As for this site, I've bought 3 anime full-seasons (NGE,Chobits,ChronoCrusade) and 7 CD's just from seeing this site, so I think it is not only a beautiful site for AMV, but also a killer advertisement site.


Again, I am ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS broke. I have no job, and believe me when I say no one would hire me anyway. If I HAD the money to support said artists, I'd buy every album they ever made (providing it didn't suck). And unless any of YOU are gonna give me money, I don't think I'll be able to buy ANYTHING anytime soon! I don't even get an allowance. And don't start going on about "saving my money for thing" because I can't save what I never have to begin with!

Where do you get those things? Anyway, I know other people who do the same thing I do. It's in my opinion that if ripping the music off of an AMV isstealing, so is downloading the AMV itself, as the AMV has the track in it anyway. I'm not trying to justify anything here, I just wanted to know everyones opinion on this. I don't want anyone (especially myself) to be insulted over anything. If we could be mature about this, please? As much as I'd like to buy the CDs, I can't. Let's leave it at that.

my opinion is that until you write a good reason why you think its not wrong other then your supposed empty pockets and the neo nazi employers im inclined to think that its not right.

I'm not calling anyone a Nazi, I don't see why YOU are! And the reason no one will hire me is because I'm lazy. I'm not getting a job until I NEED one. And since I don't NEED one, it's not happening anytime soon. Besides, it's not like I do this with every AMV, some of the songs suck... If all you guys like to do is bash people, I suggest you go elsewhere with you opinions... Try AE or DefCon... Don't get me wrong, I KNOW this is "stealing" as you put it, but so is downloading AMVs. The truth is, there is no lesser of two evils here short of doing neither, and if tat happened, we'd have no site. The only reason I rip the music off of AMVs is so I can listen to them in other places without having to move my computer, or so I can listen to them on my computer without using so much of my sucky processor. The problem with the internet is that everyone assumes that everyone else is rich.

That there folks is a load of shit. There's always SOMEONE who'd hire you, believe me. Try telemarketing for some quick cash, if you don't quit after one month, they'll fire you anyways.

your justification for ripping music off AMVs doesn't hold. just because another step in the process is illegal/possibly unethical doesn't make the music-ripping step OK.

is it ethical to rip music off AMVs? if you're doing it to avoid paying CDs or otherwise compensating the artist + production company, then no, it's wrong.

Most definitely, the artists that make this music earn a living off this content, that is like me coming to your job and ripping off half of your paycheck. Almost all content in my AMVs is ligitimate content that I have spent years collecting legally, so not only are you ripping off the artists, but you are also thumbing your nose at every editor out there that has a conscience.

Sounds to me like you don't NEED to listen to music either since you can't be bothered to pay for it. :roll:
