AMV Sighting at Fry's

Today I was walking down the aisle at the Seattle Fry's and noticed an AMV playing on a flat-LCD monitor. It was Aluminum's Lain video, Try.

The playlist was also onscreen. It had Tainted Donuts, Pokemon Fight Club, Shameless Rock Video, and Lostboy's Hungry Like the Wolf.

If I ever get a job at Best Buy or similar place, I'll have to remember that.

But is that even wise or legal? I mean it's one thing for us to even have this site and have ppl download it, but now a *commercial* business is playing them? I think that in itself might bring a little too much attention to our already grey hobby.

Who's going to see an AMV being played at BestBuy and wonder if it's legal?

Back when I was in high school and working at Blockbuster, I used to make 2-hour tapes of AMVs and "real" band videos to play later at night after the real managers left.

Ya never know man. Bestbuy's in particular are just about everywhere. At the same time, the probability that an artist or anime company being at that particular Bestbuy and then seeing their video/song on the tv/computer are slim, but the chance still exists yes? And then there's the RIAA and we all know they're just bitches. I'm sure they go to Bestbuys to buy their consumer electronics just like everyone else. Sure unlikely, but still a non-zero percentage probability.

There's a chance that they might just walk into your house one day and see your AMVs too you know |:
