Pakistan government is in the news again for all the wrong reasons. Official YouTube channel of Pakistan government has been suspended after a user claimed copyrights for one of the videos that the channel uploaded.
The Content that was Reported
Pakistan government’s YouTube channel used a clip from one of the vlogs of Irfan Junejo in their “Family friendly activities in Pakistan video”. Irfan is pretty famous among Pakistani audience for his travel videos and the clip that government’s channel used was from one of his videos of Naran.

Upon watching the video, Irfan noticed that it was from his content. He sent out a tweet mentioning government’s twitter handle and saying that it is not good to use someone’s work without their permission. Here is his tweet.

Irfan says that government didn’t ask for his permission before using his video. It is the same reason why he reported Pakistani government’s YouTube channel;

The video in question got 400 views before it was taken down.
Focal Person Social Media Cell Government of Pakistan Zaigham Abbas says that credits were mentioned in the video.
We gave him video credits in the description of the video and we are promoting the work of local photographers and videographers.
However, Irfan says that giving credits doesn’t mean anyone can use others’ content without their permission. Irfan says that he would have made a better video for the government, had they asked him before using his content. He further said that;
Irfan Junejo has over 80,000 subscribers on YouTube and his videos get 50,000 views on average.
And… ProPakistani theme also broke.
This is where “me” comes before Pakistan, Irfan could have wrote to Govt. of Pakistan before reporting and embarrassing the government which represents Pakistan globally.
We still equate government of Pakistan = that person who heads the government, PM = Person who chairs the position.
His so called copyrights are more valuable than image of Pakistan.
Ohh, he just win from Govt. for the first time in his life, and that because of Internet is not property of any Govt. that’s why he said “Ab thand hai!”
I guess, he does not care about credits or permission, just want to shows the Anger every Pakistani has in heart, for Govt.

Oye Kaafir, tum phir aa gaye khanzeer
Just shut up. This is an is isolated case and you say that every pakistani is angry with the government. You are free to go to Endia if you hate Pakistan government. Get out of our beloved land.
What nonsense. It is our Pakistan not Govt’s Pakistan they should go to endia not us. Fazool logic.
I said Govt. you idiot, not the Pakistan Land!
Idiot covering up your stinking face.
its better to keep your mouth shut, when you don’t know, what you’re talking about. non sense.
We are Pakistani and should support Govt instead of creating problems. Pakistan means to us. Govt person’s changes every 5 years.
When government doesn’t abide by its own law then what message govt is sending to the masses?
Good example set by the govt can force the ppl to act on the law and support.
In content you used word “famous” then why you used “local” in title ?
Excellent! The government should act more responsibly.
I am a layman and this line made me wonder how much on average will he be earning through Youtube monetization for 50K views? ek view k kitne paise milte hain?
“Irfan Junejo has over 80,000 subscribers on YouTube and his videos get 50,000 views on average.”
He has done this to get into news and get more hits on his channel.
