I can definatly understand what you are getting at but come on, as you said..... 15 year old pricks who won't be making any money from it at all. Loved the last sentance of your video :D

[acroduster]

making money is not and never has been an issue in piracy! monatary assignment is just a cop out for pirates! those 15 year old pirates should spend their time making a video that could get them legitamately recognized for their talent rather than for their piracy. just my thoughts on it.

What about fair use? That is such a fine line...What are your thoughts on that? ~Raven

[acroduster]

fair use doesa not apply to amv's look up fair use doctrine. they are not making a production independant of the copywrited material that they use as the only footage in their video not to mention music.

[Rosstacular]

The internet is serious business.

[Montagraph]

I totally agree! How can one steal music and footage, re-cut it and call it their own?

[arsvenustatis]

most excellent video.

Did you know this video is starting to make the rounds among amv'ers? And guess what! (most of us agree with you)

Hey, what happened to my comment?...that is weird...~Raven

[RadicalComedy]

I agree! One thing to add is sometimes a re-enactment is quite good and interesting to see another approach but most of the time, its not nearly as good. ~Raven
