They can no longer be acquired from ye olde file-sharing networks like Morpheus and Kazaa because those networks don't exist anymore. Bittorrent killed them.
The file-sharing utility I'm on now, I originally discovered back around 2005 (after WinMX, Morpheus, Kazaa, et al. would no longer work on my college network)... and it's still easy to find almost anything you want on it, plus it's always had the goal of spreading content from lesser-known and independent sources. People are still getting old-ass AMVs from me over it.

I obviously can't identify it here due to forum rules, but I'm just saying that such networks definitely are surviving and thriving even today.
Would a private message work?

The Evangelion music video set to "Shook" by Emancipator has disappeared from Youtube. I am now one of the very few people in the world keeping a copy safe.

Well, I tried Scint's file-sharing program, and these are my findings:

- the vast majority of files are .flacc, .cue, .md5, .log, .nfo, and like 500 other useless file types. Why the f**k are these on a file-sharing network?

- there are ten times as many people who have that one Pixies video, and absolutely no others, as there are who have all others put together

- for every ten people who have that one pixies video, there will be one person who has Shonendizzycow's Opus

- Bobo the space monkey has Pink Floyd videos and nothing else

- Arthur@SlSkQt was the one person other than Scint who had videos that I was looking for, though unfortunately he did not have the Kryptonite one

MAJOR GAINS:

Guns 'N' Roses - I used to love her
Weird Al - I Think I'm a clone now
NERV evening news with dan rather (OMG SCINT YOU MADE THIS ONE?!?)
Invader zim - Doom song
Offspring - Pretty fly for a white guy
Europe - Final Countdown
Rob Zombie - Dragula (original, not the Perfect Edition or whatever Jesmaster called it)



I feel like I've taken a time machine to the year 2004!


EDIT: AND TELEPHONE LOVE! And the Mentos commercial! And the Star Wars trailer! OMG OMG OMG... but mostly TELEPHONE LOVE!

Is "Emancipator" the music artist or the AMV editor?

The musician/band, obviously. I never keep track of which editors make which videos unless they include a bumper/watermark or their name is Kevin Caldwell.
