I dont agree with it personally. its just basically "fan made" tributes to th esongs and the anime they love. Ah well.. phade ya could just change the name of the site, everytime a sumons comes up so its wrong every time. eventually changing its name will wear on their nerves and say screw it.

I bet when you compare the people on the a-m-v.org to the people here, the org has the biggest purchasers of music and anime. AMVs give a lot of people more of a need to buy anime and music.. The amount of anime I have got and music has doubled because of AMVs. You can say wether it's wrong or right in your opinion about making AMVs or supporting them.. but a case fact is that it is a great form of advertisement.. I got a great amount of people into anime because of AMVs.. You don't need to like 'em, or agree with what we're doing.. but I don't think your opinion is really going to effect the people that already enjoy them and see them as a great form of advertisment.. Tell me it's not, Just TELL ME IT'S NOT.

I think they were discussing more of the wrongs in rights of AMVs and how they harm and so forth.. not so much the technicalities of them being legal or illegal.
I've mentioned about it not being legal in hundreds of threads. Like I said.. I wasn't arguing over it's legalness.. I was just trying to point out that I don't find it harmful in general thats all.Nestor wrote:x_rex30 wrote:Ummmm.. I know it's illegal.I wasn't trying to say they weren't illegal.

Okay! Now we're making progress! You've admitted that it's not legal!
There's no more need whatsoever for you to be all up in arms over it for any reason.
accept it, and move on.
I must admit, I didn't read much of that thread...Nestor wrote:x_rex30 wrote:I've mentioned about it not being legal in hundreds of threads. Like I said.. I wasn't arguing over it's legalness.. I was just trying to point out that I don't find it harmful in general thats all.
And again, that's not the thrust of the topic.

But like im saying, like othes said, if we used more music without hefty copywriting or any at all, which I havent seen much of, we may see some good AMV's that wont cause as much trouble with the law.
</a>"Likewise a significant defense can be made for some AMVs along the same lines as far as the music is concerned."
"As an AMV creator, you could respond to a cease and desist letter with a reply that says: "fair use". If you didn't hear back from them, then I imagine you can keep distributing. If they say: "no it ain't", then you have to decide how far you want to carry it."
