EDIT 5: On 10/1/18 we are doing an AMA for the 10th anniversary! Join us https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA EDIT 4: 11/3/09 - Last week, LazyTown Entertainment filed a second takedown notice in order to take us down. They seem to forget that I won last time. After a short talk with YouTube they decided to restore everything. Check out http://youtomb.mit.edu to learn more about this takedown and others. EDIT 3: 1/13/09 - It's been a long month but the counter-claim has gone through without a hitch.
