Re: candyman

We're no longer allowed to host videos, so we don't have it here. I believe that was from a season 1 episode though, so you should be able to find it on the season 1 DVDs. :)

Correction, Sam, it was season 2 - New Neighbors. I would know, being the fan I am, but it's season 2. Many pardons if I offend you.

Thanks, Mike; not offended at all. After I wrote that, I actually started second-guessing myself. :D

We can't host them because they are copyrighted by Fox and hosting something that is not your property is illegal; Fox could sue the Voting Community, if they wanted to. We used to host some episodes, but we were asked to remove them and no longer have them here. Sorry.

I'm confused how that would be a problem hosting small timed frames of clips espically as all clips would have the Fox logo at the bottom right... :confused:

Unless you were selling the clips off it's not illegal.

Finally this message board has a disclimer saying something like "Admin and owners are not responsible for posters content" when you sign up every member has to agree to it, how could the Community be sued? :confused:


I'm not trying to pick a fight... honest :p but I personally feel it's better to question things if you dont fully understand something. Many unoffical sites host mass media files... so I basically dont get why they can do it if "we" cant.

I don't know about clips, but hosting entire episodes is definitely illegal. As yardgames said, they MITMVC was told to remove them when they did host them. And even though the forum has a disclaimer, the owner still has a responsiblity to to monitor all content on the boards and remove anything that is known to be illegal/inappropriate, hence the reason for moderators. ;)

About the clips--Even thought the MITMVC wouldn't be making any money off them, it can't really be considered personal use if they are hosted on a public forum where people can view and download them. Even if it is okay, it's better to be safe than sorry and just not host anything that might be considered a copyright violation.

Just another reason why Fox NEEDS to get the season two dvd set of Malcolm out on store shelves! Here's a sample letter we can write to Fox:

Dear FOX Executives,
Let me spell this: R-E-L-E-A-S-E S-E-A-S-O-N T-W-O O-F M-A-L-C-O-L-M N-O-W!!!!
Thank you,
Sign name :D

Plus, some of my favorite episodes are on season two. And the Candyman routine is my all time favorite Francis moment in the entire show!

Your a little wrong there. MITMVC was never threaten with legal action and/or told to remove copyrighted files. They where removed of choice due to increasing cases of prosections in US about cpopyrighted Music, this was way before any threats where made againt tv/movie piracy. Small Clips from shows generally do not bother authorities, full episode yes, but clips no.

As it happens you will find Candy man clip on YouTube which is currently working with FOX, i know from personal experiance (and facts) I put the family guy MITM and they ask me to remove it. So they obviously havent decided to remove this so obviously it cool. Also its on YouTube so its saves our bandwidth.

Oh, I see. I wasn't here when they hosted the episodes, or when they removed them so I wasn't exactly sure of the circumstances. I just know they were taken town for when downloading episodes was ruled illegal.
