Do you remember the Hitler parodies on Youtube with clip from The Downfall (Der Untergang). Well, all these are going to be gone soon, thanks Constantin Film (the movie’s producer and distributor). Constantin Film has issued take down notice to Youtube for all the Hitler parodies using clips from The Downfall.

Whoever came up with this decision is a fool. The parody did nothing but publicity for the movie. Before these parodies start appearing on the internet, not many people heard about this movie. There were many reports that people bought the actual DVD after watching the parodies. Constantin Film should had just leave the parodies alone. Besides, these parodies falls under fair use.

There are still a few Hitler parodies on Youtube. But some of the famous ones like the Hitler banned from Xbox live has already been removed. It’s a sad day for everyone. The Hitler parody is one of the best Internet Meme ever. It’s sad to see it being ended by some stupid copyright holders who has totally no idea the benefits these parodies bring to their company.

And of course, some people can’t help but do a Hitler parody about the Hitler parodies being taken down. I have no idea how long will this video be online. So watch it quickly before they take it down.

Maybe we should observe a minute of silence for all the removed Hitler parodies.
