Ass hurt...petty...small minded TWATS!

the Vader film?

reply

Yup

Just dont go pay for any more Disney films.

What the heck, dude!

I expect that from CBS getting involved in the fan-made "Star Trek" productions.

One thing I'll say about George Lucas; despite being a toymaker and not a filmmaker, he shared his passion with people on their our terms, letting them be creative. That's how "Star Wars" became so successful. Everyone could get involved.

Agree fully! Can not imagine how this idea got past committee. It just has petty hurt feelings
Written all over it. And here I thought Disney might start keeping their eyes on the ball. STRIKE THREE!

Boycott Captain Marvel, Disney is a greedy company

Actual facts. YT video slapped with same claim that every video which uses copyrighted music attracts. Including fan films.

All the guy has to do is take out copyrighted music and there's no claim.

But it seems to be preferable to some to play the victim and stir up a shitstorm.

You would know😉

That's a new low, no matter how you sell it.

Asking them not to monetize it, or asking them not to have benefits, that would be OK. But monetizing a fan film, that's despicable.

reply

That is a dick move from Disney, even though in they are in their right to do so. Why do they care? As the owner of the YT Channel said, it's pennies for them.

I guess that what I take from here (nothing new) is that Disney are just penny grabbing bullies that really do not care about other people getting creative and expanding on ideas. To think that a company valued at $36.5 Billion Dollars decided to put someone and spend time and money studing how to sue and then manually suing a video on a channel of YouTube... for what? Pennies¿

I imagine this went something like:

Disney Dude 1: Hey so, there's a fan-made video of a Darth Vader on YT.
Disney Dude 2: How do you know?
Disney Dude 1: My son told me, he loved it. Should we sue them?
Disney Dude 2: Yeah! Get our lawyers into it to see how we can crush it!
Disney Dude 1: Noice! First thing on my New years resolution: check!

Sure Disney could and had the right to do that, but I think that by doing it just shows how much of a shitty company Disney has become.

Anyway, it's my understanding that this guy can just remove the song that is in violation of the copyright and re-upload the video, I'm sure people will give him the views back. I sure would.

Great response...thanks! Have to admit it was late when I posted this...need to research and get the whole picture...seems a hot story👍

reply

Nobody has been sued.

The guy's video is still there and is unaffected.

Still no adverts on video.

Controversy is 100% bullshit.

reply

You must have responded to me on accident👍

reply

Disney is run by the greediest s.o.b.'s on the planet but producing films with socialist subtexts doesn't even make them blush. Uncle Walt must be spinning in his cryo-tank or wherever the hell he is.

reply

Just because they have that power it doesn't mean they should use it. Purely tyrannical.

reply

Yeah...like little kids with a lemonade stand. Everyone knows that technically it would need a licence etc...but only an old twat would report a kids lemonade stand😂

reply

Article on where the claim actually comes from and why it's by no means the first claim to be made.

reply

You're acting much like a dog...that mistakenly thinks I care how the bone I tossed him tastes😉

reply

I guess you wouldn't care when the taste of your own shit would appear to seem perfectly good enough for yourself.

reply

It took you that long to come up with that? L😂L!

reply

Don't be so harsh on him, I've dealt with him on the Halloween board and he clearly has Asperger's. He's also pretty dense.

reply

Sometimes you have to deliver a clout to the snout😉 how have you been? Any interesting conversations taking place lately?

reply

Where have YOU been? Did you miss the countless threads about you on GD?!

reply

Countless threads?😲 I must pay better attention!

reply

Yes, you should pay us a visit over there! Mitch really misses you.☹

reply

Would love nothing more! But it seems my presence is a distraction😟 besides...there are so many folks that need guidance on this whole star wars DBacle😂

reply

I know how you feel, D-feet, but we need to share ourselves with the world. They like us, they really like us!😍
