"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Paging a Stompy -- post 9821 of this very thread is non-NAFDA-friendly. Take action as you see fit.

I suck.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Bragging is unseemly, Hec.

Bragging is "I lick." At least for me. My sucking technique sucks.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

First off, let me say that I'm all in favor of keeping any distribution of unaired EPs under the radar. You can't be too careful. However,

The DMCA creates stiff penalties for the circumvention of copyright protection systems.

What if the DVD isn't copy protected? The DVD copying software I have does not work if the DVD has copy protection. However, it works on that Variety "Once More With Feeling" DVD that I picked up a couple of years ago for way too much money on eBay. I wouldn't be surprised if the press DVDs for WF also lack copy protection.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Frankly, statutory research gets us nowhere at this point. If 20th wants to sue us they will, DMCA notwithstanding.

Yeah, after I posted I realized that. If it's not copy protected, the DMCA might not apply, but it's still a form of stealing (in Fox' view). Scripts and audio clips aren't copy protected either.

Trust my rage

Yeah - I agree. I saw some questions about what the DMCA covered and thought this might help.

I was a bit snippy. But legal at 20th doesn't care whether it falls under the statute or not-- they'll send a C&D if they feel their interests are being threatened, and they won't hesitate to file a complaint.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

True this. See Buffy Cross & Stake, which got slapped with a C&D due to images AND spoilers.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Maybe the C&D will be to get us to stop calling that poor woman about the DVDs.
