Hi. it's sad that the same thing happened to you 😑😑

here what happened:

I've made this post you mentioned, and then I've talked with @tohmura about this whole situation... He decided to appeal to Staff (because his post also was removed) and got an answer. They can review again removed post if you send them your name, phone number, adress... Like what the fuck? Why need such details like that?

But even before @tohmura received this message, I decided to do nothing. I've heard that if you appeal they may delete your blog then - they may check other posts you've created (and there may be posts that somehow are copyrighted by others). So I didn't wanted to tempt faith.

@tohmura send me a copyright note to put in the blog description - it could reduce the risk of getting copyright claimed again in the future. So I put it in my blog. That's all I can do. And I think you can put this note on yor blog too. - it won't harm.

you're right. so sad we can do literally nothing, because it's a lot of bureaucracy and proving you're not an Pirate - nobody have time for that.

Someone reported my gifset of Ryoyu celebrating his gold medal to the Tumblr Staff.

Allegedly, my crime was “Unauthorised broadcast - Olympic Winter Games Beijing 2022 Live sport event”. and the copyright holder is someone called Jonathan Friend.

Well, fuck you, Jonathan. I’ve paid for Eurosport so I could watch Olympic legally. And I’m makings gifs which promote a bit this event for free (while some people pay dozens of thousands on failed advertising campaign). I earn nothing of it, just fyi.
