And would all of you calm down? Seriously, I said the same thing on BG and i'll say the same thing here. If an online site plays such an important part in your everyday lives that you make such a big deal about it, like forming protests and emailing Marvel in protest and whatnot, then you really need to get a life.

You people don't realize that Marvel has constantly been getting screwed in the big industry business. The first X-Man movie, the Spiderman movie, and both Blade films were films based on Marvel characters, yet the company name "Marvel" appeared nowhere in the films credits or anything (which is why in the beginning of the Hulk and X-Men 2 movies, they had a little Marvel logo thing). They essentially got gyped out of quite a bit of time, and there was nothing they could really do about it.

Now no offense to TMy, but if you had just been gyped out of quite a few million dollars within the past few years, and you discovered that somebody (TMy) had created and released an online site containing your own copywrited material, without charging time to the users, and you didn't see a single cent of time coming back, wouldn't you be pissed?

The ONLY way I can see a compromise to be made would be if TMy charged the users a fee to play the site (like EverQuest), with Marvel getting some sort of percentage of the time made. If both Marvel and TMy could work something like that out, then I believe the site may be able to be saved.

But for all you people emailing Stan Lee, the Marvel company, and Marvel's lawyers, protesting their actions and whatnot, you're just decreasing any chance in hell that TMy could have to get this site back running. And like I said....this shouldn't be such a big deal for most of you. This is a site. An online Videosite should NOT play such an important part in your everday life.[/quote]
Well, would marvel be happier if tmyapp put there logo all over the site, and they got $ from tmyapp so that the site can keep running! i think we should all donate $ to tmyapp so he can give it to marvel so that we can keep the site running, tmyapp: you should rechange the whole site by totaly putting alote of marvel logo's and ext.
