Suede is a small, New Zealand, YouTuber of 20,000 subscribers who is best known for his series Pokemon Journeys, in which he reviews the pokemon anime starting from the first season of Kanto.

Unfortunately, you can no longer watch Suede.

Shopro, the owners of the Pokemon anime, have sued Suede in small claims court in Japan. They sent that information to YouTube and YouTube took down all of Suede's videos and will soon be deleting his channel.

Shopro bypassed the entire copyright claims system of YouTube and went straight to sueing an international YouTuber for violating the copyright system of a different country.

This can happen with any YouTuber who uses clips or content owned by any Japanese company.

Fair Use is a mess, but fixes can be made by making a fuss, a big fuss.

We cannot allow companies to bully creators and destroy their work.

shogakukan-shueisha productions co.ltd. has found a way to exploit japanese law and youtube's counterclaim system to eliminate creators who use their IP in any way shape or form, even if that way falls under what would be considered fair use in other countries please watch and share this video on all of your social media and in all of your anime related discord servers if you care about the future of Anime content on youtube
