The Real, Original DNC Bunker Vid

...as opposed to the slightly "rewritten" version that's making the rounds on YouTube with someone else's logo on it.

In fairness, the other guy says he didn't know I would have a problem because I linked his video and didn't object. That's true-- I did link it and didn't object. But then, I didn't watch it, either. I just assumed he was doing his own thing and doing his own parody. I imagined he'd have had the same basic plot, but I didn't know he'd be lifting gags from DiT.

His intention, he says, was to "improve" and "complete" the video. Fine. I don't think he intended to steal it. He did give credit on his blog. Everyone should know that -- he did give credit on his blog. So it's not like he attempted theft.

He also sent it to me. Had I watched it, I could have alerted him I thought he was stealing without credit. But I didn't. That's my bad.

Still, if the video wasn't completely his, he owed a credit on the video itself, which is what many people wind up seeing.

Devil's Advocate is upset by this and says he meant no harm. I believe him. I'm just pissed off, but I accept his apology and his statement that he didn't mean to do wrong.
