They win again. They cancel a great show. It is a hit but they don't get it. Becomes cult status. Becomes BDM. They go after the little people making t-shirts and posters before the BDM. Now they force you tube to remove all firefly videos which were cool. Whats with these dudes. You won't remake the show. Cancel it. Then stomp on anyone who wants to have a little piece of it. I just don't get the studios. On another note just got my 007 dvd awesome today. Also got my 1st season of Alias Smith and Jones reminds me of Mal and Zoe.

Their own stupidity.

May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one.

Well it looks as if Fox is not the only one going after YouTube/Google. MSN reported yesterday that Viacom is suing YouTube/Google for $1 billion.

I expect that we will see YouTube cleaning up the site over the next few weeks getting rid of anything that could land them in hot water. If there is anything on YouTube you want you best download it now.

How does one go about actually saving a video of youtube to your own computer (rather than adding it to favorites)?

If you use Firefox there are a couple of extensions that allow you to save the vids...I use VideoDownloader.

CAUSAL

I said when the flap over Napster started and I'll say it again: the digital media genie is out of the bottle--you can't put it back in again. You just have to learn to do business in a digital market place. People look down on conservatives for trying to halt "progress?" Just look at those fuckers in the entertainment industry: they're trying to turn the clock back to the pre-digital age, and they're alienating their fans while they're at it. Morons.

We have done the impossible, and that makes us mighty. And these rutters can NOT stand us getting a little piece of it- and, so, they stomp out what they can.
Save all that you can- before the End

Unfortunately, there are a lot of very cool videos with no disclaimers. That makes them easy targets.

I must point out again that they haven't gone after any of The X-Files fanvids/ Bloopers.

Interesting....

Interesting....

That's because X-Files , although it was
" subversive " , was viewed by the average watcher as just another paranoid ,
sci-fi/fantasy program . It had it's great points , and was often fun to watch , but a lot of folk just wouldn't consider it 'real' .

So X-Files = subversive , but 'unreal'...

On the other hand , Firefly , although subversive and a somewhat down-and-dirty vision of the future , is held by its viewership to be more plausible , and therefore , "more real" .

The individualist and libertarian aspects are what make it too subversive for the Alliances and Blue Suns of our little world , and the future that is planned for delivery to all of us...

Real , everyday folk IN SPACE , making their own way ? Can't be ALLOWED to happen...Too much freedom...Gotta smash the dreams of the common folk . " Don't want 'em to have firearms , and definitely not those dangerous Space Ships ! Someone could be Killed ! "

And that THEME SONG ! " Can't take the sky from me ! "

" That Joss Whedon is a bomb-throwing
rabble-rouser who must be stopped at any cost ! "

Don't most of the videos say in like really big letters that they were made for fun, and they give credit to Fox, universal, etc.? The shouldn't they not count that as copyright infringement?
This just doesn't make sense to me. In the same way that it didn't make sense to me when they shut down bluesunshirts.com. If they're not doing anything with this great idea that they threw away, then what's the point in keeping others from supporting it??

Unfortunately giving credit does not stop copyright infringement from being copyright infringement. You need to explicitly get permission from the copyright holders to use their copyrighted material.

That said, I see no reason whatsoever why they should be going after people who post videos on YouTube. If anything it just gives them more advertisement and word of mouth. It doesn't make sense to me at all.

Fanvids are free promotion ...a way to get their product out and in to even more hands.

How many people would never have heard of Firefly if it wasn't for some fan with a vid on their myspace page?

Removing the vids.....

Legal: Yes

Smart: NO
