Hey - don't know if you remember a I posted a little while back with starwars footage as an apple/intel spoof.

well, it got submitted to gizmodo.com and hosted on youtube by gizmodo

and now it's just shy of 200K views

?!? - who knew - ?!?

just thought I'd share my quasi success ;-), since it's kinda cool :)

That is amazing. Do those views translate to $$$ ?

The link seems to point to something un-star wars related.

LOL - wonder how I did that ?

link should be fixed now though.

as for the views - no they don't turn into any kind of $, just kewl to see it be a hit.

Um, er...copyright/licensing issue?

Thats amazing, just think 200,000 thousand or so people have seen your work, more than have seen some big production pictures,, gotta love cyberspace. Enjoyed the clip, add me as another viewer.
regarding copyright, parody probably covers it nicely.

yea - it's covered under fair use as a parody.

but if you look at You Tube, unless they have the God of all licensing solutions, there are TONS of flagrant copyright violations on that site all over the place, I wonder how it is they stay away from the lawyers.

Hey I saw that video translated into a YTMND site. (YTMND.com) a while back. Nice.

Here's my claim to YouTube fame and it's only through trickery that it got any views at all (currently around 50K hits):




You have to look at the thumbnail to see why it sold so well... :)

Dave, that is cool.
I remember chuckling for days when you first posted it, and now I'll be doing it again. Thanks:')
