So... I've got a question...

[AndThePickles]

There was a warning post from Excelsior on Facebook.

 

[Darthphere]

Because you all are too busy having cyber sex in there.

I'm dying right now.t:

 

[SuperFerret]

Copyright infringement. Duh.

And I still haven't gotten my F***ING answer. I know you're reading this Excelsior.

 

[Batman]

Because you all are too busy having cyber sex in there.

WHO TOLD YOU?!

 

[chaseter]

Hypester x 100000

I am too lazy to type it over and over again.

 

[Darthphere]

Yeah he was nice enough to delete the post he made.

 

[SuperFerret]

And the comment I made about just how stupid it all was.

 

[chaseter]

WHO TOLD YOU?!

WHO TOLD YOU?!

It's the Internet. No lives are private!

 

[AndThePickles]

I'm not quite sure what all the fuss is about...I don't mind being a hampster. Even though hamster is spelled without a "p" if we're gonna be the rodents now.

This one is Spoons:

This one is me:

This one is Aesop:

This one is Dathphee:

 

[SuperFerret]

I don't wanna be a hamster.

 

[AndThePickles]

You can be the quirky ferret who came to crash the party.

 

[Alex The Great]

What am I, a beaver?

 

[chaseter]

I am pretty sure someone trademarked the term Excelsior! Hell, Stan Lee has been using it for year. SUE!

 

[C. Lee]

Any one ever watch the movie NEVER CRY WOLF......I see breakfast, lunch, dinner, and an evening snack.

 

[Colossal Spoons]

Now C.Lee wants to eat us!

 

[enterthemadness]

I refuse to believe silly words can be copyrighted, like Droid or Drones by George Lucas (Alien Ant Farm is gonna get their ass sued for using ''Drone'' to describe their fan army)

 

[Shemtov]

OMG. I am tired of people threatening to sue for COPYRIGHT VIOLATION for EVERYTHING even if it's clearly legal. I mean, Youtube purged 'the Bunker' Hitler parodies simply because they were threatened. THAT'S PROTECTED UNDER YE PARODY CLAUSE!!!!! Then, Tommy Wiseau told ye Nostalgia critic to take down his Room reveiw or he'll sue. THAT'S PROTECTED UNDER YE PARODY CLAUSE!!!!! Now this. NOBODY'S MAKING A RED CENT OF THE PAGE EXCEPT MAYBE FACEBOOK, AND SO THEY SHOULD BE THE ONES THREATENED, BUT THERE IS YE FACT THAT IT MAY BE PROTECTED UNDER FAIR USE!!!!!!!!
People who run ye Hypester's Facebook Fanpage, please STAND UP against Copyright Nazism. Sure, getting sued does mean that you lose precious time and money, but a. you'll probably win, and b. it's worth it to stop copyright Nazism. Take a stand against ye Tommy Wiseaus of ye world and we'll no longer leave in fear of Copyright Nazism.

It's clearly a Crave issue. We know nothing about it. I'll be honest... are we actually discussing the legal (like actual legal legal) copywriting of the word, "Hypester"? Really? That's how honest I'm being... that I'm questioning something so insane. I'm not a fan on Facebook, so, I don't know if this is a joke, but, uh, really?

And forgive me, Crave Network, for my lack of professionalism (maybe I'll forgive you for your lack of paycheck ) but this is kind of ridiculous.

"Our superhero forum has fans that love it so much they want to love it on Facebook! Let's threaten to sue them!"

That's where it gets ridiculous.

 

[Colossal Spoons]

I don't remember the original warning but I'm almost positive it didn't involve lawsuits. Just the group getting shut down.

I didn't know Excelsior owned Facebook as well. Man, and they say they can't afford new servers.

 

[SuperFerret]

Yeah, I don't know where lawsuits came into play.

AND I STILL HAVEN'T GOTTEN MY GODDAMN ANSWER.

Shows just what caliber of person you are.

 

[Colossal Spoons]

We should cannibalize the Comingsoon servers like Megatron underwater in TF2

Hypesters


Oh and there was no issue with it a year ago. (remember read from the bottom up). Spoons renamed it 'Hypesters' after originally naming it 'SuperHeroHype' (there was no SHH official FB page at the time), which is understandably a copyright issue he amended with a name change with no argument.

It would be nice to know why a name that was approved last year for a fan group on Facebook is now suddenly an issue.
