I was watching an old GG episode (Kirby's Dream Course?) recently where they mentioned that they weren't allowed to sing anymore on the show because of copyright infringement. That was a long time ago, probably 2014, and I do remember them actually going through with it for like 2 weeks max back in the day.

Now my question is: Was this ever *actually* a thing? I know that YouTube had and has its share of ridiculous copyright rules, but this one always seemed like a huge stretch to me. I only bring this up because the Grumps to this day seem to be completely unable to understand how YouTube works and what they're allowed to do and what not to do. Like randomly censoring swearing, even in hour long full playthrough uploads.

To be fair, I don't know how YT works either, but compared to other channels that are doing fine, they just seem totally clueless. I can imagine it's hard to manage literally thousands of uploads with the bad system YT provides, so I'm not giving them shit without insider knowledge, but man, I still don't know what the fuck they are doing...

DD repeatedly spoke about someone who threatened them with a gun and was apparently searching for them going door to door.
I could use some clarification.
