Yes it's true, the (bloody) French are killing our beloved Teesside Tin Tin. Videos all over the web are disappearing rapidly as the French animation company, Ellipsanime, are flexing their copyright muscles to prevent any of us seeing the foul mouthed little shit!

Try viewing any of the videos on YouTube these days and more often than not you will be presented with a message telling you that the video has been removed due to a copyright claim. One guy, who's YouTube channel listed almost every episode in order has had his account disabled completely due to 'repeated copyright violations'.

Here at The PRT, we're all for artists and companies being able to protect their work, but come on! 10-20 second dubbed clips of a 30 year old cartoon is hardly hard core copyright theft is it?

The good news is Ellipsanime have indicated (by means of silence due to never being contacted by us) that they would love to hear from every Teessider and fan of Teesside Tin Tin, and even invited everyone to flood them with emails demanding they stop their practice of being complete knobheads. In line with their request, it would be wrong of us not to let you know their email.... This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

Have fun! =D
