Re: YouTube removes my account?

To actually answer the original question, there actually is a way you can get strikes removed from your YouTube account and get the removed videos restored (at leas if you haven't already deleted them yourself, which does nothing to get rid of the strikes and only makes it harder to get rid of them ...

Re: Final Fantasy 13: Faster (Within Temptation)

Thanks for the input! Yeah, I had originally intended to cut directly into the first verse too, but thought that extra bazooka shot fit so well with the beat of the song that I didn't want to cut it out. That might be one of those cases where I was too reluctant to cut a scene I liked a lot but didn...

Final Fantasy 13: Faster (Within Temptation)

180908 This is my 13th AMV, appropriately using footage from Final Fantasy XIII, and set to the song "Faster" by Within Temptation (first single from "The Unforgiving" album, 2011). This is a straight-up action vid, focusing mainly on Lightning. Following my usual style, all the clips are synced ve...

Re: Creating a bill that would make what we do legal.

I wrote it for my law school's law review. Every US law school publishes a scholarly journal with articles discussing different topics, and it's meant to be published either in my school's law review or another one. And no, not the time cops. ;) It's more about changing laws now to work better in th...

Re: Creating a bill that would make what we do legal.

Hey funny you should mention this. I recently wrote a law review article that I am working on getting published, which discusses the legal difficulties faced by AMV creators (and fan-made media creators in general), and makes a few specific proposals for expressly protecting things like AMVs as fair...

Re: Arguments against legal infringement court

Well for takedowns on YouTube and stuff it doesn't really matter what your source was, since whether a video is infringing is independent of whether you legally acquired the source footage. If it ever went to court, they'd have to evaluate whether the video was infringing on its own merits, though i...

Re: Copyright

You know, if your AMVs are blocked on YouTube you can always just dispute the Content ID or file a counter-notice and get them restored, rather than trying to figure out how to evade the fingerprinting technology (which is pretty hard). I recently made a website which provides a complete Guide to Yo...

Re: FUNIMATION IS SUING ME! HELP!

Haha, I looked at this thread title and thought my opportunity had finally arrived. Guess not quite yet. But in answer to your question, I would mount a full fair use defense and counterclaim for copyright abuse and violation of anti-SLAAP (Strategic lawsuit against public participation) laws. If th...

Re: New video: Final Fantasy 7 - Nemo (focus on Sephiroth)

Hmm, so no one has any comments? The video really is worth watching, if you'll take my word for it. =)

New video: Final Fantasy 7 - Nemo (focus on Sephiroth)

178503 This is a new video I made (my 11th AMV I think) that I hope brings some originality back to FF7 videos. I and others have made plenty of videos about the heroes of the FF7 saga, but there aren't very many about the villains. So I made this video focusing on Sephiroth, Kadaj, and Genesis (th...
