Dear lord, that was painfully long, but I belly-laughed at least five times during the film unexpectedly.

How come this is still on YouTube? Isn't this copyright infringement?
"All trademarked and copyrighted liscences are property of their repsective owners." Obviously some magic YouTube incantation to protect against take-downs :-/ With 1m+ views, it's nice to see it's made it so long. Don't feel good about its prospects for much longer though!
Theoretically any matches are reviewed by a human, but they make it quiet easy to automate the 'review' process. Automated actions are typically Claim-Remove (claim content for copyright holder, remove from YouTube) for some content types (Movies, TV shows, some music) or Claim-Monetize (claim content, ad advertisements if there were not already on, and if they were already on all revenue is redirected to claimant).
This automated system is actually what causes the majority of 'this content is not available in your country' messages, as if it gets claimed by a studio / copyright holder who only has the rights distribute in USA and UK for example, everyone else would see that error message after it has been claimed-monetized.
In case anyone was curious.

Could someone do this for Transformers? Not for the Bots, for the Humans. Dub Japanese or German in there and subtitle it. 1000% better movie.
One of the most surreal experiences of my life was watching one of the old Godzilla films, dubbed into fluent Australian.
Actually torrents are pretty bad for storing "rare" files. Maybe someone should offer a fix.
In the good old days of using (Napster|Audiogalaxy|Gnutella) I could point the file-sharing application to my collection and presto - it was all shared and available to whoever was interested. Nowadays, I just share whatever torrent I have participated in lately, plus a few that seem popular but rare (those most uploaded from my client) - but I have a whole lot of rather rare music that I fail to share for lack of a…

I just sat through a torrent of this movie, thanks to this post. Dear lord, that was painfully long, but I belly-laughed at least five times during the film unexpectedly.
I really like the idea of torrents being used to distribute anonymous derivative works of copyrighted media. I recently created a fan edit of "Star Wars: Episode II - The Phantom Menace" for my dad for Christmas. I removed Jar Jar Binks and the entire Gungan subplot. I tried to keep the edits as subtle as possible, and I learned a lot about the editing techniques and transitions used in the film. I wanted to release…
"I really like the idea of torrents being used to distribute anonymous derivative works of copyrighted media." This reminds me of fan-provided (third party) commentary tracks. Are those still a thing ? When I first heard of this, many years ago, I was very excited about the idea of seeing interesting films with interesting background/commentary/metadata provided by well-informed commentators. Did that ever go anywher…
Also, if you're at all a fan (or not) of the Harry Potter movies, there's a great alt audio track called "Wizard People, Dear Reader". For that one, you either turn off the audio in the movie (or at least turn it way down so you can still sorta hear the music) and play the alternate narration. The premise is kind of the story as told by someone who's never heard the actual narrative, but I think the humor shows that he was at least a bit familiar with it.

Actually I may watch this again tonight as it's been a while. When I wanted to get this friend to check it out, I made a DVD of the movie with the Wizard People audio synced up and the original audio track turned low enough that you can hear the music but the spoken lines don't interfere with the alternate audio.
I guess if I was more ambitious I could've gone through and tweaked levels during dialogue and added a filter in those parts to cut out more of the speech frequencies while leaving the music and other ambient sound. Seemed like it would take a lot of time though.
Slightly off topic, but I find the fascination with ASCII-arting things interesting. I grew up in the days of 2400 baud modems and even ran a BBS briefly. At the time, ASCII art was the only thing you could do to differentiate yourself. Nowadays I suppose it's a combination of nostalgia and ease of transferring since pretty much every system ever has a way of reading ASCII. But I wonder how long the trend will last -…
I recently had a solo art show consisting entirely of ASCII Art works based on Taylor Swift, and it was quite successful. Probably 300 people came and I'm a veritable nobody. A bunch of young Swift fans came with their parents and it was a good introduction for some kids as to what you can do with programming Some images: https://www.facebook.com/dmitricherniak/media_set?set=a.5502...

Speaking of fan-made and Matrix, a long time ago there was a fan-made film in the Matrix universe called The Fanimatrix ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Fanimatrix ). Around a decade ago, I downloaded it through BitTorrent. Then a few years ago, I found it in my old files, still next to its original torrent file. Ever since then, I seed it on and off, in the vain hope that anyone knows it exists, has its torrent f…
I've got a magnet for it: magnet:?xt=urn:btih:72c83366e95dd44cc85f26198ecc55f0f4576ad4&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.openbittorrent.com%3A80&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Fopen.demonii.com%3A1337
Or http://mgnet.me/.OldestTorrentAlive if you can't copy the magnet from this site
I've got it on my seedbox (with unlimited bandwidth) so let's get this torrent seeding again.
