A Rifftrax PSA

[Mod City]

This popped up on Mike Nelsons Twitter account recently:

# RiffTrax The following is a RiffTrax PSA:

# RiffTrax Currently twice as many people have illegally downloaded our Inception riff from one torrent site alone then have bought it.

# RiffTrax When you create rifftrax torrents and upload them, you do our small business a great deal of harm. Please don't do it.

# RiffTrax Our thanks to all of our fans who have bought our work, you allow us to keep making more!

This community is pretty supportive of the Brains' post-MST3K projects, so I'm probably preaching to the choir, but I thought I'd bring it up anyway.

I don't listen to RiffTrax that I haven't purchased myself. I'm so sorry that this is happening to them.

I noticed they've started taking donations as well. Maybe I'm looking too deeply into that aspect, but it sure sounds like RiffTrax is hurting.

Our donation link has been up almost as long as we've been in existence. No reason to read anything into this other than exactly what we said: we don't want people to illegally upload our comedy.

[Torgo]

Huh. I just must not have noticed it before.

While I had a job, I faithfully bought the shorts, and once I get another one, I plan on buying a few more (Eggbert is first on my list).

Off to PM the Mods I go!
