Why I Removed the Cartoon Clips - Warner Brothers Complaint

Hey y'all who have enjoyed (or just been interested in) the cartoon episodes I had set up here on YouTube.

Yesterday, July 6, I began receiving copyright infringement notices with regards to the uploaded cartoons (specifically, Warner Brothers and their Frankenstein Jr. show). In order to maintain my YouTube account, I have now removed all of the copyrighted (yet not licensed on DVD) material.

For all those of you who enjoyed the series I uploaded (the above-mentioned Frankenstein Jr., Filmation's Ghostbusters, Thundarr the Barbarian, and Street Sharks), I offer these three suggestions for obtaining the unavailable shows you like:

- Voice your interest for official releases of the shows you love, either by expressing them directly to the copyright holders or indirectly through sites like TVShowsonDVD.com

- Look for torrents that contain the episodes/series you are looking for.

- Check auction sites, such as eBay, for fan-compiled releases. Be aware that these are often unofficial releases and may not contain all of the episodes/material. You may also want to check some purchase sites in Great Britain, which tend to receive cartoon-on-DVD releases prior to the United States (keep the DVD region encoding in mind).

It was a good run while it lasted and I enjoyed sharing them with you.

- Nick

i dont like your voice!!! i had to stop the video i hate your voice so much

[Orenady]

I know! I dislike my voice a lot myself, hence I don't watch my own videos.

I am still going to use it though ;-)

[trevvvor]

lol. That was ages ago that I said that!

[Orenady]

Yep; the e-mail account I use for YouTube is filled to the brim with spam and newsletters, so I only recently learned about the commenting that had taken place :-)

Now though, I intend to incorporate YouTube more into my life.

Feh....after 9 years now they care about Street sharks?

After forty (40) years, WB still cares about Frankenstein Jr, apparently.

[ultimatemegadeath]

Orenady: why do you put up with their shit? it's a free country and Youtube is the villain here. ever plan on posting your shows on other places like " VEOH"? and FYI: kick ass Capt. N cells of Megaman and Kid Icarus in the back.

BaseStationZero, if everyone does that it'll probably get a lot worse.

[AnbenK]

right,just stop buying those craps,we can live just fine without it

[BaseStationZero]

Another audio track muted by "WMG"?

Make sure you check the copyrights on any music you want to buy - if it's produced by WMG, DON'T BUY IT!

WB IS GAY

[bcweir]

Un-freaking-believable. WB pitching a fit over a 42 year old cartoon. As if this is costing THEM money. This is why we need copyright reform now. Meanwhile, WB is going to sit on this 42 year old cartoon that they are likely making little or no money off of, but they're going to deny the rest of us the right to bring it out of obscurity. To make matters worse, they sic their corporate lawyers on YouTube to bully you into capitulation.

[maddoctor138]

It sounds as though they overreacted. If people are going to YouTube to watch this stuff then there's a demand for it and it should be released on DVD. End of story.

[imanacer]

I guess I understand. Thanks for having posted them. I will NOT make any analogies between WB and Nazis, fascists or any other oppressive control hungry groups.

They will find you and they WILL put you in jail.
