Well BathTub mentioned it and got banned immediately for piracy and illegal use of their name.
So, for a fanfic of a property that isn't theirs, they sure do seem to be a little touchy.

I was wondering about this. I have read that they are allowed to exist and have the blessing of Paramount or whoever owns the rights by not making a profit from the video. If you guys are selling the VODs I wonder if Paramount will have a problem with it. If the Phase II guys don't like it I wonder if they will make a stink with Paramount. |

I just saw the Bathtub post which had been edited to reflect his banning.  I signed up for an account over there but they haven't let me in yet. I'll snoop and post. |

I was curious how the Rifftrax would be received over at the New Voyages forum. I did a search for "rifftrax" and "Mike Nelson" and found nothing.

Piracy and illegal use of their name? Wow, that's rich. What a bunch of morons! I just saw the Bathtub post which had been edited to reflect his banning. I signed up for an account over there but they haven't let me in yet. I'll snoop and post. I registered over there as well so I could see. I'm going to put my favorite quote from the riff in my signature. Let them ban me for THAT!  |

I just got in and can't seem to find anything, but the forum's not as easy-to-search as this one is.

Given the first reaction at the mere mention of this over there, would it surprise anyone if they end up suing? Not for money since they're not making any themselves, but to shut this down. If that happens, I don't think Rifftrax would be able to sell this riff until the case is decided. Therefore, just in case, you probably ought to go ahead and buy it and download it NOW. It's funny as hell and I'd hate to see you miss out while this sat in court for a year.

It really is hilarious. I'd like to know if this one was written only by Bill and Kevin or what.
The best part? It doesn't really rag on the actors -too- much (I'd have expected a lot more of that); occasional comments about Cawley mumbling, his hair, or Scotty's "Accent" are all I've seen so far.
(about 25 minutes in).

I am sure they could still sell the actual Riff just not the video if Paramount get their panties in bunch.
