Okay, this is serious, and I don't mean serious like we'll laugh about it in a few years, like financially serious. Apparently, Viacom, the one we all know and "love" as the major monopoly company that owns MTV, Nickelodeon, CMT, South Park, SpongeBob, Invader ZIM, etc. are going to sue Youtube for uploading fan-made videos of their characters. I just saw this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=94K0fAIBQHU&feature=sub and it quickly sent shivers up my spine. What if Viacom decides to sue us? They're always pissed at the world if they don't make a dime out of it, I think we should seriously think at HOW we're going to post this series without awakening a troll. Hell, I suggest we stand against this during this movement, I really think they're being irrational about it. |

You shittin me? Ugh, their overwhelmingly evil! They can go stick their dick up their own fuckin ass..... The fact that their getting all assenine over this really shows what little a life they've got! They don't have a life, they can't have one...... Because they sit on a computer all day, having a rage fest over this meaningless, shit..... I guess losing 100's of dollars makes their daily dose of billions feel less dense! In reality I'm not afraid of them, they could sue my ass if they wanted, I'm really not scared of them! They may be a big and evil corporation but i'm literally hellbent on bringing those kinds of evil corporations down by any means necessary! Even if that means, strapping several bombs to my person detonated to set off during the trial! Edited by Bladez636, Mar 26 2010, 05:19 PM.

I'm not afraid, I AM MAD. I will NOT pay $15,000 to some multi-Billion dollar corporation to make them feel they're special just because I am a FAN of what they sponsor. I think we should all in this forum write a letter or post a video saying we stand against this, because we're not going to let them ruin something we love AGAIN, because they're just pigs in suits. It's not that they have a life, it's that they don't have a heart, or a brain, and should seriously consider visiting the Wizard of Oz. I will not STAND for this, and I won't let them sue any of us for being fans--FANS! I know that the world is run by big guys and their cigars, but we shouldn't cower at this, we should stand against this because it's because of US that THEY are rich, it's because of US that THEY have enough money to SUE the fans which are US. |

We the FANS Outnumber anyone who works with Viacom, around the world! Not just Zim, that includes anything they own...... South Park, Spongebob, The Daily Show, anything!!!! The number of fans worldwide could kill those assholes easily....... I've been pushed around by insignificant little sods who mean nothing all my life, and do you think i'm about to let a conglomerate do so? The term fair use dosen't apply to them at all! I would toss a brick through their headquarters windows if I went there! |

We shouldn't resort to violence, it NEVER works. I think we should all post videos on youtube and write letters, we should show support against this. We have to prove to Viacom that the number of people are more than their petty cash to hire ass-headed lawyers who would even take this case to financially ruin children. If Youtube and its fans win this, we'll have wedgied one of the biggest corporate snot-assed companies in the WORLD. I mean, I can't believe I supported them for so long in my life! I have so much Nick junk in my room, I feel like throwing them out, heck, not a single penny goes to the original creators! |

I'm not afraid.. I feel Viacom should (Please excuse the swearing) go to hell. They're TOO CORRUPT! They killed my two favorite TV shows, and I am PISSED. |

We're not going to be scared, but we shouldn't just tell them to bring them on...because they can afford a good attack. I posted this to warn the group that even if we're fans, Viacom doesn't care about us--not at ALL. They would use us as welcome mats and toilets if they had the chance. |

Then let's boycott! Let's not buy their cruddy merchandise, not watch any of their channels. COMPLETELY CUT OFF VIACOM. If we all do this, and get all of youtube to do so, we can make a HUGE difference, I bet. |

There are many people against them, but theyre an evil corporation who won't clean the crap out of their ears! They don't give a toss about what the fans do! But still, your right, and I suppose it is worth trying! I say we threaten to boycott their merchandising! |

I'm definitely not buying anything anymore from them--EVER! There's actually a boycott movement going around, and I think that's a good idea. I can't cancel my subscription to Nicktoons because I'll lose my subscription to Boomerang, History International, and National Geographic, so it's kind of a lose-lose situation for me, but I'll definitely watch episodes online now. |

Perfect! I'll make a youtube video, and try to spread the word. It'll kill me, but I'll try and stop watching Nicktoons permanently. (I watch it for Zim and my other favorite show) |

Yeah, i'm no longer watching Nickelodeon, Comedy Central or..... well thats it, I never watch a thing from any other channel, MTV blows! I swear to god, if Viacom wins, I sha'll be well convinced there is no justice in this world! In addition, i'll move to a foreign nation like Denmark or wherever the internet is lapsed in its connections and start up a website like YouTube except nerts to copyright! I rarely buy a thing from them anymore, Zim isn't that easily found in merchandising! That's why i'd rather put my artwork with my OC's onto a shirt! Wouldn't be funding those retards a cent! |

You can watch the shows online, that's what I do. I'm making a video right now too, but it's more of an opinion; be sure to video response it into the link I left it in to let the people know easier.
I only watch Nicktoons, Nick, CN and Boomerang for cartoons, other than that I watch History Channel and other ghost shows. MTV SUCKS, and I feel terrible that I can't watch VH1 anymore, but I'm sticking to this. Justice is dead, but I think we can CPR it back to life if Youtube wins this case. If I move, I'm moving to France, they have an amazing animation company. I bought a Gir shirt two weeks ago, that's it. I hate that they sell a Gir make-up brand, it's ridiculous. But my nick-things aren't strickly IZ (although it's the majority). But you're right, I rather run around with a shirt of an OC's, it's a shame I haven't bought iron-ons yet. But, you know what it will REALLY get them pissed? I'm going to make my own Zim plush and hat, and whatever I can come up with. >: ( Edited by Cosmographia, Mar 26 2010, 06:00 PM.
