Pilot project?

I guarantee UFC is pissed about using their images. That's exactly the kind of thing that would irritate them.

^ which is why Chuck's idea to call it the 'Fair Use Show' is so genius :D

You guys know the story of ZombieProphet, right?

Apparently Zuffa came right after him

[penxv]

I agree. That is a good name.

[Luigi]

Zombie Prophet sounds familiar, who was he?

Zombie Prophet sounds familiar, who was he?

From what I understand, it was ZP's use of prolonged fight highlights as gifs that upset Zuffa.
I'm not quite sure Luigi.

Yeah he was a GIF Master, would post all the best HL moments from MMA wrestling etc.

He got banned from Sherdog but I don;t know why, then got harrassed by Zuffa for posting HL gifs post-fight

Now he doesn't do UFC no more but still makes GIFs from other sports.

Basically he worked pretty hard for free to create golden online content for MMA fans, but got routed out for it by the bigwigs

ZP was the guy that would post those "Teh Gifs" threads on Sherdog right? Those threads are one of the main reasons I started lurking Sherdog's forums.

Yet if you ever look at the Sherdog live event discussion threads, somebody posts a gif of every significant moment within minutes of it happening. Zuffa clearly won that battle.

[Masato]

Yeah he would make GIFS of all the best moments, basically LIVE as events were happening. Always first with Teh Gifs.

Was huge in the online MMA fan world, but got rolled over by legal bullshit. I don't know why Sherdog banned him, but I'd guess it was similar issues.

There was a good interview with him a few months ago, I can't remember where I posted it.

**He might be an interesting consultant/contact to discuss the Pilot project with
