On the basis of Outfield's post, I'm going over to donate if the link is ever back up. Suck it up. That makes sense to an embarrassed sixteen year old.

By that thinking, if I forget my backpack on the bus, its entire contents are not only free for the taking, but they can be distributed all over the net. Nonsense.

False analogy. Outfield nailed it - He recorded himself on a SCHOOL tape in SCHOOL gear @ SCHOOL. He doesn't own squat in this.

If I make an ass of myself in the school play, seen live by hundreds of students and parents, and then a few weeks later my 'friends' take the video of the school's play and make a loop of my bufoonery for the net to see, can I sue then too?

Your backpack contains your personal property (maybe with some state issued textbooks in it) that is totally different.

Ernie, you're saying if a student writes a short story on a school supplied sheet of paper, with a school owned pencil, while at school, he doesn't own the copyright to the story?

psyork:

Embarassed? Let's see...the majority of people who've seen the video are nerds (you say geek, but I say nerd) themselves (including me), who can identify with Ghyslain. Those people are praising him, and scrounging up money to buy him some fancy gadgets. How can he be embarassed about that?

It could've been much worse for him. Suck it up? That's right. By publicly considering a lawsuit, he's eroding whatever support everyone had for him. And the clock is reading 14:59.

I don't know about you, but none of the schools I went to ever supplied pens or pencils to me at no cost, unless it was for a drafting class. The only paper ever supplied to me was in the form of mimeographed tests and assignments. Of course, this was 20 years ago, so things may have changed in the paper department.

You don't think it's possible that the lawyers for the kid contacted Jish's hosts and that they've shut him down do you?

WJPOConnor: Never borrowed a pen or pencil from the teacher, when you forgot one? Never were given a "blue books" of blank paper for tests?

And were your drafting drawings not copyright by you, then, even though you used school supplies on school property?

cypherpunks: If there was ever a person worthy of the "Grasping for Straws" award, it would be you. Quick, someone make a trophy and ship it to this guy. :)

I got video-taped at a whorehouse once. Showed it to my mom.

so does anyone know if star wars kid sued for sure? and if so, why? he could make some serious money if he'd be a better sport about it...suing just makes him look like an angry punk.

I don't know if the Star Wars Kid sued or not. But I am sure I wont sue on my own video. You have to watch. It is based on the Star Wars Kid and it is hillarious. Make me "the Corona Man". Go to www.donfilemon.com to watch it.
