True but still it is used for parody it is protected. An example of this would be tv shows again I mention Saturday night live just because it's the most known, They can use clips of movies (like mtv's music awards but I'm not sure if mtv get's rights) to do parody sketches or weird al using actual footage of interviews for his old mock interviews.

Still protected by law and still allowed. So removing based on those grounds is still wrong.

It's something that eventually would have to go to court to decide; whether or not using ten minutes of footage constituted "fair use" and/or "parody".

Team Four Star would be within their legal rights to assert that their creation is a parody, but Youtube doesn't give a shit; Youtube's not going to risk it.

Well, the first episode of this is still my favorite, but I liked Kuririn and Piccolo's parts in this one. :3

Also, way to make Mr. Popo seem creepy.

The same thing happened awhile ago with littlekuriboh and his yu-gi-oh the abridged series been attacked much in the same way by 4kids on youtube. It annoyed me as I'll say this, By doing it youtube has pretty much taken away the rights of the people who did it because the people who make it are protected by law.

Youtube makes the rules because they own and operate the site. Sadly, it's a dictatorship run by them.

Just caught episode three. All the cuts between scenes really made this episode: cutting off Roshi's swear at the beginning, cutting in the middle of Gohan's crying, Kuririn's flashback with Chichi, the cut to Mr. Popo... all awesome. I really liked the bit about Enma not "keeping his eye on the birdie"

. Explaining Nappa and Vegeta's arrival was also pretty clever, considering that that bit was re-written in the previous episodes. A shorter episode than normal, but still pretty good.

I'm guessing the next episode will cover all the training of the "Z Warriors" (I personally think Kuririn could have gotten away with rambling about the term for a while longer, but it was still pretty good) and at the least getting to when Nappa and Vegeta are about to arrive. While a good chunk of that training filler could be taken out, I'm sure Team Four Star has something planned with Vegeta's red hair while in space.

EDIT: Good job with Chichi's voice. She sounds like a stereotypical house wife... who just happens to be good with a rusty carving knife

.

Very good episode TeamFourStar, I love the off-beat portrayal of Piccolo!

Awww, I wanna do a voice or two on these.

I'm WeeklyTubeShow on YouTube. I stopped making dubs because people are going to expect me to make dick jokes again.

Your Piccolo voice is really funny. I loved your "Batdickery" episode of super friends.

I like your new avatar TeamFourStar. Have you guys had any luck in getting permission to re-upload episode 1?

There's a deleted scene up in which Piccolo asks himself how his dad would stop Gohan from crying.

Good editing TFS, Piccolo's closed eyes looked pretty real.

Hey I was just looking through my subscriptions on youtube and I noticed that my subscription to TeamFourStar had been blocked. If someone from the crew could explain this to me I'd appreciate it because I've never left a nasty comment or anything like that so I think it was a mistake that I got blocked. I have nothing but respect for the great work you guys are putting together and I don't know why I got blocked. My account is Bigbird3443 and I'd appreciate that you unblock me, or if you don't unblock me then at least give me an explanation as to why I got blocked because I'm confused on this whole situation.

Omg, that episode was really funny. I really liked the part where Piccolo threw Gohan at the mountain. Never knew that was going to happen.

We're not sure how it happened, honestly. You've been unblocked, though!

Again, we don't know what happened.

Eh, Youtube's kind of screwy like that. I keep getting subscribed to things I've never heard of.

Anyway - good stuff, keep up the great work. ("Da-ha-ha-ha-ha-ddy")

I didn't really like this episode, the jokes were just a little weak this time around.

You also cut the best joke with Piccolo.

And for some reason, hearing Tien instead of Tenshinhan bothered me.

Sorry to hear you feel that way, but the Piccolo joke just wasn't working with the episode. As well, we'd like you to try and watch the episode again, keeping in mind it's one big setup episode.

And don't worry, we still plan on calling him Tenshinhan. We just use the American version when we need to keep the lines flowing, where it sounds more natural.

Though, if you hate Tien, you're probably not going to like us calling Mr. Satan "Hercule Satan."
