Copyright Strike

Copyright strikes are warnings given to YouTubers for playing a song that is copyrighted or using copyrighted content.
A strike given to YouTubers for one of the three reasons:
- Stolen content
- Someone playing "ITS RAINING TACOS" and being an annoying little rat that you want to stomp its skull out
- Your channel being hacked and YouTube having no common sense

YouTuber: STOP TACO SONG IS PLAYING I'LL GET A COPYRIGHT STRIKE AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

copyright strike

When used as an Urban Dictionary slang, this term refers to how long a free movie is (still able to be) around on YouTube before it's eventually taken down due to a copyright strike.

You’d better watch the "Florida Project" movie on YouTube right now, man. Yeah, it's a 2017 drama movie starring my favorite actor, Caleb Landry Jones. But since the full movie is on YouTube, its "theatrical window" is usually short before the studio hits it with a copyright strike.

When the MPAA(Motion Picture Association of America) and RIAA(Recording Industry Association of America) decided that a free open internet was the thing of the past and coordinated with ISP providers: Comcast, Verizon, Cablevision, Time Warner Cable, AT&T and others to act as Big Brother on your internet downloads.

Arthur: I just illegally downloaded the new Batman movie from Torrents and it looks amazing.

Greg: Dude your ISP Cablevision is going to slow down your bandwidth or terminate your account if you keep that up.

Arthur: Why?

Greg: Haven't your hear of the Six Strikes Copyright Alert System that allows your internet provider to monitor your downloads?

Fleg

The word 'flag' as pronounced by people with thick Belfast accents. The term is a perfect encapsulation of the disproportionate and overblown reaction to the removal of the Union Jack (as in 'de fleg') from above City Hall in Belfast. Where previously it had flown for 365 days per year, it is now flown on 17 designated days of the year - in line with many other British cities.

The event caused a portion of the Protestant community ('fleggers') to make international pricks of themselves as they proceeded to wreck the fucking place, claiming it was another erosion of a 'British' identity they perceive to have been under attack since the horrifying spectre of equality reared its head in Northern Ireland.

The word 'fleg' - and indeed 'fleggers' - fittingly describes a section of humanity unconcerned with knowledge, reality or the vagaries of the English language. Like America's tea-baggers they are ruled by instinct, fear and paranoia with a side dish of rampant bigotry and startling ignorance of the world around them.

"Wat de fuck like! The taigs got de fleg took down! Let's wreck de fuckin place! No surrender!"

"De fleg has been took down! Before ye know it there'll be a united Ireland! Attack Short Strand! God Save The Queen!"
