If we add a single effect and edit it to the point where we don't just show the whole episode in the exact order it came in its considered our work. and we'd have the permission from the bands to use their music two correct? then why would it b illigal? I'd love to be paid for my hard work, but then again i'm not quite as skilled as others nor do i have as good of programs as some others, but why shouldn't we get paid? On this site we make it free so we all can enjoy one another's but if a band asks for a amv and offers to pay why shouldn't we accept? just my opinion, but knowing this site unless i get lucky im gonna be bashed by most of the people who respond to this... but if someone that knows more about this it'd be kewl if u tune me in. ^_~
You've obviously never learned a single thing about copyright, 'fair use', or proper english. Can't help you with the last one but if you search for "Are AMVs Illegal" or a similar phrase you'll find plenty of threads on the 'Org covering the subject in detail, to death.
In short, you have no idea what you're talking about and should probably shut up before you possibly mislead others into believing anything you've said.
It seems both of you don't know what you are talking about. Yes, AMV's are protected by law - copyright protected like any other intellectual or artistic work. For this it doesn't matter if they are copyright infringement or not. So they can still be illegal.
