Video Brinquedo, the maker of those god-awful knockoffs of Pixar and Dreamworks movies (sometimes called Brixar, short for "Brazilian Pixar") has filed copyright claims against YouTube, pulling down their films.

Now I even have less respect for these hypocrites. Apparently not enough clueless grannies are buying their DVDs at the checkout counter these days.

They're trying hard to protect the delusion that someone's going to buy their films not-ironically.

Though, nothing is quite as bad as the time Viacom STOLE a video off of youtube and put it in some crap MTV show, and then forcing them to remove the original video on the grounds that they owned it.

Or stealing people's YT videos for another video-hosting site they own while re-titling them and refusing to credit the uploaders. They even profit off of the vids by putting up ads in front of them.
