Oh yeah, I used to love Sev Trek, but ever since they went to the Dark Side and made everything except the current comic require a membership, I've dropped them like a hot tribble.

Now I don't feel quite so bad for ganking one of their punchlines for one of my fivers (though it was one that something like half a dozen people had submitted).

Woe is me for being so picky, but at least I wasn't completely mortified when the paid membership thing came up. Isn't it enough that I pay monthly for my internet and my own website? >_< I understand the bandwidth problems, [moany rant]but that means that they are popular, and well in my nearly six years online I've never come close, my bandwidth only came an issue on Geocities and that was cos they limited the account stuff for upteinth time[/moany rant] Wow as usual, I write too much |

Well, there are also plays that do this sort of thing... for instance, "Shakespeare Abridged" and "All the Great Books". It's a good concept, and when done well...like it is here, and in the plays I've mentioned above... it's really, really funny and original.
Not to mention that many community theatres do parodies of their shows after a show has closed, just for fun, and just for the cast and crew and family members... Okay, okay, I've gone on long enough. But my point is, when it's done well, it's really really funny!

when his brother in his ear poured a vial full of hemling, Stole his crown and his money and his widow, But the dead king wafted down to haunt his son and said "Hey, kiddo, I'm your father and it's your duty to avenge my death on Claudius, Kill him quick and clean and tell the nation what a fraud he was." The kid said "Well, I'll do it, but I'll have to play it crafty, And so no one will suspect me I'll let on that I'm a dafty."

If you're talking about The Reduced Shakespeare Company and
The Complete Works of William Shakespeare Abridged The Bible Abridged All The Great Books Abridged etc. Then I must agree. I have their DVD and their radio show. Wouldn't it be a reasonable compromise for Sev Trek to make the entire archive accessable, but require registration for punchline submission? I think that when you get right downt to it, far too many webmasters become influenced by MONEY. In fact sometimes I think that all webmasters should take an oath that goes something like: "If I do not copyright my characters, style, or work prior to posting a single page on the Internet, then my work does not belong to me. The words do, but I will not be bothered by plagarists. On the other hand, I will not sell merchandise containing anything that did not originate with me." Case in point: Sean Howard of A Modest Destiny. He started what is arguably one of the best pixel comics out there (still second to Kid Radd ), but when Penny Arcade started alegedly using similar sprites he went ballistic. That was bad enough, but when his site suddenly went from PG to PG-13 (accomplishing nothing, by the way, in terms of quality of storyline), he just turned me off. He should've taken my Webmaster's Oath. It's sort of a "create your own stuff, but don't take it too seriously" mentality. I realize that I've gone way off topic, but what else is new? Opinions?
