We don't like to anger people.

For that reason alone, you should be more than willing to comply with this site's rules.
"If someone feels the need to 'express' himself or herself with a huge graphical 'singature' that has nothing to do with anything, that person should reevaluate his or her reasons for needing said form of expression, possibly with the help of a licensed mental health practitioner."

If someone doens't find a dvd-rip on my site that dones't mean they're gonna go buy the dvd, they will still get it elsewhere. i dont think taking down my dvd rips would get anyone to buy dvds they'd just use kazaa or other p2p crap
i don't think it has to do with people getting them... the problem is you are supplying them... people like you are how people get illegal copies... so what if they get it from someone else? that's oneless bootleger.

bottom line is, this site in no way encourages people to buy bootleg material or bootleg them yourself. There are a set of morals and rules here, if you can't agree to them, then leave.

But making an AMV is clearly illegal when you put it up for download. :?

Yeah, but the discussion isn't about legality, its about following the a-m-v.org site rules.

*sigh*

This is really very simple.

The org does not allow links to sites that provide bootlegs, warez or pirated goods of any kind. Having the link in your profile is a violation of this rule.

That's all there is to it. Plain and simple.

As for your videos showing the website name... well, I'm not sure. Technically it's not a direct link or anything like that so I'm not going to make a judgement on that aspect.

Sure you can, just delete his indirect linked videos. If he wants to share his videos so bad, then upload them to the donut, he's already done that with most of his video.

You = teh win.

I wasnt talking about that, I was talking about the fact that his videos contain an ad for his site (in bumpers or whatever).

The indirect links, of course, will have to go as this is another example of linking to a site which contains bootleg material which is against the org rules.

Either your blatently lying or have no idea what they are talking about. The first half of your videos are indirect links.
