What Happened to the Creators HBomberGuy Exposed...One year ago HBomberGuy released his video titled "Plagiarism and You(Tube)" which would send shockwaves across the internet... Today, we look at what happened to the channels he exposed, one year later.Note: 8:28 I misspeak and say “more than 2 decades ago” instead of “over a decade ago”.
