Google Video sells South Park episodes. Does it not make sense since Google own Youtube?

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Well google is a profit based company but 'Stupid' is one thing they aren't.
The copyright stuff is to avoid getting sued for leniance, people tend to hunt for lawsuit cash much more when there're big, rich corporations involved. Google is just trying to stay "in the safe".
They still suck for south park, tho.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Not sure how official this statement is, but at least the creators don't care about all this copyright mumbo jumbo: http://www.southparkstudios.com/show...32&search_faq=

Q. - I was surprised that in the last FAQ you recommended downloading episodes on KaZaa and other file sharers. What are Matt and Trey's official stances on South Park episode piracy?

A. - Matt and Trey do not mind when fans download their episodes off the Internet; they feel that it’s good when people watch the show no matter how they do it.

I couldn't agree more. They're not worried about buying another solid gold Humvee, just getting their message out.

What message? That they probably get off on their own hilarity?

They encourage (or at least don't care about) illegal downloads since it helps build their fanbase. South Park is on cable, they reach a smaller audience so the internet helps broaden it. And the hope is eventually this audience will support them by buying their DVDs or something, which brings the profit margain back around.

But that's not to say the company who owns Comedy Central or South Park don't care about copyright infringement, they're the ones who make these calls, not the creative team, ie: Trey and Matt. Although if this ends up a big thing, they'll probably parody themselves on their own show.

I was speaking idiomatically.

www.allsp.com has every south park episode and they justify how its legal.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

just how many south park clips were there on youtube, I get over 6000 results when I do a search :/

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

that's probably a combination of south park amvs, fanart slideshows, clips from episodes they like and my personal favorite south park audio used on other cartoons... >.>

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Oh, South Park was on Youtube. Well the boxsets were also out for a quite a while, so I figure it would only be matter of time after the silly acquisition. As long as they don't take down the Daria episodes (no boxset or availability!), then I'm ecstatic.

Videos on Youtube have been randomly disappearing beforehand though. Try finding any good old JRock like the treasure trove of Go! Go! 7188 or Shiina Ringo that was there last year. All GONE.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

This is ridiculous, Youtube is beginning to suck. I mean, it is possible to watch stuff like Jon Stewart and High Stakes Poker on Youtube and they are making a fuss about South Park. Whatever, I guess.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
