Warner Bros. Serves Notice On "Acme Page"

In a letter received on November 13, 1995, Warner Bros. demanded that I remove virtually all material mentioning their characters from this and any other site, and to not create or distribute new material. As a result of this and discussions with my provider, Illuminati Online, this page is currently much emptier than it was, and has been renamed. These changes in no way constitute an admission of moral or legal guilt, and are not to be considered as relinquishing my rights under legal precedent, the Berne Convention, the First Amendment, and US law. Despite the efforts of WIFA, WB Legal is currently taking the position that, due to WB's exclusive contract with AOL, the only legitimate forum for discussion of WB cartoon characters is on AOL. They've explicitly stated that they regard IRC channels like #watertower and newsgroups like alt.tv.animaniacs as unsupportable and possibly illegal. We'll see.
In related news, @cme got a mention on the Trademarks and Web Sites page, along with many other sites stomped upon by the excesses of corporate America. ("Was that over the top? I can never tell!")

"What the heck is '@cme'?"

Well, it's a cute way of avoiding using a WB trademark. Eventually, I hope to create my own cartoon-derived universe to write in, and "@cme" may be the title under which I do so. Plans are still vague, however. It's pronounced either "AT-mee" or "AK-mee", depending on how close you're standing to a WB lawyer.

alt.tv.animaniacs

One of my fave virtual hangouts. We're a little quirky and obscure, but, hey, so's the show!

alt.tv.tiny-toon

A slower-paced group, dedicated to Tiny Toon Adventures.

alt.animation.warner-bros

Usually devoted to the discussion of the theatrical Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies cartoons, but talk of Animaniacs and Tiny Toons is also welcome.

alt.tv.tiny-toon.fandom

A (theoretically) flame-free environment for the discussion of people's kinks involving characters from Tiny Toons, Animaniacs, Looney Tunes, and anything else animated that isn't locked up.

This site has been mentioned in Film & Video On The Internet, NetGuide, PC Review, and The Hartford Courant!

Use of trademarks is not a threat to their validity. I hope.
