Because of this, Nigahiga's lip synching videos were all removed (with the exception of You're Beautiful, which was audio swapped, and so were most of his videos that include copyrighted music, which was all of the videos Nigahiga posted before late July of 2007, and some videos posted after this. As of now, all the music that is being played in Nigahiga's videos is music Ryan composed himself.

Ryan and Sean used to have over 90 videos, but due to copyright incidents, their video number has dropped down to 62. None of the videos posted before "How to be Ninja" were put back on his channel. In Spring 2010, "How to be Ninja", "How to be Gangster" and "How to be Emo" were made public once more, but "How to be Nerd" and "How to be UFC Fighter" remain private.
