No, I'm a big fan of yours (I wake up early on Fridays just to see your vids). But I consider a bootleg an unauthorized copy of something that was or is available to the public. That concert vid I have does not contain bootlegged material. That concert isn't widely available to the general public.

You're right.

I can't control anything that goes on other websites (Nor would I want to). If someone has a bootleg on their site, it's that site's responsibility to decide if it violates their rules. All we can do is enforce the rule here. No bootlegs. And these aren't bootlegs that have been linked on WOWAY.

TV appearances may be considered bootlegs (By definition), but in a YouTube world, that means just about 70% of what's on YouTube is a bootleg.

Our definition of bootleg is concerts and unreleased songs. So that's why nobody has complained about the videos.

Also, for Weird Al fans, you guys take things too seriously. Like the 'called-out' guy and the 'haters'. Some may be joking! You never know! You guys treat Al like a god. He is a human being. I don't care if people are fans, but if you take jokes about Al too seriously, then you may need to think about what you're saying for a second.

And some people see these things as trollish attacks. It's called the internet. Like it or leave it.

Here it is!!!

[EDIT] This is only part 2.

I watched all three parts.. AWESOME interview.. one of the best I have ever seen, and certainly one of the most revealing.. shows what is possible if you build up a rapport with the subject and some intelligent questions.

10/10 for that

Very great interviews. You can tell the guy was a genuine fan, and he raised a very interesting point: You don't really see Al getting much credit for the fake interviews he does. Very good to see him finally getting some kudos for that.

I remember watching that show when I was younger.
