Hey, amych. I just sort of lurk in the shadows. :) And yeah, two of the three of us were contacted by our web hosts. Luckily, we'd anticipated this and had already pulled down our vids, screencaps, etc.
The count of three isn't a plan. It's Sesame Street.

This just makes me irrate, especially after the BS that guy spouted about how not letting him take your vids was keeping "thousands" of people from discovering the joys of Firefly.

Heh. I was boggled not only by his sense of entitlement, but by the tacit approval of his opinion by the rest of the board.

Yeah, I keep seeing "it's no big deal becaue they took from Mutant Enemy (or whoever) so we have the right to steal from other fans."
I wonder how these people feel if/when they see their stuff ripped off?
I can't believe the arrogance and stupidity of many many people.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I can't believe the arrogance and stupidity of many many people.
Not to mention the naked hypocrisy of "I can take it because it's public domain, but I'll contact your ISP if you piss me off because it's not public domain." Fuckers.

Not to mention the naked hypocrisy of "I can take it because it's public domain, but I'll contact your ISP if you piss me off because it's not public domain." Fuckers.
Word.
I'd almost say that's the craziest thing I've heard in a long time.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
What boggled me most in that kerfuffle is not the ignorance about the copyright and legal threats and so forth, because what that first fan who handed NF the CD did was at least understandable, if stupid. It was the sheer lack of basic courtesy coming from the guy who uploaded the vids onto his site. People who created the vid politely asked him to take them down, and he refused! The hell?
I'm saddened about the vid thievery and the necessity of vidders like sisabet feeling compelled to take their vids down. Sigh.

Bill, my friend, strange deeds are afoot at the Circle K.
I like the idea of the going-grey day, but I'm a little ooked out by the Wall of Shame thing for plagiarists up at the same site.

You know, I'd have said you were right if I hadn't heard this crazier thing. Which I may discuss in LJ later. I was laughing for hours on the phone last night about it.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Plagiarists should be exposed. Some of them are pretty sad emotional basketcases, notwithstanding.
