This is the "street bum" syndrome at work. Like when a person bugs someone for money on the street.
It's annoying to the person being bugged, because much of the time they either have a job/are clever enough/just lucky and know the right people to get their money, and someone asking for it for free, without offering anything in return, is a pain in the ass. The person asking for money usually gets one of the following:
1. Nothing
2. "Get a job, you bum" (real world possible circumstances not applying to my analogy)
3. MAYBE a piddly hand out.
And if you live in a city like mine, with a lot of street people, it becomes fucking annoying when you're pestered multiple times a day.
So apply this to the subject at hand, getting free clips. The analogy stays the same. The people being bothered have, dollars to donuts, either ripped their own footage from media they bought, know people who will do it for them (and THEM ALONE), or found that magic website of high quality anime footage that either doesn't exist in the real world or is a total pain in the ass to find and is in constant danger of being shut down for using too much bandwidth. Considering all this, it is no wonder that many of them are not inclined to share.
It is easiest, and best, to invest the time, money, and trouble involved in being able to rip and edit your own DVDs. Likely no one will help you with your clips "problem", and no one HAS to. Only YOU have the power to do so.

Perhaps the money he gets is already spent on having a social life, or buying things he can't download, and wants the hobby but can't afford it. Not everyone has these luxuries you seem to have...

Maybe he should take some money out of ricing up his ride or buying a eminem CD and get some DVDs(not actually implying that hixix does the above, or even has money for that even).
Let's flip it around, I have DVDs, but I also want to get my car working and have a social life :O, but with out paying for it? How's that going to work?
If he wants to use good footage, he gets off his ass and goes and gets the DVDs or, he once again, gets off his ass and learns how to pirate anime.
The problem is these people have no clue.
First is starts with anime.
Then it's what editor OMG ? Where do I get it? Kazaa don't work on my computer? Can't you just send it to me?
Wait this is two hard? Where's the easy buttons on this thing?
Can't you just tell me how to do that?
Whoa this file is so big? How do I make it smaller like totally?
Okay where do I put it? Who has FREE hosting for me?
Who actually made the AMV during that process?![]()
