the show wasn't a cartoon it was just the intro, and I think it was just an internet thing, like talked about games that came out etc. It just had two people, one was a very attractive girl the other was a fat guy so atypical I know xD

so I am sure I saw a clip of this shows opening but I can't seem to find anything on it anymore or my memory is wrong. What I remember is the name of the show was something like mouse or rat and hot girl. I think the sound that went with it was like a techno mario 3 beat. The opening was a cartoon if that helps the girl was a redhead the mouse or rat was dirty looking. There was like a Caramelldanse scene and I guess that's all I remember. Ring a bell for anyone?

@Zach:

First: It's "Napster" not "nabster"

Second: I'd never, ever be a corporate lawyer. Just no, I'm not pro-corporation, I'm pro-law. I don't side with FUNimation because their a corporation, I side with them because they have a property and other people are stealing that property for their own use and to additionally distribute it to others via a torrenting service (which acts peer to peer and thus it is like you're getting a bootleg VHS and distributing it to others as well, at least in part).

Third: Copyright Law doesn't change on the Internet, though I'm sure there's a whole set of policies for Internet usage. I haven't taken Copyright Law, and I've mentioned many, many times that I am speaking from a very limited perspective. However, what you are saying is utterly incoherent. I can't grasp what point you're trying to make, and if I understand it correctly, it's flawed.

The reason I'm pro-FUNimation here is because there are people in that company who will lose their jobs because of the proliferation of fansubs. Many, many hundreds already have: VIZ recently shut down it's NY branch and downsized significantly, ADV shut down, and many other companies no longer exist because of this. I care about people, just not the people who are taking advantage of this situation.

nabster did look wrong I should have taken the 2 second to google it, my bad. As for claiming you are prolaw with no reasoning is what doesn't make sense as it is exactly what I am debating, even if you just accepted it as a given it is not. A more appropriate phrase would be pro justice, which is another matter entirely. You indeed can be pro FUNimation but that doesn't mean pro law or vice versa. My example was I thought fairly clear but I will explain it further, if you have more questions feel free to ask and when you do please try and refrain from loaded language especially against an unconvicted party.

My story of recording a video from the TV was to show a common practice and I pushed the line. What I ask of you, is to tell me at what point in the story a law is being broken. Without the melodrama I will try again. Person Z records One piece movie 6 shown on his local anime channel, he then edits it carefully removing any commercials. Z watches it a few times by himself, he then invites a few friends over to share what he thinks is a great movie. First time he does it he invites his 3 close friends and gives them a copy to watch. As they all liked it so he decides to shows it at his anime club with 30 people and gives them all a copy as well. As they all like it he decides to show it to a massive crowd of 2000 of which he lets them all have a copy as well, just gives it out. He thinks that if all those people liked it there must be others so he puts it on the internet so anyone who wanted could download it from him. So at what point is the law broken? Or did my slope miss the mark again and become unclear?

The point of this, is I get mad when people ignorantly think the law is on someones side just because they think it is just. Just because people will lose their jobs does not mean the law is on their side.

I will end on another question, (which I think you mentioned once or twice on the podcast) If you watch one piece on www.onepieceofficial.com but use an adblocking program, are you just as guilty as someone who watched on a different site?

You touched on it a little but glossed over it in the podcast, focusing instead on other aspects. I realize before this gets under way that I agree people should watch it on the official website, I always do so please leave the red haring issues at the door and remain focused on my point. So Zack if you are in law school you should be able to tell me, why is it illegal? Does it being on the internet change copyright law? Ever sense the nabster rulings there has been precedent in this kind of lawsuit and as it has monied interest behind it they usually succeed but I deny the legal basis of it.Not to get into to much legalize so I will try to use as little latin as possible xD.

Basically you can record a movie off the TV, you can then watch that movie later as many times as you want, with or without commercials entirely within your discretion. You can then lend this video out to a friend or show anyone you want you just can't make money off this. There is nothing in the law that says you actually need to be friends with the person you give the movie to, nor is there a limit on how many people you can give it to. So suddenly because it is over the internet this action becomes illegal? Or are you arguing that this action should have been illegal all along and it simply was never written down, passed, or enforced and now should be.

Going back to the nabster case, the argument was that if this action is allowed to continue it will bankrupt the music industry which you touch on is the argument toy is using, but is that even an argument that should be considered? It would suck yes and everyone deserves such a right but that fact does not change written law, which should be applied blindly. Maybe the law should be changed but to just ignore it because a certain industry might get hurt is indeed disturbing.

Heck your probably still in school and will probably be a better lawyer than I because you are better at ignoring actual law and sucking up to industry, the makings of any good corporate lawyer. For me my principles get in the way, which is never a good thing for lawyers.

So I was listening to 152 today and they still called Big Mam one of the 4 emperors, does that mean that the name is set and won't change regardless of the number or do you think Blackbeard officially became an emperor?

Women being slowly made obsolete, as actual proportions get slowly or not so slowly transformed into grotesque parodies of what women look like or the barbie effect.

has this series always been a bad acid trip or have I just noticed it recently?

well it seems psyren ended. The last 20 chapters or so seemed very rushed but I guess its better to give the fans something than to just cut it off without answering the questions. I loved psyren at one point but alas. So what do you guys think of the ending?

could it be possible that Greg is actually Benny Davis from axis of awesome?

Mario the plumber? you ever see a plunger in his hands?

lol just watched there will be brawl so its funny to see someone call mario a plumber.
