Well, I hijacked that thread….

GearSecond

But the discussion just started getting interesting.

http://apforums.net/showthread.php?t=10789&page=3

thats the link to page 3 where the whole discussion got off track and started.

To be honest I realized the name was the same but didn't think there could be anything more than same names or being related.

Since the last thread got locked(sorry for anyone still interested in talking about how sucky those clips were) I figured it could finish off here, since it really was just getting truely interesting….

Zulen

Heh. Sorry about that. I didn't expect to cover the entire thread with spam.

I might end up downloading the entire show in general.

Watch until the fight. So cheesy…

GearSecond

Well actually I was talking about the discussion we were having about Steve and Zim, which was getting really good.

CosmicDebris

Um, what is the topic of this thread? Please choose one. :P

GearSecond

The steve and zim discussion actually.

If we can get people back on topic the Zelda/cruddy VG shows thread could be reopened or remade.

Cr4zy

Wait, who's Steve Ressel on this forum?

Megadoomer

Is he this guy?

Man, I still miss Zim. The worst thing about the cancellation is that if Nickelodeon had delayed it one day, the episode featuring 'Nubs of Doom' (the origin of Minimoose) and 'Invader Poonchy' (an episode where Zim pretends to be a decoy Invader for the 'real' Invader, Poonchy (the Drinker of Hate) in order to distract Dib) would have been completed and aired.

Here are scripts for both of them.

@Mr.Prince:

The user named "SteveRessel."

Zulen

Would it be bad if I announced to the forum that I torrented every Invader Zim what with Steve Ressel here on the forum?

CosmicDebris

I don't think he'd get mad, he didn't CREATE Zim. He downloads One Piece, after all :P But considering Zim is available to purchase on DVD, I don't see why torrents are necessary. Buy the DVDs!

I just found this site where he explains exactly what his job on the show was if you want to read it http://www.buzzyworld.com/zim/archives/askstevearchives.html

Zulen

Not so sure. Is downloading One Piece illegal, what with it being over in Japan and all? U.S laws don't really apply there…

CosmicDebris

Yes it is illegal. One Piece has a license in the US, but even if it didn't, it's still illegal. It's not really enforced, and that is why we can all do it without much worry, but that doesn't make it legal.

Zulen

Cool, I'm a criminal.

CosmicDebris

We all are Zulen, we all are.

Mr. Death

Also on a side note never get into a flame war with SteveRessuel, you will end up getting burned, I still have scars from where he burned me.

I should so make a mean comment since you set yourself up so nicely, but I'll try and be nice.

Ok, yes we are all criminals and logically could be arrested by the police since, like downloading music, this is against the law to share data that originally we are not purchasing.

Tis about right, yeah.

CosmicDebris

The chances of any of us getting arrested is close to none. More likely one of the fansub groups would receieve a cease and decist letter first, but even that hasn't happened yet.

True, very very true. Of course now that 4KIDS is not showing One Piece. I will not be surprised if 4KIDS decides to try and elinimate all the subbers just because they can.

CosmicDebris

I'd say the opposite. Since they no longer care about One Piece, they will care about fansubbing even less.

I don't think they've ever given a rat's ass about fansubbing in the first place…

Zulen

I don't know about that. I've seen subbed episodes on Youtube removed by 4Kids.

CosmicDebris

They weren't actually removed by 4kids, they were removed by youtube because a third party flagged it and told them it's copyrighted material. The wording used in the removal is just to intimidate people.

GearSecond

ahem

try to stau on topic, we're getitng off the subject. THere was an "is this illegal" thread awhile back, but I think it was on KF, so I dunno. Simply put: if you ever payed for a CD with music on it, for example, in the future you can download it or whatever and it's fine, sicne you bought the rights to own and listen to the music file. THe only problem is proving you bought it, and you arn't allowed to give it to friends.

now replace music with episodes of Anime. If you buy the DVDs from Japan it's perfectly legal to own in on your computer, with subs.

End of story. back on topic, before there's a padlock on this thread.

Haha.

He doesn't care, I can pretty much guarantee you that.

GearSecond

Are we absolutely sure a hollywood producer would be hanging out with us watching One Piece?

if it's true I think I'll wet myself, I am zim's #1 fan!

I wonder if I could get a digital autograph….hmmm....

Cr4zy

I don't really think hes on here anymore.

Strange_One

I'll ask him.

Compare his posts to the "Ask Steve" thing. It's him xD

CosmicDebris

I think he'd laugh at being labeled a "Hollywood producer". XD But yeah, it's him. He left the animation business and producing his own comic. Here's his blog http://steveressel.blogspot.com/
