k0nr4d · 03-29-2007, 04:33 PM

AllStar · 03-29-2007, 04:35 PM

Too bad US law doesn't apply in Canada?

k0nr4d · 03-29-2007, 04:37 PM

I'm gonna just kill the videos on the site, but leave them up as broken embeds. This site made a sorry ass $1000 total so its really not worth fighting for.

Do i stand to make more money from a parking page or what?

Canadian copyright laws still apply, as well as international. Come on, you don't honestly think you can hide in Canada from US copyright law?

Trey and Matt don't... but Comedy Central has been on a rampage lately going after everyone, including youtube for having their shows online.
