This always strikes me as odd and to me it shows that Youtube and the rights holders don't really understand how internet reviews and other things work.  I mean There is a large portion of my home video collection that I term the so bad it's good section and they are mostly all movies that I bought because of the comedy reviews or rifftrax I came across online. I wouldn't even have bought the prequels on DvD if it were not for Rifftrax.  I mean I have gone to the trouble of tracking down a few of the movie The Cinema Snob has done just because I wanted to see them unedited.  Far from costing them money, having these shows that use clip generate money for the rights holders but getting people like me to go out and buy a copy of their movies on DvD.  Why can't the rights holders seem to wrap their heads around this fact?

I mean heck if the makers of Clonus had denied MST3K permission to do their movie would anyone have alerted them to the fact that The Island ripped off their movie? The fact is people like me do have a kind of sick love for these bad movies and we are loyal fans just trying to share this really strange relationship we have with these films.  I mean this is how sick it can get some times, when I was watching that one Dirty Harry movie I got really excited when I spotted Charles Pierces name in the credits because he made the Legend of Boggy Creek, in other words the fact that he let his movie be mocked made me a fan of his, why doesn't that seem to count for anything when it comes to these sorts of cases?
