"This video is no longer available due to a copyright claim by ESPN"

It seems to me that a bit of censorship is in play. Anything that they see as bad for their company apparently has the right to be removed. But, COME ON! It's a SNES GAME!

A message from the director of the video:

I'd recommend against doing any reviews of ESPN games, as they'll force you to remove them because of copyright infringement. Who can blame them though, I'm sure their early SNES games are still selling like hot cakes, can't steal any of their glory by letting people see a review of them now!

I see that tons of content owned by ESPN but submitted by others remains untouched.

This is a disturbing trend that I hope does not continue. For instance, I reviewed a game, Corvette Evolution GT, and gave it a 2/10. It would seem to me that by the way ESPN had that video removed, Milestone Studios or Valcon Games could just as easily whine at youtube and say, "HEY, THAT'S OUR GAME, FREAKING REMOVE THAT REVIEW."

Which leads me to more popular reviewers like the Angry Video Game Nerd. Nintendo, publishers, or developers could up and get the bright idea to pull this crap as well with their old NES games that received a WELL-deserved thrashing. I don't like this BS one bit.
 
thats nothing. you know NewsCorp (fox) had a bid on youtube at one time. im glad google won. if NC had, it would have turned into 1984 overnight lol.
 
Give it time, propeller. One of the most harrowing laughs I've had in recent memory came at the end of an SNL "State of the Union" skit set in 3000/the distant future, where Seth Meyers signs off by saying "You've been watching MSNBC...on Fox", or something very similar. Like I said, give it time. No loon in a Guy Fawkes mask gonna save our asses.

Newscorp (FOX) owns MySpace. Which is why I stay the hell away from that place.

If Nintendo or ANYONE started pulling Angry Video Game nerd videos, I would buy another Wii as a thank you. That unfunny dipshit is a waste of internet space. "Look at me, I'm drinking a beer while playing this game! Ha ha! Beer! I'm drinking a beer! Oh, and this game is OLD! Remember this game? How about this part of the game! This part sucked! Hey, here's another shot of me drinking!"

In conclusion, abolish Youtube.
 
Hey dipshit, he RARELY drinks in his reviews now.

"Hey, you know what's cool? To cuss on the internet. My mom used to yell at me when I used bad language playing this game 15 years ago, but now I can do it and it makes me a man! It's my schtick--saying fuck every 12 seconds is funny, right, right?!"

I just want to punch him, right in the nose. The sad thing is, some of his rants would be funny if he didn't feel the need to make every other word profane. It's not that the vulgarity offends me, it's that to make it funny there has to be proper timing. Comedians and others who think the more they swear the funnier / hipper / cooler they are--these folks are sadly mistaken.

That makes sense.

I disagree - censor it!

Sad thing is, with that attitude you'll probably become a mod.
 
[quote name='camoor']If parody is protected free speech, shouldn't a product review be protected as well (as long as it isn't slander)?[/QUOTE]

I would agree that a review which uses in-game footage is probably not truly a copyright violation, but IANAL. However since YouTube doesn't want to take a stand on it, the point is moot.

And did Cheapy's mod selection guidebook become public? That shit is supposed to stay under wraps.

LoL ;)

It was a cheap-shot from a cheap ass gamer, I actually have alot of respect for 99.9% of the mods around here.
