Stolen AMV

Post by Esc » Fri Sep 08, 2006 11:51 am

Hi All!

I represent the russian community of amv-makers named AKROSS. We are pretty pissed off at a guy known as quazza97. I sent an e-mail about his actions to a-m-v.org's admins a week ago but seems like nobody's home. So at least I want to create some negative publicity for this guy.

quazza97 is a thief! He's stolen a work of our member NetTroop studio. Here is the original video: Alucard's party, uploaded: 2004. And here is something quazza97 claims to be his amv: Max Hellsing, uploaded: 2006. Featuring: cut off credits, bigger size and DivX logo.

Please notice how much he is bragging about it. He spent 120+ hours and used 8 different programs just to cut off the credits and introduce the DivX logo. He also wrote the music himself. Impressive! No wonder after all the hard work he sent this amv to a competition.

Does this guy have no shame at all?

It could have gone unnoticed if he didn't get somehow 14 opinions with almost all 10's (better score than the original amv!) and made his way to Top 10% Videos next to such people as VicBond007 and Pianos. Buddy system in action? I don't know. The original video didn't find its way to top 10% being better quality and all.

Now to the funny part. Qazza97 hasn't noticed that the guys from the NetTroop studio created a vanity easter egg putting the name of their studio on the rim of the spinning pentagram. Check it out! It still says NetTroop in "his" video.

While I was waiting for the admins' answer quazza97 has uploaded 4 new "works"! 2 of them are sibtitled versions of Whisper Of The Beast by Scorpions Ultd (is this guy some sort of russ-o-philiac?). I am failing to contact the guys from Scorpions Ultd so far. But I have serious doubts that he has their permission for cutting off one third of the video keeping only "the juicy part".

Other 2 recent works are nothing I know about. But since they feature "his own custom edited music" I'd recommend everybody to check them. You might find your own vid.

I did not contact quazza97 in any form. I didn't want him to silently remove the entry. When you catch a thief you don't want him to just put back whatever you caught him with. You want him prosecuted. Because nobody steals only once. If pays off too good if you don't get caught. Much better than the honest labor.

Please support the original creators by leaving them an honest opinon.

actually i think this deserves the mod drop box rather than a mob with pitchforks...

speaking as an editor that has been ripped off several times, its almost pointless to pitchfork mob these kinds of people, let the mods handle it... its their job after all :/

Privet Esc - long time :)

Did you post in the Mod Drop Box already?
I believe the mods will take disciplinary action on this right away. A repeat offender like this should have his upload priveleges removed, IMHO. :?
The Birds are using humanity in order to throw something terrifying at this green pig. And then what happens to us all later, that’s simply not important to them…

What is Mod Drop Box? As I said from the start, I sent an email to admin@animemusicvideos.org last thursday and did not get an answer in 8 days. So I figured that posting here will get their attention maybe. While at it, I couldn't help making a little show of it. Boys back at home definitely wanted some sort of lynching event.

Is there some other Box I don't know about?

Yes, there is a mod drop box at the bottom of forum sections.

Yes, your posting in the forums also gets our attention, but not in a good way.

It is unfortunate that this person stole your videos, but we, as a site, do not tolerate harassment because you're too lazy or offended to contact the person directly. Do not attempt to release other people's personal information or I will ban you.

I didn't find the proper place to put my complaint and I am sorry about that.

So I contact the person, he removes the video that he is caught with, he keeps other videos he might have stolen, nobody cares as long as everything looks decent. Is that your policy as a site? You tolerate thievery but not harassment?

Not in the least. What paizuri said is that his behavior does not justify yours. Nor do we appreciate your accusations.
