AMVs were around longer than local downloads or the org itself. If worst came to worst the community would return to the mailing lists, LJ, and other underground decentralized areas. Anyways, we have a ways to go before that happens.SuperFusion wrote:With the responses I've seen, it seems uploading is as or more important than the AMV itself to people.Rozard wrote:This doesn't mean it's the end of AMVs.

People are still gonna bitch. So it really doesn't matter what the Org does.Corran wrote:AMVs were around longer than local downloads or the org itself.

Perhaps, but a centralized download site isn't the main purpose of this site, and its absence won't dissolve the AMV community. There are other means of distribution aside from the Donut. AMVs have been made and distributed before the Org existed, and I'm sure they will be still if this site ever were to go offline.SuperFusion wrote:With the responses I've seen, it seems uploading is as or more important than the AMV itself to people.Rozard wrote:This doesn't mean it's the end of AMVs.

On another note, I think this is a completely retarded move on the label's part. It has no, I repeat, NO benefit for them given that those interested in pirating music aren't going to use anime music videos to do it (hence no increase in sales). I mean, imagine downloading 12 AMVs, removing the footage, then compiling the audio, why the fuck go through the trouble when there are a million other places that do that for you? All this can do is get people upset with them.
I see no practical reason for the music industry to care, in fact it's downright assholish for anyone to do instigate like this. If anything, AMVs are like the radio and act as advertisement.

The best effects are the ones you don't notice.
