DRWHOremixer is stealing again

DRWHOremixer, who has been referenced here previously, has reactivated his account on YouTube and restored all of his stolen videos to prominence.

For those of you who weren’t here or don’t recall, DRWHOremixer steals themes from Whomix and YouTube and passes them off as his own work. If anyone comments on his videos pointing out this fact, their comments are swiftly deleted and the users who posted them are blocked. I and many of my friends are no longer able to post comments on his videos.

Once again, I implore you to take the time to dislike all of his videos, report them at the very least as Spam > Misleading Text, and if he has not yet blocked your account, leave a comment such as the one below:

Every mix posted under this account has been stolen from the Whomix website and DRWHOremixes is passing them off as his own. I am in the process of reporting all of his videos as well as his user account to YouTube. Please flag this video as Spam > Misleading Text and do not allow DRWHOremixes to get away with this.

If you have the time or inclination, I would even encourage you to create additional YouTube accounts with the express purpose of getting the word out and getting this information posted as visibly as possible.

The people whose works have been stolen have done nothing but have a passion for the Doctor Who theme and the courage to post their work in public. They do not deserve to have their work stolen and passed off as someone else’s, without credit or attribution. DRWHOremixer has sunk even lower by adding a notice that he does not claim copyright over the works he has stolen, attempting to free himself of any legal responsibility while still reaping praise and recognition from the works of others.

It’s not that hard to learn enough about music to mash together a Doctor Who theme. There is free, cheap, or even pirateable (though you didn’t hear that from me) software to let you realize your ideas. If you can’t figure out the notes, I’ll even send you a pre-made MIDI in whatever style you want. I will do work for you to help you make a Doctor Who theme. But for all that’s good and right in the world, go out and make something yourself. Don’t steal from others to satisfy your ego.
