Protecting X-Phile Sites on the Web
Stop the Conspiracy - Mulder Would!
On Friday, October 25, the day of the premiere of FOX's heavily promoted new show Millennium, Gil Trevizo, a member of the X-Phile community, received a cease-and-desist order concerning the Unofficial Millennium site he had donated his hours to creating. When the order was not immediately followed, his web access was frozen, forbidding this college student who maintains several X-Phile mailing lists access to either the web or his email account.
X-Philes, upset by this insult, and fearful that this was just the first step in a campaign by FOX against all unofficial websites, flooded the company with emails protesting their actions, even managing to crash FOX's email server. But to no avail ...
Despite all of Gil's efforts to negotiate with David Oaks, the FOX representative, there would be no compromise. The site came down Monday, October 28, and FOX won this battle.
But this seems not to be the end of the story. In fact, hints have come to light that this may just be the first step in a FOX Network campaign to end the existence of unofficial web sites for their shows ... a test case to see the response on the web.
We intend to give them a response, all right - we intend to fight.
Why a company would insult its fans by forcing down sites that for many are a labour of love, showing their loyalty to the shows and the characters they enjoy, is beyond us. It is becoming clear that this is not just a matter of either copyright or trademark ... but that FOX execs want complete and total control over how every facet of their company is portrayed on the Internet. If we cannot reach a peaceful conclusion, we are willing to fight.
As you may see Fox is shutting down all the Unofficial Homepages of The X-Files, X-Philes and Millenium.
We the X-Philes are not going to let that happen. If you have an X-Files Homepage and want to join the protest downlowad any of the images and put them in your Homepage
