SEGA asking people to stop uploading full episodes of Sonic Boom to YouTube

Soon, a small handful of you may be getting messages from us on YouTube about your ability to upload and maintain certain Sonic Boom TV show content. Don’t panic! We’re not the kind of bullies that want to have your accounts damaged or your rings stolen just because you like the Sonic series.

In the short term, we’ll be sending some letters to people who have uploaded full episodes of Sonic Boom TV Show content, so that they can remove them without needing to worry about getting a copyright strike on their account. Users who don’t remove them on their own will have them taken down.

We think the stuff you guys do is awesome, and we thank you for your understanding and continued support. It’s also important to note that this applies specifically to the Sonic Boom TV show. If you guys have any other questions, please do let us know. Thanks very much!

Man, look at how wonderfully SEGA handled that. They don't want it happening, gave fair warning of a warning, and then said what's going to happen if people don't comply. It's not a cease and desist out of nowhere. It's not a cold corporate response. I can really appreciate how SEGA approached this issue.
