So you turn it down when it gets loud... It took you more time to write the message and complain about it then it would have just a turn your volume down...

Since there were a lot of complaints regarding the volume of the videos (Sorry, they're recorded on my phone cause I'm not a big KZread factboy with actual equipment), here's the script for the solutions video. Oh, it’s you again. I suppose it’s time to reveal the answers once more. The Knights of the Eastern Calculus were a group a highly-skilled hackers in the late 1990s. While it’s true that many of them committed suicide, it was a lie that their membership could not be traced. A list of all the members was actually leaked, and they either committed suicide or were assassinated. After the viewer response to the Death Gun story last episode, I would be remiss not to try to fool you with another anime plot, so of course this story was adapted from the 1998 anime Serial Experiments Lain. Last time I was worried that you would already be familiar with Chip-Chan, and this time around the story I thought you were most likely to already have heard of was Mariana’s Web. It shows up in a lot of lists of internet mysteries and has been reported on by a number of respected news outlets and youtubers. Except last time I was hoping you hadn’t heard of Chip-Chan, and this time I was hoping you had heard of Mariana’s Web. While it is normally reported as fact and as an actual mystery, the entire thing is an obvious hoax that began with a single internet iceberg image. The entire thing is bullshit and technobabble, designed to prey on the fear and curiosity of people who don’t understand technology. VR.5 was a terrible show on Fox in 1992. It only aired 10 of the 13 recorded episodes before being canceled. However, the series was never released on DVD, probably because it was trash that nobody wanted. There were several writers for the show, but episode 11, “Send Me an Angel” did not have a mysterious bonus writer. The fake pseudonym Jason Kendy is in fact an anagram for Danny’s Joke, because aside from a few small changes to remove British slang, this entry was written entirely by Danny. There is a lot of speculation surrounding the death of Oh In-Hye. The official investigation seemed to lack a lot of the most basic elements of due diligence that one might expect, but the official story remains that her death was a suicide. I don’t think I believe that, but unfortunately this was a true story. Finally that leaves Yeah Yeah Beebiss I. Funco definitely seemed to be caught copying Play It Again’s advertisement based on both lists being incorrectly alphabetized in the same way. However, just because it worked as a copyright trap, doesn’t necessarily mean it was intended as one. I’m actually inclined to lean more towards this being an unreleased localization of Rai Rai Kyonshis, but it’s unlikely we’ll ever know for sure. Still, this very real mystery captivated game fans so much that an independent developer released Yeah Yeah Beebiss 2 for the Nintendo Switch. So how did you do? Were Danny and I able to pull one over on you Also fun fact: my dialogue is so deliberate and full of awkard pauses because in the first episode I covered my face which I have since committed to, which means I can't see and thus can't read a script. These first two episodes the videos were done in a single take, which was a lot to memorize, but I have since learned to edit different takes together so hopefully it won't sound is weird and stilted in the future

The easiest way to explain a copyright trap is via the concept of "paper towns", the copyright traps of the mapmaking world. Basically, you make up a town or street or some other detail that doesn't really exist and, if you see it in someone else's map, you have proof they ripped off your map instead of doing legit work and take them to court over it.

Fun fact: in regards to the last story involving copyright traps. Map makers used to include fake towns known as "paper towns" in very out of the way locations on the map to catch other map printing companies just blatantly making copies of their maps & selling them as their own. The practice even lead to someone trying to create a real world town out of one of these paper towns in the more rural parts of NY where one these paper towns existed on a map, but nothing but unused land existed in real life
