   This is a copyright infringement!!
   I, Robotog made this movie, and I didn’t give any bastard permission to syndicate it. Who the hell is Marovich anyway? You are all complete and utter rights grabbing shitbags.

   And another thing. Don’t anybody press play until you’ve paid a repro fee up front. Contrary to popular belief, the internet is not free, and i want my bloody share! )

   Isn’t it just an embedded video from a video sharing site? You probably did agree to syndication through embedding when you signed up for xtranormal.com and posted the video there. If you click on the logo, it takes you to your page, but it certainly isn’t visually obvious, is it?

   EDITORS NOTE:

   We spoke to the author by email this morning after seeing his first comment. We also thought he was complaining about us using it. Below is his reply to our email saying we would take the post down if he wished…..

   “You obviously missed the irony in my comment!
   I should have added a ’smiley’ icon. Of course I don’t want you to remove it and of course I’m not offended. If you want to take the blame for it as its apparent creator, well that’s fine too, because if my clients find out it was me I’ll never work again! I’m happy to remain anonymous as the author, but my alter-ego is now known as Ranting Robotog.”

   We are happy to keep the post with his movie up on The37thFrame with his permission.

   Here’s the fine print Robotog didn’t bother to read when he submitted his “movie” to Xtranormal.com:
