Apparently, a lawyer representing Bill Cosby contacted the folks over at Channel 101 with a cease and desist order for their awesome animated show House of Cosbys. Now all four original episodes are being taken offline (as of 5 pm, 6/28/05) and the fifth and final episode (which was shown at the monthly Cinespace screening) will not be available anywhere online. This is really a sad turn of events. You would think someone like Bill Cosby, who claims to be a comedian, would have a better sense of humor about something like this. Channel 101 is a non-commercial website and no one was making any money off Cosby's likeness (that I know of)... I submitted this to Boing Boing and they've put a link up, so hopefully someone will seed a torrent of the episodes (including number 5?) soon.

UPDATE: Behold the power of BoingBoing: torrent 1, torrent 2. Just episodes 1-4, though. No episode 5, yet.
