DMCA'd

Redacted and discarded per DMCA takedown notice.

Damn, blocked in Thailand. YouTube search has lots of stuff with proper thumbnail but no actual content... I hate the DMCA.

He makes a very persuasive argument.

But then, I think about how there are lots of counterexamples to the "legislation that gets out will be good legislation" bit. Patriot Act. DMCA. Citizens United. Homeland Security and Aviation and Transportation Security Acts.

DMCA takedown imminent. The work is not derivative or transformative.

Discarded per DMCA take-down request. Sorry.

DMCA takedown notice received.

Mirimax has DMCA'd yo ass. *dead

Be this as it may, eBaum is the only place to find parodies that have been blasted by DMCA takedowns everywhere else.

For example, the excellent GIJoe cartoon PA overdubs.

Fuck the DMCA.

Sorry, @enoch. *kill per DMCA take-down.
