Teen apologises over ABC YouTube sham
Saturday Apr 14 17:32 AEST

A Perth teenager has apologised to the ABC for pretending to represent the national broadcaster in demanding the removal of hundreds of video clips from the YouTube website.

The 15-year-old boy sent YouTube a signed form saying he represented the copyright owner, ABC Television, and that he wanted the footage, mostly from The Chaser's War on Everything, removed from the website.

The clips had been placed on the YouTube site by other internet users.

The head of ABC-TV comedy Courtney Gibson said the teenager had been contacted by the ABC's lawyers and had since apologised.

Ms Gibson said it was not yet clear why the boy had decided to impersonate an ABC employee.

"Everyone does dumb stuff when they are fifteen," Ms Gibson told ABC Radio.

"But what was of concern to us was the fact that YouTube was sending copyright infringement notices to people who have been uploading Chaser clips to YouTube, threatening to shut down their access to YouTube if they persist. That's what was worrying to us," she said.

"As I say, we really appreciate that he's apologised and we'll be following up with him next week."

What a stupid asshole this "Dante" is. Does he think he's patented the idea of taking video clips from Bridge Commander or something?

You've gotta love the way he and his little butt-clingers were whooping and hollering in triumph over YouTube taking his complaint seriously. They take every complaint seriously, even obviously bullshit ones like the one just mentioned above. It doesn't mean the complaint necessarily has merit.

I was wondering where all the fucking Chaser's War on Everything videos went. I can't watch it when it airs because I'm at uni.

Indeed I will.

Youtube has already been informed (and shown proof) of what Mr. Leonhart did with the information they provided to him.

Still waiting to hear back from...several other interested parties.

Hey, Einhander Sn0m4n is in Louisiana, isn't he? Can't we send him to Louisiana Tech with a footlong, studded strapon?

I think he moved to Texas after Katrina.

Darth Holbytlan wrote:The fact that Poe's clip came from Bridge Commander directly, rather than from Dante's video seems to be sailing right over their heads. More to the point, it contains no creative elements of Dante's at all, and so can't violate his copyright.

Yes, and it'll be interesting to see how Leonfart reacts now that it has been spelled out for them on their forum.

Actually, I'm most interested in reading about the softness of DanteLeonhart's skin based on his other posts.

You should a "Wong Poe" account on the board.

From fucknut's board:

Originally posted by raelien_jemimerI, PERSONALLY dont care what you have to say, I just wish you wouldnt be so petty as to splash it all across these boards,- I cant recall anywhere where DANTE asked us to post on your board and flame!!!!!!...why....becuase hes not that childish.

Really? So repeated bleatings of "you're gay" and "faggot" from Dante is much more adult and civil in your eyes?

Oh and if anyone would like to dicuss MY opinions, openly and ADULTLY, I am prepared to provide YIM or email details, rather than hiding behind your fake persona's like fucking terrorists hiding in caves!!

This, coming from the "adult" who I have to assume, thinks "Dante Leonhart" is a real name.

Yes, folks. The irony writes itself.

This is gold Poe. Also, I agree with DPDarkPrimus that a "Wong Poe" account is in order.

Indeed. How can Leonfart claim that this...

Subject: Re: Machinima

As per the terms stated in the license agreement (which you agree to by installing the software) you may not redistribute the software, reverse engineer or illegally copy any lines of code contained in the Star Trek: Bridge Commander disc or subsequent patches. Activision follows that fan-based movies that contain only in-game scenes and videos do not violate this agreement, and you are at liberty to hold ONLY these videos as your own, so long as these movies do not contain any clips from any actual series of Star Trek which is the property of Paramount Pictures.

...means this?

3) I claimed a violation of intellectual property GIVEN TO ME BY ACTIVISION IN THE EMAIL THAT HAS BEEN POSTED SEVERAL TIMES. Activision OUTRIGHT STATES that I AM AT LIBERTY TO HOLD THESE VIDEOS AS MY OWN.

Dante's comments from YouTube:

Further discussion about this subject will warrant an instant ban.

Lord Poe · Post by **Lord Poe** » 2007-04-16 11:57am

"Dante" banned me:

There's a line here, buddy. You crossed it. Say whatever the fuck you want about me, but after what you just said about my friends, you're done here. I don't care if you actually had some kind of valid point anymore. This post proves that you really don't have any kind of moral center. At least, beforehand, I thought you were arguing out of valid conviction, but after slinging that kind of trash, I really don't give a fuck about whatever you might think or whatever you might be able to prove.

You're done. Game Over. Goodbye. Next contestant, please.

Anyone else want to try their hand at the ban-o-matic?

What did I say that was so terrible? Did I call him or his friends a "faggot", or something? No. I responded to raelien_jemimer's post:

I think you missed my point you thick shit.

i made reference aboe to the fact that Dante had not asked us to flame you on your baords, what the fuck has that got to do with him calling you faggot or gay!!

he didnt ask us to post that now did he, which was the point of my argument.

for fucks sake at least i you are gonna come back with something, let it make sense at least, then I have something intelligent to respond to not more drivel!!!!

With this:

Good luck with the weight loss, raelien. I sincerely mean that.

Was it something I said?

And for the record, I'm not calling this guy "Dante" anymore. I'm going to name him "Melvin".

What bullshit. And the only guy who even thinks to look at our PoV is the guy who's been banned 4 times.
Though I always refer to him with DanteLeonhart. Since seperating the two names would lend validity to his dream of really being dante.

No, he's never been banned, it's an inside joke, kind of like how you'd tell your sibling you hated them in jest.
