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. Bryan is promoting conspiracy theories about the newly-released COVID-19 vaccines.

    Bryan, nobody in the United States is fined or arrested for refusing vaccines but as a potential disease vector, you will be restricted from many activities (depending on the state). Nothing else you have said about the vaccine is remotely accurate, it is just baseless rambling on your part.

    “Christians, Activists, Whistle Blowers & Targeted Individuals

    You have a twelve month window to get out of the USA before permanent travel restrictions prevent you from forever leaving without a vaccination. Set up a second base of operations outside of North America. If you can get out then do so soon. The Bible says, “if they persecute you in one place then flee to another” and “to be wise as serpents and innocent as doves” (Matt. 10:13).

    First you will be ostracized. Then you will be isolated. Then you will be fined and eventually arrested, just like parents are being fined and arrested today who refuse to enroll their children into other vaccination programs for their children against other diseases.

    The Vaccine(s) will soon become mandatory within four years. Your children will be taken from you, along with your livelihood and liberty, and eventually you will lose everything as you will be considered a medical liability and a danger for the public to be around. Just wait for COVID-20, COVID-21, etc. It’s coming!

    Whatever you do don’t take the vaccine. Within twelve months you will not be allowed to engage in international travel without an immunity stamp in your passport verifying that you have been vaccinated. If you take the shot you will die a premature death just like the rest of the sheepish masses, and probably die forever:

    1. SCIENTISTS PREDICT COVID-19 RNA VACCINE A HUNDRED YEARS AGO

    2. COVID-19 VACCINE IS TARGETING THE CEREBRAL CORTEX AREA OF YOUR BRAIN RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CONSCIENCE OF MAN

    I have been warning targeted individuals, activists, whistle blowers and Christians, for over two years, that the day is quickly coming where you will no longer be able to cross state lines. There will be little to no warning when the borders close, because of so-called ‘medical necessity’.”

  2. I have been laughing at those two things, too.
    And that he is so lacking on social skills and smarts that he would rather lose another $$$ ticket than “play the game.” What an idiot.

  3. Bryan says someone is staring at him. Who is actually staring at him though? Nobody in that four second clip is looking at him.

    There are two women talking to each other as well as what appears to be a man and another person (a woman?) having a conversation. Nobody out of the four people in that clip are looking at him.

  4. Bryan is uploading more copyrighted material again.. This time a trailer for The Truman Show.

    He’s not too bright. I’ll laugh some more when his second channel gets deleted.

  5. Hoe dare the country of Sweden care for its own homeless citizens instead of catering to a fat fucking faker from the US.
    He’s homeless, he stayed at a shelter in San Diego and slept in a church yard in Old Town. There is nothing as useless as a snobby slob.

    • You got that right! The other TI I follow is always going off about filthy, infected, infested homeless people. She is homeless, sickly, and admits that she wets herself and occasionally craps her pants. Her reasoning behind why what she does is okay, is that she is a TI, and it’s the gang-stalking energy weapons that make her have incontinence, and the other homeless people, choose to be filthy and she would choose to be clean. She thinks Bryan is fake, btw. Because he has more subs.

  6. Bryan is whining about the other guests at his hostel. His complaints could very well be valid, but it’s hard to take anything he says seriously because all of the stuff he describes are things he himself has been guilty of perpetuating on others.

    Says that this place isn’t the sort of place you’d want children to be around in. This is coming from the guy who repeatedly exposes himself and fondles his junk on live streams and admits to obsessive compulsive masturbation and has a pornography habit that other hotel owners have called him out on.

    • Yeah, pot calling kettle black. Perhaps if Bryan didn’t use the floor as a hamper, trash can, bureau, and closet, the guy wouldn’t have anything to kick around. Bryan yells, complains, is up all hours and instead of video gaming, has religious sermons, music, and his live feed. They sound like a perfect match. His annoyance is probably based on the fact that Bryan doesn’t speak or understand their language, so can see people openly talking about him, because when you are weird, people will talk. And he can’t understand a thing. It’s rude, but oh well, so is Bryan.
      He’s got a video that his asylum attempt in Ecuador was denied, even though he told the lawyer working on the case to not do anything. Probably will change his travel plans, although he can’t seem to decide where daily.
      And I’m wondering about his claim he was harassed by a cop and injured. So far, I’ve seen no hospital visits or 911 calls to document his whining. Seems like no one cares in Sweden.
      And posting a bad review while you are still living there…? He’ll likely be kicked out soon. Again. When you have 20 odd years of travel and have been kicked out of hostels everywhere, YOU might be the problem. Occam’s Razor, used correctly, says that’s the problem.

    • It’s almost as though hostels exist as places for people who want to sleep with a roof over their heads but don’t want to pay extra for privacy.

      I know Bryan Tew inevitably gets what is effectively his own “private” room in a hostel due to being a nightmare guest that other people unfortunate enough to share a room with him quickly request to change rooms, but, generally, if you’re sleeping in a hostel, you’re going to have to cope with other people who also don’t have a lot of money.

  7. He was back live feeding this morning.
    Does he always sleep with his hand in his pants? It was kind of creepy. I couldn’t watch. I was afraid his hand would start moving.
    Despite his claims his inability to sleep is part mental illness (my depression shows up as insomnia, too), and part his weight and the weight of his chins on his throat while sleeping on his back. He looks like a prime candidate for a c-pap mask at night and a prescription of amitriptyline.

    • I just saw that. His hand was definitely moving. But the whole thing lasted like 10 seconds or so? I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt and say he was just rearranging things to be more comfortable.

  8. I think my top Bryan Tew video was the one from sometime in 2017, where he’s lying on the floor of that supermarket in Ecuador (was it an Oxxo? Do they have Oxxo in Ecuador?) because he wanted to make an ass of himself and most people wisely ignored him.

    Second would be the one when he was in St. Petersburg, also in 2017 if I remember correctly, and the police officers and or border agents were laughing at him.

    • Or maybe it was Peru?

      They have Oxxo (a Mexican convenience store chain, but I think some South American stores are supermarket-sized) in Peru and I distinctly remember “Oxxo” possibly being in the title or at least him mentioning it in the description and I don’t think Oxxo is a store chain that I’d just randomly think of considering that I don’t think I’ve ever been within 2000 miles of an Oxxo location.

  9. Good to see. All his “evidence” videos, which haven’t helped him with his claims anyway. He was warned. It’s good to see YouTube coming through with it’s TOS violations.
    I wish they were as strict with their policy against hate speech and harassment. In my case, the use of my name and all the slurs that come with it, including saying I am involved in human-trafficing and other crimes and the use of homophobic slurs, including titles of videos which contain them and not only is the account is still up, another account doing the same thing has been made.
