Here is its eulogy, a collection of the kind words written about it while still among the living. They shall live on forever in its place.

Nothing special in the animation department and I know this video is more suited on youtube, but I thought I'd upload to Newgrounds as well as I know this is also a big thing that happens to a lot of great animators and artists.

Hopefully sharing my thoughts will bring a little more awareness, thank you for watching :)

Reviews

An excellent in depth look at a serious epidemic,Artfully animated to engage and educate the viewer while being very funny in the process .

Thank you very much for the kind feedback :D

The real issue is that the people stealing the videos are doing it to make their own money from them. It would be like pirating movies games or music and charging people to download them only when that happens people who do it go to jail. So there is simply no punishment for the people stealing work from content creators because most of them cannot afford to pursue it legally like a like a major brand could.

<deleted> responds:

Yeah exactly! too true.

Good animation, but the topic makes me sad. People stealing credit for your own creation is beyond aggravating. I don't know what it's like for a video to be freebooted, but I have had technical plans and ideas stolen from me and subsequently patented before, and it's not a path to happiness, that's for certain.

<deleted> responds:

Thanks!

And that really sucks dude :(

I knew about this happening on Youtube because people have been stealing my videos for years, but didn't know it was happening on Facebook, so thanks. :-)

<deleted> responds:

No probs :)

Facebook is starting to put effort into it's video platform, and even starting to allow certain pages to make money off the videos they post. So hopefully we can prevent freebooting on there before people start making money off others work.

Thanks for watching :)

I did not know this was such a big problem. Thank you for the informative animation. Also, I always use the "share" button. Just as I always allow ads on Newgrounds. I like to support the artists that entertain me so well. It is my small "thank you."

<deleted> responds:

No worries :D

And to speak for a lot of people, we're super grateful that people do support their artists <3

Thanks!
