What happened to the Bill Hicks material on youtube? * 3
    #22353133 - 10/09/15 03:25 AM (8 years, 3 months ago)

I've been a huge fan of Bill Hicks for a while now, and in the last few years I've watched full shows of Sane Man, Relentless, and Revelations on youtube which were posted by many people over the last many years.  I just went back to watch one of them yesterday, and none of them are there anymore.  What IS there are short clips from those shows under the channel name "Bill Hicks", and each short clip starts with a big advertisement for "Comedy Dynamics".  Comedy Dynamics says they're a huge storehouse for all comedy.  This seems strange to me.  I don't think that Comedy Dynamics is owned by the Hicks family, and that they are trying to copyright everything and make people take it down, so what's going on??  Another strange thing is that "comedy dynamics" thru the channel "Bill Hicks" has suddenly released TONS of short clips of rare Bill material which was never available before.  Do you think this company went to his family and convinced them to claim copyright laws in exchange for money and some more of his rare material which was never released? 

There are a couple of people who have posted the shows I'm talking about in the last week, but they have posted them so the audio track is slowed down a little bit, and the color is off.....

It seems either someone or some company is making people take down Bill's full shows.

This is insane, another messenger being chopped down!!!

Anyone know whats up with this, or whose doing this?

Presumably whoever now owns his material got legally serious about it. It seems pretty easy to get stuff stripped off Youtube as long as you have a solid legal team. Nintendo went ape shit since they released Mario Maker and almost every single video of levels made with unofficial editors has been taken down.

Well I found them available in full on Hulu, but comedy dynamics still pops up at the beginning, and you have numerous commercials throughout.....

Greed is disgusting

That's not greed, greed would be not letting the public view them at all. Just plain ol' basic ads on a video.

I'm talking about the desire to make money in any way possible......It's just sad and ironic, since Bill hated the idea of shopping malls, marketing and marketers, and would joke that Earth is "the third shopping mall from the sun".

I'm a total Bill Hicks fan, I know all his material, however we are getting to a point with media where the best way to make money off of it are ads. I'm totally pro-advertisment. Those videos also cost someone money to host them, so there is that.

I think Bill Hicks died way too young. It only took me a year or two to get completely bored by hicks because he has such a small catalogue of work because of his unfortunate death. Doug Stanhope is as good as Bill Hicks, imo.

What "total" fan would justify putting money behind his material, then say you got completely bored with him, then say Stanhope is just as good.

lol, you ain't no Hicks fan.....

Dude, I'm 31 years old, started listening to Hicks when I was about 20. He has a finite amount of material, sorry. Maybe you like playing stuff on repeat but I don't. Every joke he has made I heard 100 times. I'm just bored by it at this point. When I need a good laugh, it can't be something I heard 1000 times. I kind of think its weird that people can laugh at the same joke 100 times. Doesn't mean I'm not a fan or thinks he does shitty work. Stanhope is absolutely just as good, and reminds me how Hicks might have progressed had he stayed alive.

Well if you've heard every joke 100 times, then obviously you DO like playing stuff on repeat....but you just said you don't, so which is it?  You do or don't like playing stuff on repeat?

Now I can't take you seriously.

There's no limit for you?
So to be a fan means anytime his material comes on I have to enjoy it?
I have to act like I never heard it before? What do you want? At least I have guidelines when to move on, which usually involves absorbing it til I feel satisfied, which after 11 years I do. I get it, you don't feel like you adequately absorbed all his stuff and have not found the need to move on.

Keep in mind the numerous time I have heard Bill Hicks doesn't account for ME playing him. Could be friends, videos online people show me, etc.

When are YOU done with material? When do YOU move on?
Like I said, after 11 years of appreciating him I mostly moved on.
There's a universe of comedy out there and being stuck on one dead comic with finite material 11 years after I discovered sounds depressing to me.

So you "appreciated" him and enjoyed him for 11 years, then moved on...... But earlier you said you got completely bored of him after only 2 years.....

You make no fucking sense at all, lol.

Answer my questions, please.

Dude, I'm being very liberal with time frames, it is kind of obvious, but the time frames only serve as a point to let you know how long I've exposed myself to his material, whether it be me or somewhere else.
I don't expect myself or anyone else to remember exact times during transitions. When or how long I got bored of Bill Hicks is actually irrelevant to this whole discussion, the fact is I've absorbed his material to a satisfactory degree over 11 years and I have moved on. This is the most potent point.


So do you feel you have not absorbed his material, so you have to keep coming back to it? When you read a book, do you reread over and over until you can recite it paragraph by paragraph?
