Should I care?
« on: May 08, 2007, 06:23:06 PM »
The most popular sound board on www.soundboard.com is the soundboard on telemarketer prank calls.  In that soundboard, they're using 3 of my telemarketer pranks without my permission.  Should I care?  Should I demand that the site place a link to phonelosers.org?  Should I get the site owner's phone number and prank call him mercilessly?  Or should I just be flattered that my stuff is getting listened to a lot?

At least they're not hotlinking to my clips.  Though that might be funnier since I'd be able to change them to something crazy or obscene.

From their FAQ:

Aren't soundboards used to make prank phone calls ?
Traditionally yes but that is NOT what our site is about. We are redefining what a soundboard is and trying to bring it into the mainstream. Prank phone calls are great - if you're 13 years old.

Our site is designed to be a 'library of sound' we think the 'soundboard' is a terrific media to deliver short and entertaining sound bites you can explore and share.

Soundboards aren't for prank calls anymore - they are for SOUND. All types of sounds from Churchill to kids to music and travel.


First they point out that I'm about as mature as a 13-year-old.  Then they proclaim that soundboards are no longer for prank calls.  But then their top sound board is for prank phone calls!  They need to be pranked immediately.

these are user made sound boards. The faq doesn't really apply.

Soundboards are retarded unless they're actually able to convince people like RBCP's to that podcast guy. 99% of all soundboard calls I've ever heard have sucked horribly.

Also it's really lame how they pretend not to be interested in prank calls when that's clearly what they are used for.

Soundboards are awesome. Especially on the voice bridge.

You should be flattered.

  Amen, brother.

But do you have ample parking? That is the question.

Guess I can consider it payback for all the unauthorized sounds and music I use on PLA Radio.

That's a fond PLA tradition.
