RDCCDX: Digital Pirates of Dark Water Saga: Ep. 4: End of the Road

[BackstabMurphy]

This one with the original audio is what caused me to love these guys and all their work. I also bought the music that Balzac makes, and it's pretty damn good.

[TehTechnoGuy]

OH THANK JESUS.

THE ORIGINAL AUDIO.

ITS SOOOO GOOD. BALZAC INTO THE LIGHT OF THE 13 DARK NIGHT.

[VirninRael]

It has sound for me...

[SilverZeo88]

... would relaunching the Nerds movie franchise will be like this?

[tanksmallcape]

I want to find whoever runs WMG and jam my dick down his throat after I slap him in the face with it and knock him unconscious.

[Sievr]

what...the...hell. Are these guys serious? They take the audio off THIS? This awesome animated short which is 99.9% blood-and-sweat original content? Eff you WMG.

[murloc27]

yeah really

[ssjwes]

Seriously, they do more harm to themselves when they take down the audio. It is like mix-tapes, I might hear something that I like, and decide to purchase it. If, however, you can't hear it, you won't know it exists, and won't go looking for it.

this

I do that alot. Almost all my buys of music and such is from getting exposed to it off the internet like youtube and fansites of different types. Ill hear or see something and want to get it.

[JonasPlanck]

Warner just lost a few customers It would seem... I hope the colossal amounts of money they "saved" from lost potential earnings of their snippet of recorded music makes up for the amount of money lost by alienating their customer base. Oh yeah, and 59 viewers work for WMG.

[iannerd97]

WMG taking away the audio from a video about music piracy = irony.

[Equilibrium2037]

Eat a dick, WMG!

[903harman]

-_- wow really... fucking WMG No one buy there shit EVERYONE PIRATE IT! FUCKING PISS US OFF! WE'LL SHOW YOU!

[FuzzyGhost]

Seriously, they do more harm to themselves when they take down the audio. It is like mix-tapes, I might hear something that I like, and decide to purchase it. If, however, you can't hear it, you won't know it exists, and won't go looking for it.

[TheMarked1]

Fuck the WMG

[Myounage]

WMG can eat my dick. I'm done with them.

[TheZaneyman]

fuck u warner music group peice of shit heads

[Viperslasher17]

alright go to facebook go to the fortaxreasons page and I've posted a link there that goes to the site with full sound FORTAXREASONS RULES FIGHT THE WMG

[Viperslasher17]

they are silencing me from telling you the truth they have it on funnyor die.com check under for taxreasons it's there in fullsoudn

[Viperslasher17]

@Viperslasher17 okay if you have a facebook go to the taxreasons page and i've posted a link that you can watch it FORTAXREASONS RULES

[gmodmaster20]

FUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCKKKKKKK YOUUU WWWWMMMMMGGGGGGGG

[tanksmallcape]

I can't believe those cunts muted this video. It was the best of them all.

Goddamn you WMG. Goddamn you to hell.

[islandcam]

Will you guys be making more animations (hopefully with Mark and Barry) in the future?

[178Sparks]

OH THE IRONY! Fuck you WMG. Let Giygas eat your very souls.

[mangaka89]

It doesn't even show up on for tax reasons! DAMN YOUTUBE!

[joseaca]

THIS IS BULLSHIT!!!

[treydude08]

WMG didn't mute the audio, they just wanted us to go to their site

[Drewberdooba]

Haha, I like how they parodied evangelion with the robots.

[Iridetrikes]

i looked up irony in a dictionary and it brought me here, wtf?

[zequelll]

stupid bitch wmg your just mad because the videos are true. kiss your profits and ass goodbye!

[yx516]

lets all leave youtube and make copyrightinfringmentube

[NioYagami]

I am completely overwhelmed by the irony of this video in particular.

[chanel6548]

fucking youtube and their bull shit copyright, and fucking WMG making a big deal when ever a son is played for only like 30 seconds, just be glad that they didn't played the entire song! fucking assholes!

[MrHP25]

I was lucky enough to watch this before the audio was muted. Anyway, I'd love to watch something like this on TV. I'd record every episode on VHS. Just think how popular a cartoon comedy about  gaming college geeks would be.

[notknown]

FUCK THE RIAA!

[HerccoelFalater]

Just to let you know you are all you are screaming at an automated script, which most likely runs on java for that matter.

Go yell at runescape for a while, its equivalent to your current lunacy.

[Karlfalcon]

Wow. Fucking low blow, Warner.

Jesus, somebody needs to put a stop to this shit.

[Karlfalcon]

I mean for god's sake, how many other Balzac videos are up on youtube, unmolested?

[kamiazee]

wow youtube....LOW BLOW taking out the sound on a freaking animation that these guys worked their BUTT'S off for!!!!

[sylta09]

just google: "RDCCDX: Digital Pirates of Dark Water Saga: Ep. 4" its the 2nd hit.

but i'm wondering, what is the name of the song used in the last epic battle? :P

[DrStu2]

lol perfect ending,

the sound was muted cuz of wmg copyright laws! hahaha...

what a great way to parody what the episode was about in the first place!!!!

[overlord305305]

hahahahaha! perfect a cartooon where they were just making fun of the copywrite laws, and wmg muted it. fuck off wmg!

[masterchief527]

One day youtube might even fall bcuz of this stupid WMG

[Maracachucho]

mirror mirror mirror mirror mirror mirror mirror mirror mirror mirror mirror mirror mirror mirror mirror mirror mirror mirror mirror mirror mirror mirror mirror mirror mirror mirror mirror mirror mirror mirror mirror mirror mirror mirror mirror mirror mirror mirror mirror mirror mirror mirror mirror mirror mirror mirror

[VNightshade8]

Be nice to see WMG sued the shit out of for this kind of crap...

[TheCarruths]

A friend of mine ran into this problem. The automated sound sniffers flagged the audio track of his video as an infringement of WMG's copyright. Punchline: WMG didn't own the music in question. We know this for a fact because the track was a wholly owned original work of the poster.

[HerccoelFalater]

its easy to work around by cutting about 2-5 seconds off part of a song, and changing the quality. That way it won't register. It looks for commonly downloaded and direct cd rips of music. Its not hard to bypass.

[AlphaLuna]

Ok...this is hilarious, I mean I understand copyright infringment when is about AMV...but THIS IS AN ORIGINAL WORK ANIMATION !! Geez!!... WMG would get more attention to its music in no other way than this. I mean c'mon!

[spacegrim]

wait... So they make a serie about people copyrigthing, and now the audio is gone because they used a track that has not been authorized by WMG? hm...

[2protostypeX]

there is no sound

[Flashlight1996]

Motherfucking copyright!

[therealdwk]

-_-

[Laputa4rs]

Damnit! FUCKING WMG SHIT AGAIN! I'll never know now D=

[anger123]

fucking shit youtube and wmg shit

[jcj83429]

look it up on the internet and you should be able to find a version w/ audio

[gsboss]

someone needs to give these guys a show. now

[ObeyBunny]

Doesn't WMG realize that when a show is available on YouTube, then that show is getting free advertising?

I had never even heard of this show a few days ago, and now I'm searching every Best Buy and Walmart in town to find a legitimate DVD copy.

[AirMan928]

Fucking A, the audio got removed! WMG can suck a cock

[Badabinski]

@AirMan928

No, they can go suck 4 cocks. Important distinction there.

[leeacher2k]

Does anyone know where I can Watch this WITH sound?!?!?!?

[win70supershadow]

funny or die has it

[Hotora86]

Isn't this ironic? An episode about the FBI fucking up kids for copyright infringement has been muted because of copyright infringement?

[dash1336]

Wow. I hope everyone and thing involved in the WMG is tied to a tree and lit on fire.

[Filmaker215]

indeed.

[graffitisamurai]

According to youtube, the best way to not infringe on someone's copyright is to think of something "completely original".

...This shit randomly (but awesomely) ends with a FUCKING ROBOT BATTLE ROYALE. If that's not original...THAN FUCK YOU WMG.

[Mermanatee]

no audio argh nooooooo

[helllloooo44]

hahaha.  hilarious!

check out this series, too. it rocks!!!!

[Deathcom7000]

WOW!! Fuck WMG

[slackeriii]

Just for this I'm going to illegally download 2 terrabites of licensed material. See how you like that WMG, you piss suckers.

[kamiazee]

wow, thats EXTREMELY messed up youtube

[bandgeekak87]

Well this is ironic... WMG, you can go jump off a cliff now. kthnxbai.

[DeizeKnutts]

Muted audio huh? Cunning bastards...

[CommanderHoskins]

No more audio ):

[nokshor]

Ironic.

[jasonisrobin234]

...This finger of my is glowing red, It's loud roar tells me to defeat you!

Take this, my hatred, pain, and all of my sorrow!

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK YOU FIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNNG­AR!

GO! GO! FOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

[crazywaffles12]

DAMN YOU WMG!

If you go to the fortaxreasons website you can watch it on Quicktime with sound.

[Treusch]

@crazywaffles12

Thanks!

[supuhfly]

Fuck WMG

[RADMANDelux]

HAHAHAHA the audio was silenced in a series revolving around web piracy.

[TrueSoreThumb]

God dammit, Warner.

You ruin everything, don't you?

[DrolKeegEht]

Hey, Warner Music Group. MY DRILL IS THE DRILL THAT PIERCES YOUR LAWYER BULLSHIT! GIGA... DRILL... BREAKAAAH!

[zeldafreak112]

I dont care if I get banned for this, but WMG can SUCK MY COCK.

[icewashu]

They did it they really finally did it. Dam you WMG. Sue me but dam you all to hell.

[masterofblight]

god I fucking hate youtube

[St2udent]

couldnt they have just asked to have THEIR song removed ...verses the ENTIRE FUCKING AUDIO TRACK????!!!!! WTF is up with that???? ...it was a great ending though......and they gave credit to the singers in the credits ....sooooo fucking senseless ......this is PROMOTING their song ..if anything...

[St2udent]

the video that is ...not removing the audio .....

[Alkalineprophet]

You know, I was just about to come on here and listen to the song so I could buy it off iTunes, but now I think I'll just go borrow a friends' CD.

It might only be one 99 cent sale, but they do eventually add up.

[hypnodance]

WTF? I can't hear what anyone's saying! >:(

[usagimee]

ironically i got an itunes card for christmas and had this song stuck in my head, but now I don't know what the song was so I can't find it and legally download it because they removed it. Ironic.

[itchigo569]

lol episode 2 and 3 were about pirating music and now the audio here has been turned off for pirating music, classic. Even without audio still was still hilarious.

[RobotDCLXVI]

Who the fuck is WMG and why are they such huge dickbags?

[codemasterda]

@RobotDCLXVI warner music group, these asshats own many labels and if you have so much as a 30 part of their song in your video consider it muted.

if you want to listen to 30 seconds of the song you gotta pay.

[Iridetrikes]

This is so sad... I'm glad a got to see it once before it got ruined

[TJWRDS]

WMG is one of the most disgraceful companies to ever plague this world.

[supertraikern]

@TJWRDS I second that!

[MonarchofHell]

WMG is pissing LOTS of people off. D:<

[NivMizzetFiremind]

FFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU who the fuck flagged this?!

[punkmonkoffunk]

The irony is I NEEDED TO HEAR THE DAMN SONG SO I COULD BUY IT FROM ITUNES YA SHORT SIGHTED BASTARDS. Most other companys put up a itunes link over the video if it bugs them that much but WMG KEEPS SHOOTING THEIR OWN FOOT.

[Sephirex]

Fucking annoying, money grabbing copyright. Ironically, this proves he point of your entire series: Copyright is being taken ridictulously too seriously!

[Dark42Raine]

Stupid stupid copyright...

They aren't preventing any market loss, they're just annoying people!

[cammameil]

Actually they are promoting the loss of their own market share dark42raine, since their behavior ultimately alienates consumers and turns them against their company, costing them more in revenue than they were ever losing from unpermissioned uses of their material.

The cost of policing copyrighted material is an ever increasing number as you add more content to your copyrighted library. Every new song or jingle means another set of eyes and ears needs to be guarding it from unlicensed use.

[Icecold218]

this is just a witch hunt...

[Kukadin]

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

[Rosette527]

Wow, irony to the extreme. It's almost like they were just waiting for the opportunity. =P

[GameCrazyLOL]

DAMNIT YOUTUBE! Youtube has this money fetish thats sucking all the sound out opf videos with 10 seconeds of a song they don't get any money rights off of.

[aineishere]

dudes no sound

[nhjo]

The hell, man? There was dialogue in this! You litigious BASTARDS!

[dcorps]

lol copyright infringment....

[fortaxreasons]

This series sure had its share of laughs, but the last one belongs to the Warner Music Group.

Or was this part of our plan all along?

We're working on a fix for the audio issue, but until then you can still see the unmuted video at the official For Tax Reasons web site!

[jthmguitarist]

Yeah I downloaded your Quicktime video and it froze my computer

Just saying

[variously2]

that's cuz quicktime sucks balls

[902386]

@fortaxreasons What was the original song

[Viperslasher17]

@902386 it was into the light of the 13 dark night

[GheoBlackPlum]

@fortaxreasons Fucking genius!

[lchandlerable]

such beautiful irony.

this sucks, i wanted to watch this one.

I CANT READ CARTOON LIPS!

just saying.

[pyxlated]

AGH THE AUDIO

[Ryoku1]

The irony of this being muted is not lost upon me.

It's taking everything I have to not bust out laughing.

[Fastzombie42]

I'd be laughing with you if I wasn't so angry at YouTube for being a little bitch about copyright infringement.

[Saiyza]

That was awesome...

I just stumbled across it, too!

[cubepusher]

Thank god it's not just me thought I had damaged my iPhone for a second there.

[jthmguitarist]

Bullshit! No audio? WHERE CAN I WATCH??

[ChainbladeVideos]

AND THEY JUST DID IT.. agghh!

[DemonOfHalo]

that is so homo that youtube muted it.

[SmurffNationn]

0:56 "I do it for the lol's,  Mark!"

[RagingSka]

I hate that there are probably people out there that are just like Seth. I'd punch him in the face. For justice, and some lols.

[kithkindeck]

why do i feel like i've just seen the original evangelion ending?

[wesuda]

This is better :P

[MadMaxe13]

Whoa whoa whoa...is that it? For real? I just got here! God dammit! You will make more I command it so!

[Xats]

this ending isn't random at all!

[St2udent]

into the light of the 13nth night (thats what the song is called ) it says it near the end!!!!!!

[Pekz00r]

Great stuff!

Except the ending maybe, it could have been so much better.

[bloodsuckern]

whats the name of that song?

[kinesta]

that was epic i wish there was more :DDD

[212conker212]

thts the ending?? kind of sucked

[hueyfreemanthesamura]

how?

[SqueakyReaper]

That... could of been much better. Much. Well... okay. The end?

[GortokTheDestroyer]

Hmm, that was a pretty lame ending to a funny storyline.

[Daniso7]

love all teh EVA references! AWESOMENESS

[1eva23]

bahahahah "i do it for the LOLz"

[Filmaker215]

would you guys manage telling me where I can find the original series, it just looks really cool.

[GortokTheDestroyer]

This is an original series.

[Filmaker215]

[supertraikern]

You wanna' get crazy?

Lets get CRAZY!

[St2udent]

somehow i knew it would come down to this : cue awesome music and giant robots!!!!

[St2udent]

it makes my inner nerd smile!!!!!

[Filmaker215]

EPIC and with the music it was MEGA EPIC!!!!!

[WhiteTiger225]

Seth - The face of /B/tards everywhere XD

[bboyeric]

it was awesome for like 2 minutes... the ending was... lacking... everything :(

[ryN45678]

HAHAHA THATS THE BEST SHIT EVER.

[UnholyTaurenDK]

Such an epic fight. Sucks the saga is over qq

[rotnrollhunter]

Balzac ftw! Show this shit to adult swim they need shit like this on the air!

[ryN45678]

that would be fucking awesome

[LaceySnr]

Does this really have to be the end?

[aniyn]

Please tell me that, like EVA, you're going to redo the ending.

[pagangeek]

lulz

[simins2]

...the FUCK?

[stupidppl2]

Had my hopes up to high

[BOXMAN666666666]

I DEMAND MOAR!!!

[shindoushuichi0287]

saw the double Zeta Gundam on his wall. Gundam is win

[brainhost]

Squeeee!

[GarBear7G]

I don't know what those other guys were talking about. The ending took this series to a whole nother level!

[almostseth2]

Man, I was sooo looking forward to a geek on geek slap fight...

Totally disappointed now.

[iamagiantseaturd]

meh, the other 3 were awesome.... But the ending falls short... They could of at least made these mechs from something like Battletech or someother super awesome geekdom game :D

[clocknighter]

what song is this

[soniku]

more like wing gundam

[kalphitekil]

Reminds me of Megas XLR

[deathdude88]

That was pretty anti-climatic.

[GarrestheWarrior]

That... That's it? WTF?

[ryanthezigzagger]

lol this was awesome

[HiddenToast]

Lol only if nerd fights were this cool in rl

[TheGAMERgg]

very nice guys, you guys must be fans of FLCL. I would love to see more episodes!

[ElliotCarver]

[OverLordRyan]

[Firelordzerien]

"you wanna get crazy let's get crazy!' im going to be quoting that for weeks!

[Juel92]

Awesomeeeee

[Daniellimit1]

I do it for the lawlz Mark. . .

[falconpauncher]

"lulz" douchebag

[andhellomyneighbor]

WHY DID IT END SO ABRUPTLY.

[cooro1313]

I think that there robot should have bin the steam punk one from there other short
