Now that the org is back up I can ask my question. I was surfing my usual p2p program and downloaded an interesting AMV. I started watching and noticed something very disturbing…It was using footage that was created by me. That irked me to some content but here’s the kicker. The video itself was about 3 minutes long but it had a whole 10 minutes on the player’s clock. I let the bastard creation play on and all of a sudden I start hearing the song, almost the entire song that was on my video. Now I’m not one to blow up over a little footage of mine was being used, but not even removing all of the song that I used…either they have very little or no real brain power or they don’t know what the hell they doing. Oh well, enough ranting. So what I want to ask is this:
Has anything like this ever happen to anyone else?
Shouldn’t just be basic netiquette that they ask the person that went to all the trouble of creating the footage to use before they start using other people’s footage? I mean if the of the original creator has website or an email address is sitting there right at the beginning of the video you’d think they’d have half a mind to take a little bit of time to ask if they could use the footage? Maybe it’s just the principal of it all. I could also stir up other thoughts in my head but the hell with it; I’ll save those thoughts for another day.
