RWJwithoutRWJ

RWJwithoutRWJ is a YouTube user that started uploading Ray William Johnson videos, without RWJ in them. With the help of two semi-popular YouTubers, his fan-base grew.

False DMCA's
The very first videos of RWJwithoutRWJ that were uploaded, were videos taken from Ray William Johnson's YouTube channel, but he excluded footage of RWJ and only showed the viral clips. He also muted the sound so you couldn't hear Ray's commentary over the videos. Days later, Ray William Johnson filed copyright claims over these videos. The controversy behind this was that Ray didn't own those viral clips in the first place, but Google and YouTube allowed him to claim ownership over these videos.

In another video, titled "Ray William Johnson blocked me!!!" was a video showing that Ray did block him and was asking others to promote his channel over on his comments board. Within that video, RWJwithoutRWJ showed a 2-3 second clip of Ray William Johnson and the next day the video was removed for copyright claims. The video clearly fell within fair use, so that was another false copyright claim.

On June 20, 2013, undertakerfreak1127 made a video titled "RayWilliamJohnson is Stealing More Than Just Videos..." explaining how Ray William Johnson stole the original owners of various viral clip owners copyrights to said clips by claiming copyright over RWJwithoutRWJ's videos.

On June 21, 2013, TheArchfiend made a similar video stating pretty much the same thing undertakerfreak1127 said. Ray William Johnson didn't own copyright to those videos to begin with, but he was able to file a DMCA against RWJwithoutRWJ.
