stealing on youtube

[nommay]

I tell them that they are amazingly talented, and that it's pretty much the best thing I've ever seen in my life.

this should end the same way too.

everyone complains about this like it happens all the time...i've never seen one of my videos stolen, and i've only seen it happen at all like twice.

does it really happen that much? how do you happen to find your stolen videos?

more on topic, have you ever put your own bumpers on a video consisting of copyrighted anime and music?

People jacking my shit on youtube is awesome. The bands get increased visibility, I don't have to do any actual work, and someone else has to eat any copyright aggro. It doesn't happen that often, but when it does, the only reaction is to chuckle that someone else is a) so desperate for attention that they'll do my work for me and b) so lacking in judgment as to jack my stuff for attention when they could be stealing from someone popular.

but stealing from someone popular will only get you hoards of haters (fans of the popular editor) and start flame wars on the stolen video page, so there's no sense in stealing from someone popular... (I've seen videos like Jihaku ripped off though, maybe flamers are the reason that they were instantly taken down O.o)

As for the question of "how do you find the stolen videos?" sometimes they show up in the related of your own video, the easy way is to go looking for the same anime/song combo either on youtube or on google.

One of the videos that had only replaced the audio my friends and I found because the person tried to enter the same contest as us. There's a few ways of finding these things.

I once had someone ask me if he could steal my amv. He asked me if i could modify it so it says "dedicated to <girlfriend's name>" at the beginning.
I thought it was so hilarious that I actually did it.
