I would email bomb anyone who "clipped" footage from any of FtR...
That series is probably the "key to my soul" as an amv editor. The fun, the excitement, the "fanservice", the seizures, some drama, comedy, EVERYTHING!! Everything I love about amvs exists in "Feel the Rhythm".
Footage is fine, but if I see any effects using the SAME footage/effects timing as any of my vids (direct/blatant obvious ripoffs that prove no creativity whatsoever), heh, let's just hope I don't find that person's ip from my college cpu or his email address. (I've known to be very vengeful should something offend me personally...)
Though we can't say amvs our "ours" in rights or owning, amvs are works of free art. Art for display. Nobody with respect / manners would do something such as what's been mentioned here. To steal someone's painting and call it there own is pretty much the same as stealing an amv someone spent several weeks of time to make.
In other words, such assholes these amv thieves be.
"It's not their own, they're stealing from the companies". Let's see these f**kers try to make their own videos when they realize they've been branded as losers... (and when they try to work with a hacked cpu and several email bombings from random locations throughout America...)
