So, I've been looking around and trying to find this short film that Chris Colfer did before Glee called "Russel Fish: The Sausage and Eggs Incident." Someone had posted the trailer somewhere and it looked interesting. After much googling, I finally found the Official Site. Which, oddly, was at the way bottom of the first google page of hits. So, anyway, I go there, see if there's any info about where I can watch/buy the film and they have a "Buy Stuff" link. So, I click. Hey, it's only $1.29. I can do that. So, I do. And then comes the Terms and Conditions page. Which is as follows:
Come on! That right there was worth the price of the movie. I am very amused by these folks and may have to check out other short films they have produced.
By clicking accept you agree:
1. If you help people steal our movie, our german shepherd will not be able to eat and she’s already skinny.
2. Your mother taught you not to steal. Stealing is wrong. You are a good person for purchasing our film. But, if you upload the film onto the internet, you are a bad person.
3. If you feel you must give films away, you should give away the property of multi-national media corporations run by Australians with the initials R.M. and not plucky, independent filmmakers who are trying to stick it to “The Man.”
4. If a friend of yours caused your copy to jump to their hard drive without your consent, you hereby “pinkie-swear” that you will make them come to our website and donate $1.29.
5. A friend of ours from college sold out and became an entertainment attorney. We have compromising pictures of him holding a bong, therefore he will write nasty “cease and desist” letters to you and sue you for a gazillion dollars if you steal our film.
6. #5 is a lie. None of our friends are lawyers. We wanted to seem scary.
7. If you want to know your rights and our rights to our copyrighted material we suggest you read the itunes terms and conditions. Steve Jobs can afford really good lawyers.
8. By purchasing this film you promise not to upload it to the internet or give it away herewith that enforces the plaintiff’s aforementioned copyright.
9. We suck at this.
10. By clicking “accept” you not only get to your very own copy of an award winning film, but also accept our sincere love and appreciation. Air hug.
Come on! That right there was worth the price of the movie. I am very amused by these folks and may have to check out other short films they have produced.
