Personally I wouldn't really care for the following chain of events:
1. The person is doing it to gain recognition
a. while they *might* be able to lie to their family and close friends
making videos in this manner makes it 100% impossible to ever
gain any REAL recognition.
b. if what they're copying is a REALLY GOOD video, it is impossible
NOT for someone to notice and say something. If the video being
copied is only average, then really, it doesn't matter because
neither party can gain true recognition off mediocre work.
c. the greater the video and the more popular it becomes the chance
of the fraud being discovered increases exponentially.
d. once identified as a fraud it is highly doubtful that anyone
will ever respect them as an artist ever again, even if they do
manage to actually improve their own skill.
e. being exposed as a fraud in this manner is the same as a double
edged sword. It's done as a tool to seek recognition and praise,
but the greater ammount of that which is obtained the greater the
chance of the sword swinging back and slicing off the frauds own
head, essentially recieving the exact opposite of praise and
recognition...ridicule, pain, abandonment, hatetred, etc.
f. in the end the only people who might buy into the lie are people
not familiar with this community, the frauds family and close
friends. However it's unlikely that even they would believe it as
the individual probably has a history of lying about their
abilities and even if they did buy into it, it really doesn't
matter, because mommy and daddys opinion about the art of
making AMVs really doesn't count for squat in the real world.
2. The person is doing it to try and attack you
a. they're not seeking any sort of true recognition or praise for
their efforts, the act is done solely to get you upset. If you
get upset and make a big deal out of it, they get what they
want.
b. if you follow the eventual outcome as discussed above they will be
proven a fraud by other people and as long as you don't get too
directly involved all their efforts wind up smashing right back in
their face. Just remember, don't get angry, just poke fun at them
for doing it, it'll turn the tables right around on them REAL quick
if you start pointing your finger and laughing at them with the
rest of the class rather than stom up and down screaming for
the teacher to come and wipe your ass for you.
