“Zod DAMN you’re UGLY!!!” — that is one of the funniest things I’ve seen all year! Lookin’ forward to ‘08, bruh!
Dude.
Important episode.
Love it.
I will fight!!!
Dude that was awesome! Great editing, love the exit.
Nice job, Rudy!
Sweet Casey cameo, too!
that was a banger.
Happy Festivous to all!
Good one, Holo-Casey, Was that an old transmition that was knocking around in old R2’s Rusty inards? Loved the BladeRunner/ Dr Who bit. It does seem that every one is so willing to give up our freedoms in order to make a tone more money for the super rich. Hey I love a good fight as long as I don’t have to do too much work.
Can’t wait for the new season in 2008. All the best to Everybody!
Liked this one very much. It’s a good made and an important episode. Fight on!
I totally support this 100% We should make noise lots of noise or that’s what Ms Garrett said on an episode of the Facts of Life to Natalie.
I love that darko-wall effect!
Awesome show Rudy!!! Thank you!!!
This is a fight we should never forget. This is just draconian measure to stop the growth of art and creativity. Some more info can be seen at http://defectivebydesign.org/ and http://www.free-culture.cc/.
Heh heh… another brilliant sketch, Rudy!! Gotta love the Dr. Who music cue

Rudy, that was fracking hilarious and totally explains those Zod ugly stillshots on Facebook
The cleverness in the writing never fails to impress and the gags are priceless. I heart Galacticast 
*Le Sigh*

Rock on man!
The only thing missing was a mountain of mashed potatoes.
Loved it!
Congratulations for all your 2007 successes! Looking forward to see what you have in store for 2008!
please come to the US! we’ll protect you!
That was awesome! Close encounter “wall composition” made my day.
Yeah! Fight! Whoo-hoo!
Or, just move here!

Darkoooooooo!
Rudy, man, I find it enjoyable that you write the show with a pen. Is it me or is the show getting better and better?
I also really enjoy seeing you in Japanese makeup.
Hey…
This episode was about the Canadian DMCA, yet none of the things parodied in it are Canadian in origin!
No Lahey, no Bubbles, no Bob & Doug McKenzie, no Cabbage Head… not even a token DeGrassi student!
What gives, eh?
Hello,
thats a good podcast.
Its good to bring the organisation behind the DMCA back to planet earth.
In present i have trouble with none conform CDs. In the future i must pay for a song, i am thinking about.
Greatings from germany and a happy new year

Thanks again everyone for the sweet compliments.
@Clarence - Me too!
@Lan - Please do. Seriously, next year will be the most exciting and the scariest for us small guys.
@Vu - Thanks man, but with a pen? Unless you are talking about my pen… *ahem*
For my fellow Canadians and international Copyfighters (that includes you Chris Burdick) the fight is being organized on facebook and by Micheal Geist. Links in our “Inspired by” section of the credits.
Have a Happy New Year everyone.

Damn, I’m so glad that we’re not the only ones having trouble with our MPs. But you think, you’ve got problems? Hey man, look at Germany:

Cute! & good info.
Wait. I thought the thing about Casey leaving was just Superman’s ruse.
Eagerly anticipating season three. Galacticast is easily the best thing I’ve seen on “TV” in years. Rudy, you guys seriously kick ass. Keep fighting the good fight!
Now if I could just stop saying “Frak” and “Zod Damnit” in regular conversation.
Awesome!!!!
Seriously, Awesome!!!!!
No kidding, Awesome!!!!!!!!!
AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LOVE THE NEW LAYOUT!

hey mace, I agree… that does NOT a season 3 make. I’m so bummed. I thought it was supposed to start in Feb.
Uh, Rudy — “GALACTICAST Season 3.0 begins FEBRUARY 2008″ — is this an early April Fool’s?
Guys? Are you there? Need supplies of Galacticast!
Just be Patient, They Will crank out more I’m Sure!
From all I have read They have been very busy For most of this year, So just wait, If your Patient They will come.
Uh . . . I think they quit. Nothing lasts forever. Not even on the internet. Maybe that should read “ESPECIALLY on the internet”.
We haven’t quit. Oh no. We are just underground, in our secret base, building something … monstrous. Sharp. Deadly. Like a knife.
[laughs maniacally ... farts]
Sorry.
Well at least we now know you’re still alive Rudy!
Didn’t enjoying having to go cold turkey from my Galacticast fix I have to say, but happy to hear you haven’t abandoned us!
Oh, thank Zod. I was worried there. If Galacticast dies, so will we!
…
Not really. But it’s a gesture.
BTW, is Cassey still in it? I can’t tell if that was real or a hoax from Superman.
Woot cant wait for something new. =]
Hooray, glad to hear they will be coming back someday! I was just about to demote this page from my Firefox bar, too. Not going to happen, now!
I hope that thing is not like Duke Nukem Forever…
Galacticast, Galacticast! Wherefor art thou, Galacticast?
Darn it Rudy! Back in January, I was really looking forward to Season 3. Now it’s just about June and not one new episode. Did you get a real job, or did Casey’s departure send you into a drunken downward spiral? C’mon, Casey wasn’t a muse. You’ve got a lot of good material in you. You just need to release it. (Wait! That sounded dirty.) Anyways I look forward to the real Season 3. Good Luck.
I believe in you Galacticast!
