Bryan Tew’s main YouTube channel shut down for repeated copyright violations

So on Sunday 12/27, Bryan Tew’s YouTube channel with approximately 5K subscribers was shut down for good due to repeated infringement of copyrights.

Bryan has been known to upload clips from Hollywood movies, usually psychological thrillers, that supposedly explain some aspect of his life and what he perceives to be happening to him as a TI. He also listens to commercial music playing on a speaker while he is recording himself on YouTube live (serious YouTubers know that this is also a no-no).

In both cases, this earns him either a forced monetization of his infringing video (meaning YouTube will place ads on his video, with all the ad revenue going to the copyright holder), or a removal of the video and a copyright strike placed on his record. Too many strikes results in your channel being permanently deleted, along with all of your content.

I believe the last video Bryan uploaded was a re-upload of a video that “Ella Free” created about the “TI Day” event that happened earlier this year (2020) where a bunch of TIs made video testimonies about being a TI.

Bryan reuploaded this video with a title and description suggesting (with no evidence) that all of these TIs were “crisis actors” designed to discredit the TI movement.

The problem here (apart from being a ridiculous paranoid lunatic) is that Bryan has no rights to re-upload copyrighted content. There is such a concept known as “fair use” under copyright laws (in the US at least) where you can use a limited amount of copyrighted content if you turn it into a commentary or a news report or similar. However, simply reuploading a video and making an dumb claim about it in the description box isn’t sufficient to claim a fair use exception.

It appears that the re-upload of Ella’s video was the final straw that took down his account. This is not surprising to me considering that Bryan pretty much considers 90% of the TI movement, Ella included, to be government agents, and the people who are the target of Bryan’s unfounded claims dislike being labeled this way.

Ella flagged the video and this was the end of Bryan’s channel. He had one more chance to clean up his act w/r/t copyrights and failed with this video upload.

In usual fashion, Bryan is blaming the “shadow government” for his account shutdown. Since it happened right before his scheduled flight to Ecuador, he thinks it is no coincidence and that They(tm) are doing this to remove all of his “evidence” he needs to make an asylum claim.

Of course regular viewers will know that Bryan applied for asylum in Ecuador a couple of years ago and was subsequently rejected, so that’s kinda silly.

Being that I have a bit of interest in Bryan’s antics, I suspected that one day his videos would disappear for whatever reason. My feeling at the time was that Bryan would do something either homicidal and/or suicidal which would result in social media companies scrubbing his accounts as often is the case.

I have a pretty comprehensive archive of Bryan’s YouTube channel. It doesn’t have every single video he’s ever made but it has most of them. I began this by using video downloader tools manually every once in a while, but sometimes he uploaded a video and then deleted it before I had a chance to capture it.

If there is a particular video of Bryan you are interested in seeing again, let me know (help me narrow it down by date as there are literally thousands of videos).

Bryan, I’ll even let you have a copy of your videos. But it’s on one condition – you must agree to an interview with me by email where you answer my questions.

  1. Lawsuit updates:

    Bryan says he is having to file his lawsuit via US mail.

    I did a quick Google on this earlier and yeah, you can’t do the electronic filing of your initial documents through the court’s filing system (at least in federal courts). They want you to go to a court clerk first to make sure you paperwork is in order. If his papers are accepted (big if), he will still be on the hook for serving the lawsuit on the government of Spain, I’m sure he’ll manage to screw that up.

    Now he is email blasting a bunch of lawyers in China for help. He wants them to help him with filing for asylum in China and wants to “change the venue” of his lawsuit to Beijing, China (see attached).

    I laughed out loud at that – there’s no legal process for moving a lawsuit from an American court to a Chinese court. He would just have to drop the lawsuit in America and file something in a Chinese court. But it’s not clear at all that he would have any standing in China to file such a suit. It would probably be even less successful than the American version of his lawsuit.

    Bryan still doesn’t grasp that human rights just aren’t something the Chinese really care about. Not that Bryan’s human rights were even violated, but even if they were, the courts in China would never be a place for him to conceivably find any kind of relief.

    Notice how the law firm does not list anything remotely related to “human rights” in their list of subject matter expertise. This law firm deals solely in matters of international commerce occurring in China.

    • Isn’t the crux of Bryan’s lawsuit that he was not getting proper medical care in Spain?

      But he uploaded plenty of video evidence that undermines that claim. Just because he doesn’t like what doctors have to say and just because he flees the hospital any time he gets the faintest whiff of them ordering a psychological evaluation doesn’t mean he didn’t get medical care.

  2. Bryan made this awkward video to go with his pleas for help to all these law firms. Can’t wear a mask properly to save his life and keeps touching his face and mouth during the whole thing. Has the delusion that he can get some sort of huge payout from the US government. Says he can only work with the law firm on contingency basis (i.e. the lawyers only get paid if they win) which is going to be a huge NOPE for them.

    I’m not understanding how he thinks he can pivot from a FSIA case against Spain to this “America is microwaving me and I want a bazillion dollars in compensation”.

    Bryan, they probably won’t even give you the time of day!

  3. His hair is really graying. I’ve wondered about his use of hair dye.
    His rambling s in his videos will most definitely not help him. 50+ pages of his delusions will be prized and read around the office, and likely shared with other law firms, friends, and families. I know this because an application/resume I had, and had to interview. He knew his family, as members of the Church of Saturn (the planet, not the car) harassed him via computers. Cashiers had to hand key in upcs so “They” wouldn’t know what he was purchasing. I made my notes about the interview, gave it a “DEAR GOD, NO” as a personal observation, and sent it into the main office. And heard about it for months, by different people, in different stores. It was used as a case for you don’t have to interview every app you get, even though that was a job requirement.

    • Hand-keying UPC’s must be a nightmare if a customer is buying more than one or two items. I also don’t see the point if the computer is getting the exact same information as it would if the cashier just scans in the UPC with a laser. What extra information does he think the scanner gets with a laser compared to hand-punching the UPC in? Though I never tried hand-keying a UPC at a self-checkout, I believe it’s an option although not all self-checkouts accept cash (which is a problem I have myself since I prefer using cash for various non-Targeted Individual conspiracy theory-related reasons).

      I remember many videos with Targeted Individuals sperging about Saturn worshippers or the Saturn Cube (some with the gist that “Saturn = Satan”), though most of those videos either seem to have disappeared from Youtube or have been shadowbanned so they don’t show up in a Youtube search with the terms “gangstalking” and “saturn”.

      Here’s one of the three that show up if you search by date (if you don’t search by date, you get mainstream media videos on the Targeted Individual internet phenomenon as the top search results).

    • Sounds like that story that allegedly happened at Whole Foods where some crunchy granola shopper refused to have their food scanned because they didn’t want lasers contaminating their food with radiation.
