A long  but interesting post on the taking down of a fan based video which also happens to be one that I like a lot as well.

Produced by Adarahs, Ultimate Utopia is a fan parody of Final Fantasy (and I’m a BIG FAN of Final Fantasy) if you didn’t already know that.

The main point made is that this is not about copyright at all, otherwise why take down a Final Fantasy based parody, not related to Viacom at all but instead that it is “old media” trying to hurt the whole user generated content business and using copyright as a kind of excuse.

The Video is available still on a variety of places, including here and here.

Viacom should try that in China…I don’t think they will get very far!
