Um, this is getting to be pretty hard for Mencia to explain away...

Carlos Mencia and Bobby Lee weigh in on the feud.

Techdirt discusses the irony of the DCMA taking the side of Mencia, who allegedly plagiarized other comedians' acts, against Joe Rogan, who exposed Mencia.
Also, this video actually works (for now):

***Update***
Joe Rogan got banned from the Comedy Store as a result of the video. Luckily Joe has his gig as a UFC commentator and other venues to perform comedy to fall back on.
Mencia might have won this battle, but it will be interesting to see if his credibility can remain intact in the long-term. For that matter, I'd like to hear his perspective on all of this.
(This video is the one that the DMCA had taken down)
My brother and I enjoyed watching the first season of The Mind of Mencia, but then his stuff started getting old and repetitive to the point where I would change the channel if his program came on. I noticed that others felt similarly about the show. Why had Mencia's show started off with such a bang and then fizzled out?
Joe Rogan's account of his on-stage confrontation with Mencia gives the reader a possible explanation.
Did Mencia, or "Ned", really steal some of his material? Why is he not forthcoming about his non-Mexican heritage?
The video and Rogan's entry are undoubtedly biased against Mencia, but after reviewing the video I am left questioning the integrity of Mencia and his material.

I was halfway through watching it at school but my connection played out so I came home to finish watching it...
