As editors(amv editors), are the laws coming pretty close to trampling us? I'm wondering what we're going to do when shit hits the fan. I know this is a touchy topic, and I may expect some sort of negative reaction to this thread. I just want constructive feedback on this issue, what do you think about the uprising on copywrite laws and restrictions. It almost seems as if it's coming close to the time that there going to do something and people who care about this hobby are going to have to take drastic measures. As I've said many times before, AMVs give me more of a need to get DVDs and Music since they have captured my interest in certain songs and movs, and also give me more of a need to get dvds and music for source footage.
There's a lot of anime/music I've bought because of amvs, and if they do stop our ability to work with footage(like putting copy protection on processors) and attack our community of editors, I'll stop having such a thirst for getting DVDs, and that means less money coming out of my pocket, so I guess it's a win win. They wont have to deal with me copying there precious DVDs, and I wont have to be spending money on there products.
Have a read through this. As bum sais, "It's possibly one of the biggest threats to our freedom."
