Dear Penn,

Fuck You!

Sony have restricted access to your Penn Says videos from the UK due to some copyright thing. Tell them to stop doing it.

Lots of Love

Jamie

Hi Jamie,

Penn has no control over that, Showtime does.

You could always drop them a note.



Sincerely,

Cheers MB,

Yeah it's Sony I suppose.

I'll give wreak havoc on them instead.

How dare they take my Penn Says? The crackle site works but it's only a matter of time before that goes down too.

Cheers

Jamie

I can hear the fucking fireworks from my house. I can see the fucking fireworks from my house. I can feel the fucking fireworks from my house. But I can't watch Penn Says on YouTube.

It's iTunes or nothing as far as Penn Says goes.

It's OK, it's back now.

Yeah, but now I have the problem! I live in Sweden and I can't watch them on either Youtube or on Crackle. This pisses me off.

Yep it's back off for me too. It's the stupidest thing I've seen in a long time.

Cheers

Jamie

We can't watch it on Youtube, Crackle, or iTunes, but we can complain about it until Crackle fixes the problem.

Check out this video for more information:

I don't agree that a "1st amendment error has occured" as the video states. Sony are a private company and if they don't want us to see it then that's up to them. I just want to point out to them that it's fucking dumb thing to do and for this reason I'm not buying another Sony product until this ban is lifted. Let's not bring freedom of speech into a place where it's not needed.

Cheers

Jamie

Jamie is exactly right. This isn't censorship, because there isn't a government involved pointing guns at anyone.

The fact that I can't see PennSays anymore is fucking retarded, but it's not censorship. Also, that video sucked major ass for other reasons, the most important of which is that it made my head hurt. Some may attribute this to the bottle of wine that I just polished off, but I don't buy it.

Cheers,
Paul

PS: Fuck you, Sony!

Yes, the creator of the video was a little extreme, but I like his idea.

Yeah Penn Say won't play in Canada on youtube and Crackle just gives me an error that probably could have been trapped by a slightly competent web developer. The iTunes feed hasn't shown anything since December, I think. And trying to get it via Zune has the same results. (Maybe iTunes blocks it in Canada?)

Anyway, maybe issues need to be worked out with Sony and rights in other countries but it's a bit frustrating for fans who weren't lucky enough to be born from American sperm.

Ha. So I emailed Sony Canada's customer service about the cocked up rights issue. This is the response I got:

I have no idea why Sony does this to the rest of the world. I could see all of the videos until a few weeks ago. Why show it and suddenly just decide NOT to show it? I wanna know why. It feels like Sony are a bunch of sadists

Been wondering wtf is wrong whit crackle pages, so glad to find this thread. Would love to hear some reasoning behind this. Is sony somehow going to make great deal of money whit penn says clips? Does it cost them anything, if they are uploaded to youtube? Allso what Penn thinks about this. Too bad we wouldnt see it haha.
But lets hope it gets back online for everyone some day and best whishes to penn and all the fans
