    Possible Fraggle Menu

    Hey Phil! Just wonderin' whether we might be able to see a Fraggle MC Menu in some shape or form. I know we have Red in the Forum Menu, but c'mon...I'm itchin for some Fraggly-menu goodness! I'd do anything for a radish bar! :excited: ...and if not a central menu, at least somewhere on...

    Audition Tapes

    Thanks man for doing my dirty work (LOL)! Yeah, I'm on AIM as 'haaq4671', and I'm also on Yahoo! Messenger as 'adamharwood.' I'm kinda on both services at the same time, but my Yahoo! is usually priority. Either way, I'm pretty much here a lot of the time when I'm not on MC. Thanks! We could...

    Audition Tapes

    That sounds great, Kevin! I'll just go ahead and pick a tripod up then and use my telly downstairs then. Would you recommend a capella for the song, or is this kind of a given? Hmm...just curious. Also, when did you send your tape in and actually get responses? This is cool news to hear because...

    Audition Tapes

    Hey there! I just kinda wanted to know how everyone that has been trying has fared with audition tapes for the JHC. What did you go about doing, and how do you all think your tapes turned out? I personally have a question about filming. Maybe it's just me, but I have the actual mouth-control...

    Dude, I'm about fed up...

    ...oh, and why did you drop off of AIM all of a sudden, Jedi?
  6. PukkaPukka

    Dude, I'm about fed up...

    Yeah, the IMdB boards can be really cruel at times (well, not the boards themselves (LOL) but posters anyway)...and quite a few posts on there deal with who is the first poster and why a particular movie is a stinker (to put it politely) and for what reasons (believe me, most - not all - of...

    Dude, I'm about fed up...

    -- To good-will, I concur!

    The Copyright Act & "Fair Use" Doctrine

    That's good to hear...I know man, I'm just covering my bases here (boards aren't the best place to pull attempts at sarcasm, and I was totally naive to whether mine would be misinterpreted, or others' attempts would be misconstrued by myself.). So yeah, thanks for the nice words, man.

    The Copyright Act & "Fair Use" Doctrine

    Kewlness Luke! I think I might just do that ASAP :) And about contacting Kevin Clash for info, would I just use the standard JHC fashion that's been going around in different contact posts on the board (Performer c/o The Jim Henson Company)? Wow, I'm really excited here guys! And that is...

    The Copyright Act & "Fair Use" Doctrine

    Well, I do kinda see the irony in my last major comment sorta attacking DMX about being assinine to think he knows the law when I pulled it straight from the source...I was, myself, assinine in the way I attacked his comments. I shouldn't have put it quite that way in response. Sarcasm hurts...

    The Copyright Act & "Fair Use" Doctrine

    Cool! Thanks for the information Luke - I appreciate it! I wasn't intending to turn the whole thread nuts, I was just originally trying to get something down in stone from the books on the actual Copyright Act itself. I know we all here support Jim's work and the Company, I really do...no...

    The Copyright Act & "Fair Use" Doctrine

    ...tell that to the 12-year-old the RIAA busted, man...you're right. Go ahead and live a lie, as long as it's an unreported lie. Nice job incriminating yourself and your opinion of the law (as opposed to the FACTS in my earlier posting). I'll say off the record that I know where you're coming...

    Question About Copying Tapes

    ...to DMX "The majority of those copyright laws are bogus and aren't that important...[and] they really aren't laws anymore." Well DMX, to tell you the truth about the LAW (singular) on copyright, pretty much everything Buck said about legality above is correct, and where he's not as...

    Question About Copying Tapes

    Another thing... And yep, I'm aware that the same copy that you buy from Wal-Mart of, using your example, LOTR, for your own private home viewing is not usable in a classroom setting (b/c it was not where its intended viewing was to take place and other conditions), and a copy specifically for...

    Question About Copying Tapes

    Educational Usage "You can't even legally show a copy of "Lord of the Rings" from Wal-Mart to a high school english class (schools have to purchase special copies of movies to legally show them publically)" -- I'll just say read my post on Copyright Law & The "Fair Use" Doctrine on that...

    The Copyright Act & "Fair Use" Doctrine

    Addendum on Trading in Particular I might also add then, that trading is legal, providing it falls within the guidelines in the above post. Trading for purposes of developing material to cyclically run to the copyright owner (audition tapes, for example, from copyrighted A/V footage) is...

    The Copyright Act & "Fair Use" Doctrine

    Hello there everyone! Since it has come up numerous times over the course of the board's history, I thought I might be of some assistance in helping with the little tape-trading quandary we seem to have established. In not-so-simple form, but certainly the best expressed (for law), the Copyright...

    Fraggle Fur Discovery!

    Hello and Happy Holidays everybody! I just wanted to let you all know that, as I was browsing for a Christmas present or two over at Wal-Mart today, I had this repetetive thought of how I could possibly get my hands on some Fraggle-ish fur fabric. Well, now I can say that I have an idea on...

    "All Around the World" Lyrics

    Kewl! Thanks for that, Byron! I appreciate it...I'll go ahead and update the post accordingly. BTW, who investigated? Was it you and a 24 pack of Mountain Dew? (I know I've heard that story before about a puppet builder or someone...maybe it was Gilda related...hmm...that's gonna bug me now!)
