Didn't feel like unblocking Instagram or allowing flash on that site, so looked for it on Youtube. Nothing funny about it, or interesting really, but here it is if anyone else wanted to see it.

Chappelle didn't get paid, so he bitched and Netflix yanked it. That's the story.

He broke his contract by leaving so they never paid him. CC owns the rights to his show. He has a Netflix deal so they respected his wishes and took it down because it hurt his feelings. He tells everyone to not watch the show because he never got paid for it.
He should get paid for the work he did, but hey also maybe don't break your contracts. He wants people to do what they said they were gonna do, maybe he also should have done what he said he was going to do.

That last contract was huge and I bet there were clauses about what happened if he broke it. I assume that meant he lost rights to his show and no pay.

It's odd to me that the other cast members would go back for the lost episodes if Dave lost the rights to actual everything but then again their contracts may have also been similarly worded. Stiffing Dave hard on the final season I'm fine with but it's pretty brutal if he lost everything.

I don't think it's necessarily even about him owning the show. Most actors/comedians don't get that type of ownership of their shows. This is most likely him losing out on any money for dvd sales, digital sales, etc. I think it's more that he lost his rights to royalties from the show. Like Roseanne doesn't own the Roseanne show and Seinfeld doesn't own Seinfeld.

its on him to negotiate a contract. sounds like he had a shit tier lawyer or worse, he did it himself cuz black people dont want to pay for lawyers.

he wasn't in a position to negotiate shit with that contract, which is why it wasn't great - no one, including him, knew that it would be a seminal work of comedy. Suck, but them the breaks. Both him and viacom are being bitches, but viacom is a bitch within it's rights

Well, when he signed the contract that included the fifty million dollars for season three that he would later walk away from that would have been a good time to claw back / lock in any rights he only had a tenuous grip on.
He also could have just done the shitty season, taken the money and been out.

oh I thought it was a three season contract he signed, didn't realize he had 50 million on stand by if he did another season

I think that's right?

Due to the show's popularity, Comedy Central's new parent company Viacom[5] reportedly offered Chappelle a $55 million contract (giving Chappelle a share of DVD sales) to continue production of Chappelle's Show for two more years while allowing him to do side projects. Chappelle has said that sketches are not his favorite form of comedy,[5] and that the show's format was similar to short films.
I'm not going in any deeper but I'm getting the impression that he gained extra royalties with the new contract and that was the one he flushed.
