Ripoff Alert!

My computer at work won't play the video, so I can't watch it to comment on it, but I do find this rather amusing. If a guy wants to rip off a 6 year old video that I did in one night, I say go for it

Also, if you pay attention at the beginning, his audio is cut off, just like mine, because I used a broken mp3 that I found on my college network

Doubt I'll be able to say for certain whether or not it is a ripoff of it or not since it's been so long since I've seen Hisen's.... but I have to admit, having 'Unknown' as one of her video sources doesn't lend itself towards disproving this possibility...

Moot point since Kusoyaro essentially gave permission for the footage use a couple posts ago.

This thread is now about how lame the ripoff artist is, and how much the changes they made to the video suck.

Actually, it would be more along the lines of 'absolution' than 'permissions', given it's after the fact. But, semantics aside... I think it's just bad form to have not bothered even figuring out what the 'unknown' shows in the appropriated footage were (DNA^2, and MI were both pretty easy to pick out) or getting the artist even remotely right on the audio.

I watched the video (which reminds me, I never got around to leaving an Op for Kusoyaro...), and yeah, it's a total rip off. They took Kusoyaro's music, his clips, moved them around a bit and threw in a few rather ill fitting ones of their own, along with some MS paint overlays.
