    Download IE Plug or QuickTime (or QuickTime Alternative), or else download the actual sound file used (it's in the link next to "md5").

    I use IE plug myself. It's not perfect, but it beats the hell out of QuickTime.

    No, I meant, I'm not going to download a plugin just to play the audio on a fucking YTMND. In fact, I despise myself for sending packets to that domain.

    I loved it. Only way to win battles is by rap battles.

    Or Street Fighter II.

    Oh wow. Sega's official boards are being raided as of right now. People named "shoe on head" and "NEDM" galore.

    In short, I lolled. It's SoA, so they're attacking the wrong site, but still, it's funny.

    ...You got it wrong. The Sega Saturn was made before the PS3. Sony was goin' SEGA, not the other way around.

    As of such, this is not too odd for Sega to do, seeing as it already tried its best to screw over old customers with new garbage. Sony has recently emulated this approach, but make no mistake: the Saturn bombed, and wrecked them, in a similar way I imagine the PS3 ruining Sony's game console development.

    Oh, um, by the way, this isn't a lawsuit so much as an attempt to show that they are actively enforcing the trademark, which would strengthen their legal ground should there actually be a trademark infringement. Sega of Europe has no intent of following up, nor do they reasonably believe that YTMND would cave to any of its demands (in particular the one about transferring ownership).

    So you YTMND fags can calm down.

    Yeah, because whenever companies try to prevent fair use of their properties, it's really just because you have to do so to keep trademarks. Really.

    You overestimate Sega's ability to make coherent plans. The likeliest story is that they saw a bunch of internet twirps giving them bad face, and hoped to cow them into submission. Happens all the time.

    I think Viacom tried the same with ebaums world. For their celebrity soundclip boards, which are used to make prank calls. It was the biggest potential legal challenge ebaums world faced I believe but they came out in the end. I can't see tymnd being silenced, especially if they got a lawyer on staff.

    Parody laws should stop this garbage by Sega, surely?
