    If you are that concerned I highly suggest you contact the cyber police, maybe they will be able to backtrace him.

    Surely his videos are against copyright?

    i.e. him using fifa for starters and secondly is there no rule on swearing or is saying bitch constantly perfectly allowed on YouTube?

    He's part of the youtube partner program so must get paid quite bit as he has a lot of views
    there's people using GTA, hitman , blah blah blah everything...
    not only that, theres people teaching how to get illegal copies of these games off the internet...

    The only thing youtube cares about is music i think....

    You sad bastard. He's extremely funny, either watch his vids or go and cry to the cyber police. Who cares how much he swears. And using fifa on youtube is hardly a deadly sin.

    Rules against swearing? No, that's stupid.

    And he's not breaching copyright, look up DMCA and fair use. In short, he's using the footage for the purposes of commentary and comedy, not profiting by feigning ownership over the content.

    oh kool but I don't get the "not profiting feigning ownership" part... mainly the word 'feigning'...
    Feighing = Faking.

    If an animal feigns it's dead, it's usually to make a predator think it would not be fresh meat.

    surely he is profiting due to the content being shown in this case Fifa...
    Yes he is, but he's not profiting at the expense of of EA, he's just using their content for this own original series. To use the music industry as an analogy, what's he's doing is basically a "cover song".

    Like I said, look up Youtube's fair use policy and DMCA.
