I was recently alerted by YouTube that a video I made was removed due to a third-party notification by Archie Comic Publications, Inc. claiming that this my video parody "Archie Andrews... Dead" is infringing on copyright. Again, this video is a PARODY, and that should be apparent to anyone with common sense. It is a comment on how the comic book publishers use death as a cheap marketing ploy. I chose Archie precisely because most sensible people would realize that such a tactic by Archie Comics is absurd. The "tags" for the video even had the video clearly marked as being a parody. Removed video link: ARCHIE ANDREWS... DEAD.: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vjE59vr2nLI An alternative upload can be viewed at my other account: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i3e2UVP8w6M I am challenging the removal of my video and the false accusations from Archie Comics Publications, Inc., and I want the comic book public to know of Archie Comic Publications removal of a video satire

Is DARK HORSE ripping off LIVING WITH ZOMBIES?

Two people I know, who both have frequented my shop, Comics Unlimited, are the creators of a comic book series named “Living With Zombies,” which features me as a character. “Living With Zombies” is a comedy-horror series about the continuing exploits of two slacker pals who one day find that the world around them has become overrun by zombies. The series was created by Matthew C. Billman and Christopher Herndon in 2003 as a web comic. The series was later published in 2004 by Frightworld Studios, and later by Goathead Publishing. There have been seven issues published, and a trade paperback was published in 2007 collecting all the issues up to date. “Wizard” magazine has twice mentioned the series, once in an article about zombie comics where it was given a full page write-up, and later in an article about the top 40 Independent comics that “Wizard” suggested its readers should be reading. The reason I bring all of this up is that there is a series being published by Dark Horse Comics
