.” This is a main reason why I thought this article would be interesting, because you can never know what you’ll find when you’re searching for the earliest YouTube videos on certain topics.

As the description says, “X-men man thing likes his candy only to discover his mom is a pedophile..” If you thought this would be a respectful, sensitive video about pedophilia, you were wrong.

Earliest Reese’s Pieces video on YouTube: President Bush Seeks Advice — E.T., uploaded by BrendanBrendan, May 9, 2006.

I can’t make out what ET says in response to Bush’s question about illegal aliens.

This video is of someone ordering getting a giant Hershey’s cupcake with chocolate pieces sticking out. Looks like a mess.

Earliest Snickers video on YouTube: GRAB A SNICKERS, uploaded by Georgina Acebedo, November 24, 2005.

This seven-second video is about how you can put Snickers bars in between your boobs. There isn’t really anything in this video that isn’t given away in the thumbnail.

Earliest Milky Way video on YouTube: Why so blue Panda Bear?, uploaded by kinhova, April 7, 2006.

I’m surprised this article didn’t include any commercials until now.

Earliest Twix video on YouTube: rizzo doesn’t like twix, uploaded by sh8dbrady, December 8, 2005.

A video of kids fooling around with a Twix bar.

Earliest Maltesers video on YouTube: “malteser madness,” uploaded by ragdolls100, March 5, 2006.

This video captures “the Malteser game,” a game in which two players sit on opposite sides of a chair with a Malteser in the middle. The purpose is to blow it off the chair so it lands on your opponent’s side. It sounds fun but the game usually takes five seconds (at most) to finish.

Want to look up early YouTube videos yourself? You can do this by specifying your date range in the search bar. To find videos earlier than a specific date, use the format before:yyyy-mm-dd in the search bar. So if you want to look at videos from before February 18, 2006, you type “before:2006–02–18”. You can also search for videos from after a specific date using the format after:yyyy-mm-dd.

#Misconceptions #Film #Internet #Copyright #YouTube

How’s it going, everybody? Just wanted to let you know about this gentleman I came across online named David Hutter. He created his own independent Christian children’s movie called Strawinsky and the Mysterious House. It got some attention online, but it also resulted in him being on the receiving end of some popular misconceptions, so I thought I would clear them up because I felt sorry for him.

For instance, a lot of people thought the movie was made to discourage kids from reading books, but this is not true. Hutter has stated on his website that the movie was about the dangers of consuming secular media to the point where it replaces spiritual media. The misconception was reported on TVTropes, Awful Movies Wiki, and some IMDb reviews. If you have seen the film yourself, I would love to hear your comments on these claims and how they relate to the movie.

The other misleading piece of information is often referenced in YouTube comments sections, even if you sort by new. Basically, many folks still believe that a copyright claim Hutter placed on a YouTuber named SaberSpark happened because Hutter didn’t like the criticism. Actually, the reason Hutter reported the claim was because he believed SaberSpark’s video used too much footage from his movie to fall under fair use.

Now, you can debate whether it was fair use or not, but even if you disagree with Hutter, you have to remember that he is a self-taught director and that Strawinsky was his first movie, so he might not have had the same understanding of copyright law as industry professionals with traditional film education and experience.

He explained in an email exchange with SaberSpark that he doesn’t have enough of a problem with negative reviews to take them down, which is why he didn’t take down any other bad reviews. A couple years later, he added that he could have handled the situation better by being “a lot more gracious and patient,” and that he wasn’t sure about how YouTube and copyright strikes worked at the time. The only problem is that I was only able to find the email exchange through a Google search as it doesn’t appear to be accessible from the main page of his website.

SaberSpark ended up making a video that reported on the copyright strike and the eventual agreement between him and Hutter, but he failed to mention that Hutter doesn’t have anything against free speech or negative coverage. That’s why it is still widely and falsely accepted that Hutter was upset about SaberSpark’s comments as opposed to his use of the movie.

At one point in the email discussion, Hutter explains how he had to make this movie while working a full-time job, and that it took him over five years and cost £6,000. Considering all the effort he put towards the film, I don’t think he deserves these stories to show up whenever anybody searches his name. I am glad I am able to use Medium to inform people on what really went down.
