Too much pride, maybe, but they never made a practice of preaching "what you do is crap, stop caring about it."

Actually you're taking the wrong message. The message is "what THE PLAGIARIZERS are doing is crap, stop caring about it". I don't recall anyone seriously saying it was good that people claim credit for videos they didn't make.

In this thread, maybe. But I've seen plenty of people posting comments such as "you're stealing someone else's footage and music, you're just as bad as them, get over yourself" and "you cut up cartoons in your free time, go stick your head in a toilet and flush."

If she doesn't shave for a few days she could pass as a guy and if you think about it, who cares if she'd like it or not? You never met the woman so I doubt you care and I know I don't. Which means 2/3 the participants would be happy and two out of three ain't bad. So come on, marry me. I'll even get you a pair of those cute harem girl type pants.

And to a certain extent it's true. AMVs aren't like other art forms that were mentioned. A fanfic author doesn't use the original creators writing, he just bases his stores in that fictional universe. Ditto for fanartist, the characters are someone elses idea but that art is all them. AMVs on the other hand use the ideas, music, and artwork of others. We clearly add our own ideas and originality but from a purely plagiaristic point of view we steal more from the original than other fan hobbies. Does this mean AMVs are inherently bad or something to be ashamed of? Of course not, I wouldn't be here if I thought so. But it does mean it's very hypocritical of us to steal so much that technically what we do is illegal but turn around and whine about being stolen from. I understand why people get ticked someone on the tube put up their work unattributed but if they get so pissed that they'll turn around and bitch about it here, on a totally different site, as if it was a high crime then they really need to evaluate the ethical and legal implications of what they're doing.
