We’re incorporating feedback we’ve received from our viewers about the new shows and the new format and retooling a couple of things. We will have the show back on schedule early next week.

reckon it’s had it’s day..move on …time to create something new

Todd, from the comments you made it sounds like you were at the relaunch meetup/party. That was a positive and professional gathering, so I’m surprised to read such bashing. And what’s with the political labels? Not everything in life is “liberal vs. conservative”. Just calling Epic Fu a liberal show or progressive show misses the point…

How about “Listening Comprehension”?

At this rate I’m frankly amazed you were even able to find the internet in the first place. Thank God “stupid” isn’t contagious, we’d have the makings of an epidemic above.

Thank you for your input. I would like to address some key issues:

1. We don’t ban people from our community site if they do not agree with us. We ban them if they are being racist, homophobic, sexist, spamming our members, or if we receive notice from our community members regarding disruption. We welcome healthy debate.

2. As Steve mentioned, when asked advice about making a show for tweens, I recommended that the producer use tween talent. Sorry if that was not clear to you.

3. We have never recommended stealing content. Any fan of Epic Fu knows that we support artists and their right to make a living from the work they produce. The “Your Copyright Can Kiss my A$$” episode is about the current state of copyright law, and how big studios need to think outside of the box and find innovative ways to adapt to the changing landscape. Content on the web is fluid and free-traveling, but it doesn’t mean people won’t pay for quality content if you make it easy for them to do so. There are many people who do want to support their favorite artist or program.

Thanks again Todd. No hard feelings at all. :)

Speaking of trolls, I’m not going to feed you much. Just want to set the record straight in case anyone comes across this and thinks you might actually have a clue about what we represent.

The episode you saw, presumably the one about copyright, was not saying it is ok to steal anyone’s anything. Our point, had you actually listened to the words being spoken, was that the studios have been so slothlike to adapt to new business models that they are missing huge opportunities, and as a result, people are finding other ways to get the things they would pay for if there was an easy, convienient, and unrestricted way to do so. People are pirating because artificial scarcity has been forced upon them, not because everyone is inherently a criminal. It’s change or die right now for media. Instead of embracing these changes and looking for ways to exploit them and innovate, they are instead concerned with draining every last cent out of a dying business model. Doesn’t sound like good business to me, but what do I know. I haven’t taken “business 101.”

To be clear: we do not advocate stealing copyrighted material.

Second, your comment referring to Zadi hiring people that look like her is completely incorrect. At Thursday night’s event, we were asked a question about making a show for tween girls. Zadi recommended that the producer use hosts who actually ARE tween girls, rather than adults who might be perceived as talking down to their intended audience. She was not talking about herself in any way.

These guys claim independence and freedom, yet they are as progressive as you can get. They claim they ban people from their site who don’t agree with them. I believe the producers called them “trolls”. The host even prescribed to other producers that they hire people that look like her because she can only watch people who look like her and think like her. Make no mistake about it. This is a show for liberal progressives made by liberal progressives. And good for them. They have every right to that opinion. But take heed, true liberals will probably be better off with Gore’s Current.tv.

The only Epic FU show I ever saw included the show’s host condemning studios for not distributing their content for free. So according to Epic FU (which probably means; Epic Fuck You) producers/studios are stupid and stingy if they don’t give in to copyright infringement on the internet. They described the music industry fallout as a litmus test for this policy. So I ask Epic Fuck You, where do you expect to make your money? I mean, you have to be relevant to make any money with advertising. So where then? Donations? And these Epic Fuck You people actually tried to convince us that stealing copyrighted material on the internet is fair game and a comeuppance for profitable studios. They actually made claim that copyright infringement will be your demise if you don’t offer your content for free.

I’ll suggest here and now a “business 101″ class for the Epic Fuck You’ers. Maybe film school or a broadcasting education might enlighten them a little.

Can you say “Progressive”?
