footage stealing --Has this ever happened to you?

[Lyrs]

i had this idea of using 5 second footages from some of my favorite AMV's and then turning it into a video.

Of course, i was going to do something like a promotional video like: Flashing the Video Creator's Name and then showing some awesome scene/effect that they did.

And then in the end, I was going to show something like "All clips in this video can be found at www.animemusicvideos.org along with the vid creators names. But i didn't get to it yet. It's still an idea.

So i was going to do that...except that I couldn't contact some of the AMV creator's because they had "gone outta buisiness" or something so i couldn't get their permission.

Anyway, when i get to that idea, expect some emails from me. But it's likely goign to be like in a year or two. So don't worry yet.

Watch for klinky. All his videos? Just stolen footage from other AMVs. He's a horrible thieving bastard!

@silvermoon - good points, but I figure like it or not, it's going to happen. If someone wants to take credit for my Digi effects, whatever. as far as cuts and sequences, i figure that 1: either they dont have access to the anime, or 2: they do, but are looking for ways to cut time.. which are both fine. hopefully, they can do it themselves, and if not? oh well, I just inadvertantly helped someone.

Wake up people. Perhaps if you step off your high horses and realise that you dont ALWAYS need CREDIT for EVERYTHING you do, you'll realise that this isn't a big deal.

What about stealing your editing?

Like if they took your video, replaced your bumper and titles with their own...
