Hurray another god dammed rant, rated PG-13 for swearing, you has been warned.

Removal of Anime Shows, In the Right or Just Flat out Annoying?

Okay, is anyone else getting sick and tired of Youtube? Now look, I know youtube was sued. . .really badly and Google bought them out more than likely because of it. And so they've really 'cracked down' on any supposed Copyright issues. But at what cost?! They break our own damn amendments through not even giving video uploaders the right of due process. Now, while I admit most of the targets, namely the folks that upload cartoon shows onto it, you can't physically process them nor should you need to. But if you're going for someone. . .let's say an internet reviewer about a theme song on his show, send him a god-damn message to show proof of ownership and you have permission from the people who made it. Is that so hard?!

And while yes I am sort of bitching because I can't watch my episodes of Bleach, I understand that you're supposed to not watch it on Youtube, but honestly they hardly make a fraction of profits off the TV show, they make far more money from their Video Games, Movie DvDs, Toys. . and oh yeah their main product THE GOD DAMN MANGA. And what's probably biting my tits more so is that while I do understand removing the episodes{I do, don't think I don't} why the ******** is that all of a sudden, Sony Music Entertainment, the ******** holes who remove about every Japanese music soundtrack from Youtube now a days. Is removing the audio of the episodes because of the Opening and Ending. . .ARE YOU SERIOUS?! You don't even make any money from that you piss ********, you only make money from the full song any profits made go straight between the TV show and the actual artist, and even if you do make any money you are making the equivalent amount of pennies! This is going to be a short rant, as this is more of just Youtube pissing me off. And don't think I don't realize that I'm probably 'in the wrong', and while I'm all for stopping copyright infringement, you can't really stop it on the internet can you? Honestly I think constant monitoring of Youtube and tearing these things down when they pop up like herpes costs more money than what they think they're saving. . . And, and you know what else? It probably actually hurts their profits that they're taking these down! Most people get hooked on Anime because they get to have a free sample of it, if you say 'No you can't see any of this until you pay us for the DvD box set. . . $40 please!' and we've seen nothing of the series, we will say '******** you!'.

Ironic, huh? The fact we get to see it for free now and then means we will more than likely go out and buy the actual DvDs, after all its like T.V. in a way, it's free{Provided you pay Comcast or ATT&T} but if you really want it you can go out and get the DvDs!

And before anyone decides to say that this does cut into their profits, let me reiterate this little fact. They make MORE from their other products! Any video games they have, any movies, toys, and more importantly for pretty much every TV show there's a MANGA that all weighs into a lot more profits for them than their god dammed 30 minute~ show!
