YouTube Content Theft Protection. + MORE

Posted by RubberNinja May. 27, 2008 @ 12:41 AM EDT

Formal PM to Tomius Fulpus:
Greetings Tom Fulp,

Recently myself and some fellow flash animators were discussing viable solutions to prevent our content being stolen and posted on YouTube.

After much discussion, we came up with the perfect solution.

We need to put a spinning flaccid penis in the top left corner of every Newgrounds animation. This way the animated content will not be able to bi-pass the YouTube terms and conditions and they will be forced to remove our content.

I believe this would work better then "water marking" work, as this would leave a more lasting impression on the viewer.

I also believe that this would be true to our standard Newgrounds humour and would appeal to our general audience.

So if you could possibly get Johnny Utah or Stamper working on this FLA for distribution that would be very helpful.

Thanks in advance,

-Ross

Response:
Ahaha I'll pass that along and see what they come up with. :)

I think we can see this being implemented soon. Thoughts, anyone?

UNRELATED STUFF:
Anyway, here's some highlight clips I recorded of the final GT airing.. ON AN ACTUAL TV SCREEN. (A friend asked me to record it!)

.

Then the following week the other Good Game segment "A Cartridge Affair" made a "mild reference to Gamer Tonight"... Which made me grin.

.

Also, I'm kinda home sick these past 2 days with a nasty cold. I have a mountain of used tissues next to my keyboard.

I also keep doing that annoying thing where you made a retarded face because you think you're about to sneeze but you don't sneeze and you're just all "aaaaaw one moment one moment I think-- I think-- no.. wait.. no nothing".

AW MAN I HATE THAT SHIT.

Also stop asking me about "WE HATE IT WHEN NEXT GEN", it was a joke. I'm surprised any of your actually took that seriously. Myself and Joe started it when he was living with me for a while.

Also I bought a new webcam off Ebay for $17 and it has lights and everything. So flashy like.

isn't thar a thing that u can use to take copied submissions off.... egoraptor used it....

May. 27, 2008 | 12:55 AM RubberNinja responds:

Yeah but it requires a fax machine.

Who the fuck has a fax machine!?


May. 27, 2008 | 12:46 AM mexifry895 says:

I want to actually show my parents my content on NG, so if you guys were really serious (which I doubt) then that is a horrible idea. :p
Cool That you got a recording of your show on tv.

May. 27, 2008 | 12:55 AM RubberNinja responds:

Well if a penis is a problem we could use bouncing titties.


May. 27, 2008 | 12:50 AM Blordow says:

spinning cocks would be genius


May. 27, 2008 | 12:54 AM HolyPeanuts says:

I will totally use that placid penis thing when I get a submission out.


May. 27, 2008 | 12:57 AM WolfBlitz2 says:

good thinking but there will be problems with the rating thing wouldn't it?


May. 27, 2008 | 12:59 AM SamIam says:

So you want to implement "Cock-Marking". Although this will then Newgrounds will be coined the Cock Capital of the World. You wouldn't want that now? Also I do think Stamper would be perfect for the job lol.


May. 27, 2008 | 1:00 AM SamIam says:

Wow bad English...
Although this will then coin Newgrounds the Cock Capital of the World.


May. 27, 2008 | 1:02 AM SonicFoxStrk says:

yar avast ye matey!!!
anywho...


May. 27, 2008 | 1:05 AM greamer22 says:

i dont think you should use a penis mabye just the newgrounds tank or steve

May. 27, 2008 | 1:10 AM RubberNinja responds:

Wouldn't work.


May. 27, 2008 | 1:05 AM LordZeebmork says:

Use Meatspin.

May. 27, 2008 | 1:12 AM RubberNinja responds:

Would work.


May. 27, 2008 | 1:06 AM greamer22 says:

a selection of what graphic or animation for it would be nice

May. 27, 2008 | 1:12 AM RubberNinja responds:

Dicks
Tits
Vag
Money Shot
Shitting Anus

Anything of a vile nature that would have the content removed from YouTube, would work fine.

May. 27, 2008 | 1:21 AM squeakytoad says:

But what about those of us who are straight? :(

May. 27, 2008 | 5:07 AM RubberNinja responds:

Don't be silly, everyone on Newgrounds is gay.


May. 27, 2008 | 1:25 AM MRat says:

clearly you misunderstand your surroundings squeaky.

pfffft "straight"


May. 27, 2008 | 1:26 AM Devex says:

HOLY CRAP IS THAT AN ACTUAL TV SCREEN?!


May. 27, 2008 | 1:26 AM TheUnknownEntity says:

The only downside to the spinning penis / other "inappropriate" sign would be that all videos would most likely be instantly "uped" to a mature rating.... but I assume most viewers don't care about that. Maybe a "Fuck you Youtube!" type logo would work.


May. 27, 2008 | 1:28 AM Devex says:

Or just a scrolling text thing on the lower right hand corner with extremely hateful remarks and such.


May. 27, 2008 | 2:25 AM MiddleFingerRings says:

I believe there should be a choice between cock, tits, twat etc. BE SENSIBLE, MAN!


May. 27, 2008 | 2:37 AM KupaMan says:

The penis watermarking is a pretty smart idea. I might have to incorporate that in my future animations.

Just kidding. As if I still make cartoons.

May. 27, 2008 | 5:08 AM RubberNinja responds:

Oh wow, you had me there for a second!


May. 27, 2008 | 2:39 AM Black-Rend says:

Well done, your movies are hilarious!
YouTube annoyies me!


May. 27, 2008 | 2:52 AM PolishMatt says:

Stamper would just over exaggerate it and make the most graphic set of genitals ever conceived in Flash. The site would just become one big joke and nothing from it would ever get serious attention or respect. I agree with one of the guys above, a Tank would be more then enough, because the whole point is to just have a mark representing the origins of the content, not your sex preference (And there is something very wrong with being gay, not lesbian though). So don't fill Stamper and the whole Newgrounds team with these sort of ideas (They will most likely just agree), because having this site fail to a miserable pit of failure is something I don't want to see in my life time or ever for that matter. And now for the immature response back to this.


May. 27, 2008 | 3:41 AM marius-vanrhijn says:

But we will no longer have content appropriate to all ages. So newgrounds would loose 90% of it´s visitors. (plus i don't wanna see Betty get turned on)
Total lol idea though. How about random flashes on screen of a huge pic containing disgusting content...what about goatse!!


May. 27, 2008 | 4:18 AM FrozenFire says:

I love the idea, but I would rather it say "Youtube Sucks" or something of that nature
That way we can at least make people realize that Youtube was not meant to have this video, without the ratings changing b/c of Mature Content.


May. 27, 2008 | 4:36 AM BetaOrionis says:

Okay, here we go.

I say we to spam the fuck out of youtube with grossly inappropriate videos of animated child pornography, bestiality, and grotesquely racism submissions, all with tags like Spongebob, Unicorns, or other really child-mongering tags. Upload using school computers or libraries only. The sudden storm of what I will call "Malicious Spam" will create incredible amounts of negative PR for youtube, and will cause a lot of parents to block the site from their kids. Knowing our media (US) as well as I do, there will be a media frenzy, which will only increase the problem, hopefully even attract copycats. In addition to hurting youtube, this will force youtube to monitor submissions more carefully, which will hopefully prevent our work from being stolen. This will only be effective if a large number of people participate. Henceforth this will be referred to as Project TubeRape. It'll be awesome.


May. 27, 2008 | 5:15 AM Alienslushie says:

You could film my penis and use that.


May. 27, 2008 | 5:36 AM eliteman24 says:

what about ballz? those could be put onscreen to, right?


May. 27, 2008 | 6:01 AM ClaudStrofe says:

Balls and cocks.. sounds like a plan


May. 27, 2008 | 6:04 AM LazyMuffin says:

I'm not sure, but is the picture of black Luigi by Tim Frommeyer?
Not sure where I recognize it from.

GOOD JOB ON HAVING FLASH ANIMATING AS A JOB. GOOD.

May. 27, 2008 | 7:28 AM RubberNinja responds:

Actually the black Luigi was something from the pilot episode of Gamer Tonight.


May. 27, 2008 | 6:06 AM jtm17 says:

Simple....
They Should Have Orgasm Sounds...REALLY LOUD Then Like Penis EVERYWHERE
With Tits...
Also Farting Noises is a Plus

So Yeah TAKE EETTT....

May. 27, 2008 | 7:45 AM RubberNinja responds:

You know of teh TAKE EETT?

I'm impressed.


May. 27, 2008 | 6:55 AM paddy-ryan says:

"We need to put a spinning flaccid penis in the top left corner of every Newgrounds animation."

I did that on one of my last flashes, it hasn't turned up on youtube yet


May. 27, 2008 | 7:57 AM blaalb says:

you know.. they could easly cut the part with the penis.. anyway.. good idea.. although no one would want to steal my submisions i would gladly put it in my flash just for laughs..


May. 27, 2008 | 8:03 AM rilstix says:

I've just picked up the sniffily-bitch cold symptoms too. FUCK!! WHERE THE FUCK ARE THE TISSUES?

May. 27, 2008 | 9:11 AM RubberNinja responds:

It's just that time of year for us, I guess.


May. 27, 2008 | 9:18 AM chris-the-stick2 says:

i dont like the penis idea. :O

i want my flashes penis-free.

FREEI TELL you.

ALSO MAN IM HAVIN' LAME MOVIES

May. 27, 2008 | 9:35 AM RubberNinja responds:

Tits then?


May. 27, 2008 | 10:11 AM JonBro says:

...If I had to put a cock at the top of every movie I made on Newgrounds, I wouldn't care whether my movies were stolen or not. That is a horrible idea XD

And before you say it, I won't use tits either, haha.


May. 27, 2008 | 10:55 AM KingKombat says:

tonight i'm going to... eat your BRAINS!
(just to get more creativity :DDD)


May. 27, 2008 | 11:24 AM Taereth says:

You spin me right round baby, right round,
Like a record baby, right round, round, round,
You spin me right round baby, right round,
Like a record baby, right round, round, round


May. 27, 2008 | 3:44 PM Lekkimsm2500 says:

Viva lé own action!

... Most likely, wouldn't stuff just get flagged 18+ ?


May. 27, 2008 | 3:48 PM BlackHazeDCK says:

I only agree to this idea if Internet and world famous people are mounted on the penises and riding them like buckin' broncos.


May. 27, 2008 | 3:54 PM boundless says:

I have a mountain of used tissues next to my keyboard too, but for a different reason.


May. 27, 2008 | 3:58 PM Blahguy says:

Suggesting anything other than a rotating flaccid penis is near treasonous to Newgrounds. Real men aren't afraid to have one flopping around on them...their flash I mean.


May. 27, 2008 | 5:06 PM malefic-puppy says:

After reading your post and the comment, here is what I think:

I love you. :3


May. 27, 2008 | 5:22 PM 54uR0n says:

that would work until you realize that people would just crop it out or put a black square over it


May. 27, 2008 | 5:59 PM Wiiporter says:

The penis would need to be incredibly big. Lots of stuff gets by the Youtube police.


May. 27, 2008 | 6:22 PM Theo-art says:

How about...
A little tankman in the corner that screams "I'M WATCHING GAY PORN, I'M WATCHING GAY PORN", voiced by Jeff himself.

Yeah.


May. 27, 2008 | 7:25 PM jamesyboyy says:

i think you guys should have a penis that pops up in the corner on the flash once every few seconds. that way if some one copys it they have to cut some of the flash out. think a regular penis thats there 24/7 might take the funny out of penis jokes


May. 27, 2008 | 8:04 PM WAaAzZAaA says:

haha penis on a corner..

mayba, depending on the submissions SCORE, the penis would be erect or flacid, you know erected means high score, flacid low...

My god! i felt gay writting dat...


May. 27, 2008 | 8:05 PM The-Yokai says:

Hmm...frankly, though I'm sure many hardcore Newgrounders (Including Stamper and Johnny Utah of course) would leap slavering at that particular method of protection, I have to say it just might degrade the overall quality of NG submissions...
Just think, a NG noob watching the YuYu or something similarly amazing for the first time and being constantly distracted by the random dick flailing around in the corner of the screen...
so I'd have to say...NO.

(I'm fully aware it was a joke...I hope O_o)


May. 27, 2008 | 8:06 PM The-Yokai says:

Plus, I'd most certainly prefer all of my movies prick-free.


May. 28, 2008 | 12:33 AM Luis says:

does squeakytoad actually do anything other than talk shit on peoples userpages?

prolly not.

</diss>

May. 28, 2008 | 4:29 AM RubberNinja responds:

PROLLY.


May. 28, 2008 | 8:06 AM bobjimmy says:

A penis?

simple effective, and cool, how bout you also put on the penis "suck it youtube"?

not only people who would try and steal it have their stolen shit removed, they'd probably be banned from youtube (seriously i diss them once and damn i was banned so god damn fast i laughed my ass off the stairs when i was walking).


May. 28, 2008 | 11:40 AM Sentinel94 says:

On Gamer Tonight, Giant Flacid Penises have taken over popular website, Newgrounds. We're being told that SOME characters don't have a problem with it. *Cough*Tankmen*cough*. I'm Richard Fargus (lol, Fargus apparently, not Farkus or...however..), signing off.

May. 28, 2008 | 12:41 PM RubberNinja responds:

Yeah, they say Fargus now because I think the realized how silly the name sounds.


May. 28, 2008 | 6:42 PM zerosub0 says:

meatspin. I hear that alot from a guy not that its uesful anyway


May. 28, 2008 | 6:59 PM P0wer-W1thin says:

Couldn't ppl blur that piece out? Have u looked at possible ways anyone can edit that idea out? Via blur effects on Moviemaker etc, etc!


May. 29, 2008 | 5:58 AM Dools says:

Hey Ross, you make Gamer Tonight... but who makes A Cartridge Affair for Good Game? Hmm...

Also dude check ma new post bra, I am running a comp and we need votes to decide a winner for the comp... what kind of comp? You'll see.

May. 29, 2008 | 8:08 AM RubberNinja responds:

Two other guys make ACA.. Ben and Rob. They don't have a website from memory, but they do post their stuff on YouTube. They originally worked for Triple J TV.


May. 29, 2008 | 9:28 AM jakobhummelen says:

Ah right.. this is what you do:

When you almost have to sneeze, look in a bright light, it helps you sneeze :)

And also.. for your nose: get some luke warm water, dunk a bunch of salt in the water and snort it.. It sure ain't pretty or very comfortable, but it really clears up your nose.. (Salt kills the bacteria)

Good luck with that ;)

May. 29, 2008 | 1:43 PM RubberNinja responds:

You just want me to burn my nose!! I'm onto you.
