Now MSN is getting into the thievery game!  They currently have the Star Wars Subway Car video featured on their front page (which gets a ridiculous amount of traffic.)  They’re linking to their own internal MSN comedy site “The Bubble” where they’re embedding a stolen version of the video from StupidVideos.com

Does anyone know someone who works for MSN front page editorial, The Bubble, or Stupid Videos? 

How hard is it to link to the people who made the thing that you like?  You know, the people that actually went out and did something?

UPDATE: After sending a personal email to someone I was in touch with from Stupid Videos in 2006, he fixed the problem for me (and it turns out he is now working for the Bubble.)  Still, I shouldn’t have to go around asking giant media companies to not steal my content after the fact.  Lame!  Also lame that Keith Olbermann played the video on Oddball tonight but didn’t bother to say who made it or where he got it from.  No “courtesy ImprovEverywhere.com” or even “courtesy YouTube.com.”  I mean, cool to be featured on Keith Fucking Olbermann, but why can MSNBC just take someone’s creative work and report on it without saying who made it?  Just because you “found it” on the Internet doesn’t mean someone didn’t “work hard on it.”  Keith, don’t you remember that we are old friends?

I promise to stop ranting about people ripping off this video from this point forward.
