It's technically not your footage/music. You can't put copyrights on videos, because you're using somebody else's anime and somebody else's song, and making an AMV. If you put a copyright on your video, a real copyright, then you could probably get sued by both the anime creator and the song creator.
I must admit that's a pretty bizzare attitude to take. "I can use their stuff, which I admit is illegal, but someone else can't use mine, because that's morally indefensable".

I must be getting old. I can actually remember when AMV makers put the effort into making AMV's and helping each other as a community, instead of fighting each other tooth and nail over their own pseudo-trademarked property rights.

I'll tell you why I'd have a problem with it.
There's a section on the last full video I made where I had to actually draw characters myself because there weren't scenes with appropriate shots of the characters.
Now if someone used that footage in their own amv without asking, I'd be very annoyed. Some scenes I had to animate myself frame by frame, it's not like they are using footage that was originally in the anime, in lots of my videos a large amount of the footage is changed in some way. In the video I was just talking about over 95% of the frames in the video are composited by me and can't be found in the original anime.
So, yes, if someone took that footage without asking me I'd be more than a little annoyed given the amount of time I took drawing, pasting and animating things myself.

I am not talking about overlaying or fading, just some regular scenes here and there. Nothing special. Not like 30 secs worth;just a few secs from multiple videos. and not using just 1 or 2 vids. I wanted to know this before I tried anything like it.
