What if AMVs were made legal?

[gotegenks]

i'm not exactly sure how or if this is possible, but what if some magic lawsuit ended up making AMV editing/uploading legal.

would it be awesome? would the industry grow? maybe anime companies would pay editors (probably not someone off the Org) and advertise with amvs. Maybe the industry would grow and there would be degrees branching off of general video editing colleges. I think a lot more americans would be into anime...although there's a ton now.
i just imagine high school classes or clubs and AMV-Cons growing in popularity, all this cool shit happening.

for some reason i just imagine an editor on some talk show. Actually, what comes to mind is the scene from Gamer where the bad guy (dexter or w/e) is on that talk show.

would it be awesome? Or would we have to obtain licenses, pay for uploads, have to go through minor (or major) legal shit to do the crap we do now illegally.

what complications would there be to it. Lists of artists/record companies that allow it, or anime companies for that matter. In that case, what kind of anime company would allow it? Gainax level stuff or like 3rd rate borderline yaoi shit companies.

it's nice to daydream about in chemistry, but don't know if want

I dunno what you are talking about. I claim fair use as the basis for all my actions. I feel I'm quite within the legality. The only way to prove me wrong is to take me to court.

There have actually been AMV editors from this site hired by anime companies to make official AMVs. The main examples that leap to mind are the Noir Omake videos that Kusoyaro, AbsoluteDestiny, dokidoki, and Nightowl made for the last disc of Noir.

I'd make boxsets of my videos and charge millions.

I never knew of this. Why in the world don't we have a local for these videos? And the south one isn't even listed in the catalog.

Prolly has to do with the fact that they were specifically edited for the DVD as an actual job and they can't put it here due to some contractual restriction of sort... I wouldn't know, ask doki I guess.

I wish Anime Works would hire some GOOD editors to do the "amvs" they have on some of their discs :/

And I'll collect the reward money for turning you in

But this would be in a world where amvs are legal!
