Blocked by Viacom... WTF? How does Viacom have any rights to this?

Oh, did I forget to mention? I'm head of Viacom. We're currently talking to Speilberg about filming ET2. And they say we're out of ideas!

Fuck you, Viacom. Fuck you forever. Oh no! People are accessing your content! Guess what! I'm just going to go and pirate it all, because fuck you, you brainless, slathering, rusty thundercunts.

Also, *dead, but I can't do that, so whatever.

Damn Viacom's fast

edit: fixed, now with Kyle's response.

This is probably going to go dead real quick.

You called it! dead

She's *dead , Jim
Viacom copyright claim. We need more huge, evil corporations to ruin everything.

*dead - due to a copyright claim by Viacom

"This video contains content from Viacom, who has blocked it on copyright grounds."
*lick
*dead

It reminded me of 1990s TV show Mini Playback show

doesn't need to be burned IMHO


It's owned by Viacom so, yes, it does need to be burned...

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

This is my method. Costs a little bit, but works really well. Curse you Viacom® bastards.

*dead (or possibly just blocked, but I'm pretty sure completely dead, thanks viacom)

apparently they're full-on re-branding. http://www.comedycentral.com/
looks like a sloppily drawn copyright symbol,... which, I guess is appropriate in the age of Viacom vs. Youtube

... also, the irony of trademarking what is basically the copyright symbol... thats pretty good


>> ^GDGD:

Holy shit, they (CC) finally play a new into

This is apparently region *blocked because it contains content from Viacom.

Sorry to be so ignorant about this stuff.... but am I suppposed to "discard" this video now? Or can I wait because Viacom may release the copyright claim?

What is the protocol? What is good manners?

I am in your hands.

Looks like Viacom deaded me.

Oh well. I got 4 votes before getting killed.

Don't panic. Worst case scenario: they hold the copyright to the clip you posted. In that case they need to contact the video host to have them remove it. They can also contact VS to tell the admins to take it down. If dag and lucky feel that they're the legitimate copyright holders, they can remove it from the system. This isn't your site, nor is LiveLeak (or whatever site is hosting the video you posted), so the responsibility isn't yours. Viacom went after YouTube in its lawsuit, not after the hundreds of thousands of people who uploaded copyrighted material.

Besides, you live in Canada. Are they going to extradite you to Los Angeles just because you embedded a video that someone else uploaded? If you think about it like that, you realize the patent absurdity of it all. Also, Fusionaut and gwiz665 could be right: it might all be some sort of scam. Do NOT call them back.

Fuck. Them.
