This spring has been amazing. It's like all the stuff we planted last year is blossoming. So glad to see they got busted.

Just Machinema is getting slapped for this? What about others networks and independent youtube channels, will they get slapped for this in the future? Also does anyone still have the list of parpicitants of the XB1M13 scam?

Machinima might be the biggest, so the others might be coming later, or they're too small financially for it to be cost effective, given the department's budget.
