The death of Youtube

[Pennywise]

They have pulled a lot of old Mystery Science Theater 3000 episodes or just parts of them. I heard that Viacon is doing it. It's very frustrating when they take out episodes that aren't available for sale anywhere. I don't have a VCR anymore and I don't think my XBOX 360 or PS2 will play DV-R bootlegs of old episodes.

It's very frustrating.

I agree about the frustration part. They had the complete "Lair of the White Worm," in segments on the website, and I just got finished posting my comments about the film on the first segment, and was going to post my comments about the film on the second segment and subsequent segments, when Lions' Gate, which has rights to the film, made them remove all the segments of the film.

To be honest, I'm glad they're pulling complete films off youtube.  Youtube quality is a travesty to quality films, and it's irritating when you're trying to find related videos and you get 10 parts of an entire film.  Plus, of course, the blatant piracy is not so great.  I'm ok with subtle piracy I guess.

yeah it's just as ridiculous as the fact that you can't sing happy birthday in public beause it's copyrighted. Where does the insanity end
