Serious AMV query
How would you, as an AMV creator feel if you found out that people were publicly displaying your works without even a single thought for consideration or editor approval? I don’t mean small things like a group of friends over at someone’s house, I am referring to real public events. Lets say for instance a 200-300 person LAN party at a local arena. Especially for an editor such as Vlad who will put hundreds of hours of work into just one video, to then have it taken and displayed without consent!
I know my thoughts on the subject, but I would like to hear yours.

I don't really know, I guess it would bother me. but in a way i would kind of like it. Most of my vids have bumbers that give my email address and othe info about me so i would kind of look at it like free pub. now my best work that i have made doesn't have a bumper so if that one got played, yeah it would piss me off, cause i wouldn't get any credit. I guess as long as my contact info and my name is in the tile i don't care.

Here are my thoughts. This is a personal thing, IMO, so I don't expect anyone to have to conform to this. Everyone feels a different way.
If I release a video to the public, I mean for it to be viewed (and hopefully enjoyed) by others. I would like it if I knew who was watching, just out of curiosity, but we don't have that as it is - we don't get names on downloads, unless people op a video. So it would be nice if people asked, but I wouldn't get pissy about just that. I mean, it's essentially thrown into the public anyway by having a non-passworded download link. There's not much difference to me between 200 people downloading a vid, and 200 people seeing it on a screen.
As long as nobody takes credit for my work (underline, big type, surround with stars, marquee, and annoying sound effect) then I consider this a good thing.
I'm the simple type who just likes making and sharing vids. I'm in it to have fun and trade with other people. So that's my take.

I guess I'll post my thoughts.
Me personally, I wouldn't be totally pissed. But disappointed, yes. I kind of feel as a member of a community that others should simply ask permission. It takes 2 seconds to type a nice post requesting videos for public display; yes I'm glad people like them, maybe it's just me, but since take so much time and consideration entering you, it's a matter of respect for the art to simply request permission. Besides I don't known and editor one that would turn down a logical request from a fan. Just my 2¢

I don't see a reason to be angry if people decide to exhibit your work. I mean, I certainly wouldn't care if my videos were displayed at cons, regardless if I knew about it or not. It's not I have anything to lose from their screening.
It would be nice to know about it after the fact, of course, so that I can take sadistic pleasure in the immense pain that the exhibitors must have subjected their audience to.
