Are we braking copywrite laws by making and downloading AMVs? Are we puting outselvs in jeopardy. Are there any legal protections we can take.

What do you guys think?

Answers(in order):

Technically yes.
No.
Ask all companies that own rights to the anime and music for permission.
We don't care, we're still making videos.

Yes we are braking the copyright laws:
Because we are using songs and video without legal permision from the artists.

But NO because:
We are not making profit out of it.
If we were making money out of our videos then it would be illegal and we would have to give part of the money to the copyright owners.

JEOPARDY???
NO because it is impossible fo them to track ALL the creators of the AMVs.
We are too many.

I hear commissions from AD Vision work pretty well.

(However, I also hear that those videos can't, like, ever be distributed apart from the DVDs they're on.)

Don't do this. The companies are obliged to say no (defense of copyright) and it increases the (slim) chance they will come after you.

. I wouldn't worry about it too much - unless you didn't make your AMV from
a DVD ( which is why this ORG states such a construction in the Guides. )

. Captured material usually has a watermark from the TV station - don't do it.
--This one, we CAN get burned-on!--
WaterMarks, ABC, FoxBX, Sci-Fi, BBC and others have faught in court - and won!

. Using a CD/Album/Tape over something downloaded has a few
problems with how you re-encode it - and it sounds horrable ( Don't use downloaded
MP3's ) The Audio Track is way too easy to screw-up when an MP3 is used!

. The funny thing is, 48% of the people don't know these rules because they
think that their-right's cover themselves while the other 48% don't totally understand
but live within these ser boundries.
---at 4% of the AMV'ers not caring, its pretty easy for the AudioPhiles to weed
them out - we can hear the differance and you will be tossed-out fo the ORG.
