Yes, that I consider immoral... Nothing illigal about making them... Yes, distributing them technically (but we still don't make a dime from that), but making money from them is in my books...

Anyway in the first place amv's are considered grayish. If you don't make a profit. You put in credits or on the information page give credit to the artist/ anime series. Then it's a little iffy if that's illegal or not, since downloading music is illegal in the first place. Then there is the fact that if you do sell your amv's you are really doing something wrong.

That was for deleting the whole video entry because I had requested them delete my old videos like probably almost a year ago and they're still there now

You know the funny thing is that the majority of people reading this thread probably wouldn't have known or paid attention to the contest otherwise.

ssj-- A thought here instead of just tossibg back sarcastic remarks.. stop and think about what is being said.. to make it real simple for ya.

Someone owns this website.. (just like you own yours)

The owner has made certian rules about what is allowed on this site
(Just like you have on yours)

That person has entrusted others (like AD) to enforce those rules.

AD made a determination ( a rather fair one in my opion, not that mine or ultimatley anyone other than Ad's opion matters in this case) that you contest and other links violate the rules he was trusted to enforce.

I noticed your site has a "blacklist" section where you call out those who violate your rules as well as a moderated message board, So i presume that you are familair witht he concepts in action here.

Finally I'll make the suggestion that you consider removing the rips from your site because quite frankly you'll get sued long before the org does, and your disclaimer about backups and that police & record company employees not being allowed to access your site holds no legal water whatsoever, and i ssupect that you really can't afford to defend yourself from whatever suits they may file.
