[edit] legal trouble even possible

RE: CNN article about attempted legal action (This Land)

How is legal trouble even possible? Copyright laws specifically allow parody. -Branddobbe 23:59, Jan 17, 2005 (UTC)

Also, isn't calling Clinton a "male chauvnist pig," POV? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.125.69.225 (talk • contribs)
Easy. You can sue anybody you want. That doesn't mean the case doesn't get dismissed. It's pretty ridiculous that they decided to settle, but that just goes to show that the American way is that even if you are completely in the wrong, you can still threaten a lawsuit and instantly cause enough damage to your opponent (who is totally in the right) that the financially smart thing to do is to give you money for it. It's legalized thievery, and IP owners are making this a routine part of their business model. Sickening. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 136.1.1.33 (talkcontribs)

[edit] lyrics to "2-0-5"

I noticed that somebody added the lyrics to "2-0-5" into this article. If others started adding the lyrics to JibJab animations onto this article, wouldn't that take the focus away from JibJab themselves? If this seems to be the case, would it be better to write a seperate article for the lyrics?

Aside from that, the lyrics are also copyrighted by JibJab, and unlike the original songs that they parody, JibJab does own the copyright to the lyrics posted. This is probably a copyright violation and the text should probably be deleted. 青い(Aoi) 08:39, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Lyrics

New lyrics, this time for Second Term. I'm deleting them, but if anyone thinks they should stay, it ain't a dictatorship. Or is it... --MasTer of Puppets 14:52, 18 January 2006 (UTC)

Someone apparently put them back in... Personally, I too think they are not needed. I have taken them out (again). Timebender13 23:39, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] JibJab and Budweiser

"Their new project is an advertisement campaign for Budweiser. More information on this partnership can be found by going to their site."

On which site (Budweiser's or JibJab's)? I didn't see any information on this after a quick perusal of both sites. So a direct link to the information should be provided, if possible. At the very least, a citation of where this information can be verified. Plus this section really needs to be expanded. At the very least, the nature of the advertisement campaign, as well as to types of commercials, should be noted. Stating that something exists and that you have to go elsewhere to learn anything about it seems pretty weak for an encyclopedia article.

[edit] Starring You

Should their feature "Starring You" be added to the list of JibJab's features? --168.103.135.44 02:45, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] In 2007

Hi, I added some information on In 2007, the Jibjab year in review. I haven't seen the entire movie yet, so if there's anything I missed or was wrong about, go ahead and change it.Leprechaun Gamer (talk) 02:18, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

Okay, this is weird, but In 2007 seems to be pulling a disappearing act on me. As in, sometimes, it's there, but sometimes, it's not, and the page's history doesn't reflect this. Anyone know what's going on?Leprechaun Gamer (talk) 03:29, 22 December 2007 (UTC)
