I had really started to enjoy watching these cartoons now that I have a high-speed connection. <BR/><BR/>There is a part of me that's hoping that the only reason why WB went after the cartoons on YouTube is because they plan on streaming their classic cartoons online like they have done with some of their contemporary animated and live-action shows on AOL's In2TV service. But I bet we won't be so lucky.<BR/><BR/>Ultimately, it's just another example to show how studios just don't give a damn about classic animation. Disney, like WB, has pretty much relegated their classic shorts to DVD only. Other studios probably will never release what is in their collections and they may not even so much as sublicense them to companies that would be more than willing to. It's kind of sad that after generations and generations have grown up on these cartoons, the buck just might stop here.Sterfishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13208250039135458409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6956070.post-1152243900587700862006-07-06T23:45:00.000-04:002006-07-06T23:45:00.000-04:00To hell with YouTube (sob).

I'm sorry to hear that, Jaime, because your videos were my favorite things to watch on that damn service, and I constantly was telling my friends to watch.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6956070.post-1152239229848574032006-07-06T22:27:00.000-04:002006-07-06T22:27:00.000-04:00They didn't take down my upload of "Thru the Mirro...They didn't take down my upload of "Thru the Mirror" yet, but they deleted my full, uncensored "Tortoise Wins by a Hare" for some ridiculously vauge copyright purpose.<BR/><BR/>What John K. and Mark Mayerson are saying is all correct. The whole reason we even use downloads is because the corporations are so reluctant to make good use of what they spend years, even DECADES retaining exclusive ownership to. We've seen so many classic Looney Tunes on the Internet, because they won't show them on Cartoon Network anymore, and they hardly promote their DVD releases.<BR/><BR/>This really isn't about us breaking the law (or what little their is to support that arguement). It's about a bunch of greedy sons-of-bitches who totally ignore the consumers' voices. They make things harder than they're supposed to be, and with this YouTube incident, they're still digging their own graves here.Yeldarb86https://www.blogger.com/profile/10131603833394294520noreply@blogger.com
