Aye, the two new Xombie submissions were fantastic, and I do agree, if Lego doesn't apriciate their fans, fuck 'em in the eye.

Yes James Farr is very talented. Screw those Lego people. HEY LEGO! Do you hear this! GO TO HELL! I think I'll email those bastards. Tom, it was good that you didn't fight them, cause don't wanna get suuuued [in Willy (simpsons) voice]. But the Lego people, damn.

So, Tom, are you gonna post the letter from Lego into the hate mail page?

It's kind of sad the collection had to go, because I was thinking about making 3D lego movies myself.

Well, I hope they have nothing against my Clock character, LegomanClock.

:There was some bad news this past week... Despite there being national festivals for Lego movies, Lego didn't seem to appreciate the work by fans here on Newgrounds. I had a nasty confrontation with their lawyers, who wanted the Lego stuff removed.

A lot of times I fight this stuff, but in this case fuck it... If Lego doesn't appreciate their fans, then I don't want to promote their toys anyway. I was a Constructs kid myself. So I deleted over 100 Lego submissions. I did regret it afterwards, but now it's done. We had some really great submissions, and rarely were they crude in nature.

What were they gonna do to you? cant you call it freedom of speech???? :O

This is going too far.

I see the demise of all on Newgrounds near because of these lawsuits. It won't be long before the Japanese get on our case about their stuff. I see it now... no more Love Hina Sim Date RPG, no more EVA Flash, no more Azumanga Diaoh, no more Sim Girl, no more video game remakes or parodies, no more e-zines or anime things period, no more Newgrounds.

It is time to FIGHT and DEFEAT these jerks. I say defy LEGO. We have freedom of speech!

We must win if Newgrounds is to survive.
Until then, it could be doomsday for all Flash by Anthony and Robert Hurrell.

P.S. John Edwards also specializes in lawsuits. A vote for Kerry is a vote against Newgrounds.

What a bunch of sandy-cunted pricks. Oh well, more source material for me

I was this close (ie., thumb and index finger about an inch away) from buying their Star Wars snow speeder set for my little cousin.

She loves Legos AND Star Wars.

Now, with this situation, I don't know what to get her anymore.

Maybe a launch rocket set would be cool...

Anyhow, LEGO SUXS!!

Aha, I figured it was something like this, just waiting for the announcement.

I lost my daily feature :(

I also have no clay to work with :(

And to think, I used to love legos...
B*st*rds!

I have looked at other stuff that has the copyright of other people (Flash based on what the media has given us, such as TV shows and video games). Based on this situation, you might as well substitute "LEGO" in this quote with these:

1. Powerpuff Girls
2. Pokemon
3. DBZ
4. South Park
5. Star Wars
6. Windows
7. Dating Sims
8. All Video Game Collections
9. Pube Muppet
10. Matrix
11. Stick Figures (PeoplePC uses them)
12. Robotech
13. Sloth
14. Transformers
15. Hentai Dress ups
16. Star Trek
17. Napster
18. Harry Potter
19. Simpsons
20. Futurama
21. Family Guy
22. Anime Music Videos
23. Any other anime seen on TV
24. Swearbear
25. DC and Marvel comic book characters

P.S. John Edwards also specializes in lawsuits. A vote for Kerry is a vote against Newgrounds.

How can you say that John Edwards gained money from frivolus lawsuits if he's vice president he won't be able to do frivolous lawsuits so wouldn't a vote for Kerry be for Newgrounds.

Lego cant handle free publicity. Well how bout we just call them building block movies

So what happens if Playdoh or some other soft material medium company comes down on you, Tom? Are we going to lose NG Deathmatch?

If you still have the lego flashes archived somewhere, I suggest you put them back up.

A canvas retailer cannot do anything to an artist because they don't like what the artist has painted on it. Same goes for the company who created the oil paints which the artist used.

If they don't want their product to be used in fan-made stop motion animation, then they should stop selling it instead of telling people what they can and can't do with it.

LEGO legal terms

There are other sections to it. What was apparently violated?

Actually, if you could email me what specific sections of copyright law they were going to claim was violated, I would appreciate it. I have a penchant for beating large corporations over the head for trying to intimidate people.

I was thinking about bying some more legos, and mayby a minstorm set. But now that they use their evil lawyer powers against newgrounds, im not going to buy anything, in fact, im going to tell people not to buy lego stuff at all.

Yea, the new Xombie movies were pretty damn good. I think it was only right that a gallery or collection was made for them. Why he didn't submit episode one though, I'll never know....

As for Lego, that's stupid, why would they get mad?! Just becuase people buy the lego's to make awesome movies out of it doesn't make sense that the companies should not like it and that they should censor the lego movies. It's really quite a shame, and stupid too. They are FAN movies! Why don't they get that....?

Dude, no offence, but Xombie is not that good.
How could do that to the Lego flashes. Lego treasure hunt was so good, but the dirty little *** holes had to get rid of it. Unfair.

They've made mistakes here and there, but this is just immense.
The whole fun with Lego is creating things.
So OF COURSE you're going to have creative people who are creative in other things BESIDES Lego, expressing their love of Lego in other ways.

Great way to whiz all over their supporters.
This is sad.http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=9073
