It makes me sad when one of the people that I used to love to watch just looses it.
For quite a while now, I've been a fan of Jason "LordKat" Pullara. He can be quite funny, and I loved to watch most of his shows quite a while ago for the humor and effort he put into them. It was enjoyable, and you could tell that he actually cared about his audience. For the last six months however, something's changed.
It started back when he cancelled his Until We Win series. The last episode is well worth watching, because this is the general feeling I've gotten from most of his productions since. It's a man who doesn't care, trying to get this done as quickly as possible. At least, that's how it's been until this article.
The article is nothing but a number of cheap shots at the community, fulled by his own frustration over the lack of understanding of the bill by the community. I understand his position, and I do side with his arguments on two fronts:
1. The copywrite holders have the final say on all of their copywrited works. That's the law.
2. The streaming video or LP of a game is definite copywrite infringement.
However, he goes about pushing his arguments through by belittling the community, calling them idiots and such. The actual content of the article, while containing some valuable information, is complete garbage. It's the slavering rantings of a deranged madman.
The trip downhill for this former net-celeb has been grinding down for a long time, and I hate to say it, I think I'm glad to finally see it hit rock bottom. He needs to take control of his site, and stop relying on the community to populate it with articles, or just give up and admit defeat. I, for one, am declaring him dead to me, and I urge the rest of you to do the same.
