For your next challenge, you must cross the fair-use tightrope before the DMCA projectiles knock you into the mud

Before there was ABC’s “Wipeout,” the new series featuring contestants competing in slapstick physical contests in the style of a Japanese game show, there was “MXC,” a cult hit on Spike that used original footage from one of those Japanese game shows and overdubbed it with humorous commentary from members of the Groundlings comedy troupe. “MXC” has been airing since 2003, so when the promos for “Wipeout” started showing up, featuring pratfalls on goofy obstacle courses accompanied by humorous commentary, the “MXC” creators felt ripped off. To make the point, Executive Producer Larry Strawther uploaded a one-minute video to YouTube earlier this month comparing scenes from the “Wipeout” promo with remarkably similar scenes from “MXC” along with some related Internet commentary.
