[quote]To get your footage from a DVD, you have to CRACK the copy protection on the disc with a DVD decryption program.
Pretty much the same as putting a crack on some kind of software because you are breaking through a protection to use the sources. [/quote]
Illegal, yes. Immoral? Hell no.

Side Question: Does that mean that using a Video Capture card is legal, while ripping from the DVD straight is illegal? Because you aren't cracking the protection with a Video Capture card...

I think that using anime falls squarely into "fair use" of copyright, so no worries there. I'd be a little worried about Trademark violations though, but I dunno anything about trademarks.

Using the music is fine... distributing the music is probably illegal though.

the warning on discs down under states "avoiding the copy protection on this disc is illegal" it therefore doesn't matter how you get around it.
But our laws also allow us to use up to 10% of anothers work for non profit means and not get nabbed. <_>

Yeah, like Aut said, any way you do it would still be illegal.
You would still be duplicating a copyrighted source without permision from the copyright holders.
Most music video editors don't have anything to worry about though unless they are going around selling their videos or something.

I know Koop is wanted in over 20 states for selling his videos.
He charged me $300 for a "special edition" of his Skittles video.
The only thing differen't about it was that it included a 2 minute bonus of him singing the song. >.>
I still haven't got my money back.

You got lucky. You didn't have to see what he included in the "special edition" that *I* ended up with.......

Maybe it just doesn't like you.

Anyways, I do believe that somehow AMVs probably fall in a grey area of fair use...although, large companies probably don't think so. But I bet if AMVs were helping them to get more customers they wouldn't mind...wait a minute. How many of us have gotten interested in musical artists or anime because we saw/heard them in an AMV? I know I sure have, if it wasn't for RoS3 I wouldn't have fallen in love with Sigur Ros. And I even bought the Karas DVDs because the scenes I saw in AMVs got me interested in it. Maybe if we can somehow use this plea to big wig companies...
