you sure?
Last time I checked, ops could be given to any video, but only star ratings and quick comments could be given to local downloads.

It now almost December, so it's time to get to creative juices flowing once again so more new and awesome videos for next year...
Yet kids love culture, as we all do. And their love of copyrighted and trademarked characters helps make those characters valuable, just as the creators' inspiration and skill have. Consider if no child loved Dora the Explorer; how valuable would the copyrights and trademarks in the character actually be? Not very. Yet the love and obsession of fans do not garner any "property rights" in the character or any rights at all, according the (copyright) maximalists.

Amy Lee of Evanescence has seen and enjoyed at least one of the videos to her band's music here (I believe it was at A-Kon 2002 or 2003 before the band got big; check the video info).

More likely it's corporate policy to go after anything brought to their attention.

I really appreciate all that you do and put up with when things like this come up. However, I would like to suggest that when big issues like this creep up and affects all of us (that is the AMV community), it would be wise to post the news of this material on the main page of the site.
I don't think that is a wise idea at all.. well if you give the whole story at the main page of the site.. some asshole visiting the site could easily run into that and think it would be funny trying to contact the bands for the same reason.. I know plenty of people who would do that just to piss people off. I just personally don't think it's a good idea..
Sounds reasonable .... anyway, just a passing thought .
better them than us. -_- Meh I don't know.. I just know some jack asses who have f'ed up sites before.. that's all...rubyeye wrote:rubyeye wrote:x_rex30 wrote:rubyeye wrote:Phade,

I take back what I said...looks like ANN just posted the whole news on their website. So much for that.

I wonder if they'd risk being ceased and desisted (or worse) . . . somehow I doubt it. You've got a crowd of thousands paying to get into an event where this music is being used as entertainment. Ouch.
