Video-Stealing from a-m-v.org to go to Cons

This forum is for the general discussion of Anime Music Videos.

If you were protective with your amv to the extreme you could do a small overlay of your name or some on a couple of frames where it wouldn't be obvious when when you watch it. That way you can prove it to be your video and it is difficult to remove. Aluminum studios does this on a couple of his vids but I think resorting to this kind of stuff is really unnessasary and more of a protective ego thing... IMO

Someone did come onto the forums one time and said that someone had downloaded their video and submitted it as their own.

The problem with that was the guy didn't actually go to the con himself.

He had read the contest listing and there was a video with the same song and anime as his. He had said someone else had told him that it was his but he wasn't even there firsthand.

Turns out he emailed the con person and they told him it was not his (a lot of preliminary contest showings omit creator names) so...he came back and apologized.

Another urban legend debunked :D

That way, if someone happened to steal your video by downloading it, there will be a clear quality difference and people will know that you were the real editor. yep...


Agreed; I'm thinking about doing that for a potential ACen submission. You can also shuffle things around a bit to differentiate it from the online distro, and make those changes clear to any curious con personnel.

Although, on a slightly different note, I'd actually be honored to have one my videos stolen. It'd mean that somebody actually thought that my work was good enough to steal.

Which is kinda cool.

During one of the old MindWarp Contests, someone submitted a perfect blue video with the linkin park song cure for the itch.

When I viewed it, it turned out to be Joe Croasdaile's NIN Perfect Blue video done to a different song.

I wrote him a nice little email and then told Joe about it. Joe's reaction as rather comical :wink:
