Anyone else really amused at the idea of a lawyer having to sit through all of those AMVs?

I'd not want to be the lawyer that went through the Hentai contest somewhere else. :lol:

Not really, given the events of 2008 AMV Contest (where the debut of the trailer category ended up getting pulled after the first showing).

Yes, I was there, I know. I still find the idea of a lawyer watching AMVs amusing.

How about the idea of a lawyer, in Phoenix Wright cosplay, watching AMVs?

I think its because the trailer used the official "Approved for all audiences" screen you see with real trailers and that is actually copyrighted as well. Same reason why most amv contests don't allow clips that have audio from American voice actors in it, cause it can potentially lead to legal problems if I guest spots it.
Gimme a minute, I'll make a cool one....

Not to mention that one of the trailers that year included the Warner Bros. logo at the beginning of the video.

Ahhh, okay, that makes sense. Kinda glad I was too lazy to do that "Approve for all..." screen. Either way the screening was today so I guess we'll find out soon who made it and who didn't.

It will be a couple weeks at least (due in part to the need for a lawyer to review the selected videos).
