Kuso: "Ordinary people spend their whole lives getting out of tense AMV contests. A video editor spends his time getting into tense AMV contests, but only for the free drinks."

it violates the 16th ammendment, which is in fact 3 times better than the standard 5th ammendment.

Like TemprateRage said, amvs are a kind of advertisement. As a matter of fact, I decided to start collecting two series after seeing amvs that used footage from them: Trigun and Saber Marionette J. Besides, it's not like we're distributing full episodes/movies or anything.

Which is why, while the anime distributors can't endorse the creation of AMV's, have proven quite willing to turn a blind eye to them. Hooray for free advertising. ;)

The Record Industry Asshole Alliance no doubt sees it differently, event though AMV's can and do have the the same effect for music as anime, and large, cumbersome video files are a really lousy way to get hold of a song.
