From the article (written by me):

Today, I got an email from Myspace Technical Support:

Hello,

Thank you for contacting MySpace.com Customer Support.

Unfortunately, that option is not available. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Thank you,

Well, first of all, it took me about ten minutes to figure out what the heck they're talking about. Then I remembered that I had sent them a request about a week ago. It was something along the lines of saying that they need to install server-side caching and a couple of extra servers (they do make billions of dollars a year, don't they?) because a page on Myspace was taking me up to 60 seconds and three or four refreshes to load that day.

It's nice to know that that option is not avaliable to them at the moment.

Welcome to the refreshing summer taste of Last.fm! We've updated the entire site with the aim of making it more usable, more social, more featureful, and more friendly. In short? We're laying the groundwork for a whole new generation of Last.fm features.

It's nothing short of awesome.

I'd like to thank those with morals who have contacted me to support Albino Blacksheep and our member Alan Becker the author of Animator vs. Animation. As I reported earlier, Alan's copyright has been violated by another website. Alan allowed three websites in total to post his file including here at ABS, but no other sites beyond the three. As the copyright holder, Alan has full say where his file may and may not be posted according to the Digital Millenium Copyright Act of 1998.

Alan specifically did not allow Mr. Bauman's site to post his file, but Mr. Bauman did so anyways hoping Alan would never even notice. I have spoken to Alan and Alan's father who will take the necessary legal steps against Mr. Bauman. Although it will take some time and money, and I will personally help out anyway I can in this process. I have already donated small funds. I am familiar with Mr. Bauman's documented (il)legal tactics, loopholes and outright lies including his reaction to stealing a file that I worked on, so I will make sure Alan is prepared for that.

It goes without question to regulars here that I have made personal connections with hundreds of animators over the past many years who submit their work here, and I have permission to post every file on this page that is in the Flash format. Alan specifically was smart enough to add MochieBot tracking code that I provided him to the three legitimate copies of his flash file. This is how we have digital proof of the copyright violation, and that the file was decompiled by the actions of Mr Bauman's corporation. As well the tracker serves as proof that this is the site that is the source of the file.

Thanks again for the support. I can't say I am surprised at the amount of people contacting me who have been victims of Mr. Bauman's actions without receiving credit nor giving Mr. Bauman any permission to publish files. If this post concerns you, time to revisit my copyright information article which includes an audio clip of Mr. Bauman's employee stating there are no rules and regulations on the Internet. You wish, Mr. Bauman.

As an aspiring Flash artist myself (who isn't that good), this concerns me greatly. This is partially the reason why I tag all of my Flash cartoons with Mochibot.

This was written on Newsvine, and I don't usually like to seed Newsvine links, but this one needed to be looked at again, in my opinion. It presents some good suggestions for Wikipedia
