    Friendship is Card Games: Trixie and the Razzle-Dazzle Ruse

    We return to the pony novels this week, and hopefully a better showing from the titular mare. Last time we saw Trixie in one of these, G. M. Berrow was channeling the fandom circa 2011 and making her and Gilda the designated antagonists of the piece. Let’s see what she’s up to this time.

    Friendship is Card Games: Kenbucky Roller Derby #2 & #3

    No, not mine. The Barcast's. The last call is currently under way, and if you want to hear my part in the grand interview lightning round, you can tune in at 4:20 Eastern/1:20 Pacific (about an hour from this posting.)

    Yes, 4:20 on 4/20. No, I do not partake. Sorry to disappoint. :derpytongue2:

    Pest List

    Just something I whipped together for fun one day, set to a possibly recognizable tune, all intended in good fun. And hey, given that I derived my Fimfic handle from a misremembered detail of the Mikado, it's only appropriate. :derpytongue2:

That was, indeed, swift.

Really!? YouTube Customer Service actually listened!?

I remember back when Google had a motto of "don't be evil." I miss those days.

Woohoo!

If enough people make a fuss, they listen :ajbemused: The system, it is so wonderfully functional.

something tells me they were probably evil then, too :C

Not really. Someone at a slightly higher level just saw what was happening and flipped a switch not because it was right, but because it was easier.


If they were doing what was right, they would have decided that four copyright claims coming in at once was suspicious, and would have investigated to ask specifically what the infringing material was so they could determine if any infringement actually took place, and we wouldn't be here right now.

What they actually did — just assuming that whoever put the claim in has a legitimate grievance in spite of the fact that it is known that the majority of claims are either illegitimate or are at least malicious — damages IP protections by obfuscating who the actual copyright holder is and making it more difficult to take appropriate legal action.

But hey, it prevents Google from "wasting money," so it's all good in the end, right?
