A note about YouTube

And if you have to stretch the truth a little bit to get these people on "our" side (saying they will no longer be able to view these AMVs they like so much if the problem continues, etc. etc.) then that's fine. Quite a few of these types of people won't actually listen to reason unless the consequence adversely affects them in some way.

Plus, a lie repeated a thousand times becomes true. Just ask Hitler and Stalin.

As for video quality skyrocketing "because people will have to pay for their own hosting", I didn't get that. If they have to pay for their bandwidth wouldn't the most obvious choice for the average editor be aiming for a smaller filezise at the expense of quality?

I think Beo meant different quality, as in not video quality but work quality. That does make sense to some extent since that would scare away those who aren't willing to invest more into their AMVs (in this case, investing into hosting).

Unfortunately where Beo's argument doesn't make sense is that with free hosting and video sharing sites like youtube becoming more and more prevalent, it really will NOT be a problem for the casual AMVers. They'll just move on there.

Furthermore there was plenty of videos that sucked back in the pre-.org days. Just that many of us didn't know about them because they were scattered away from any .org-like central authority. But trust me, I've seen those, and they weren't pretty

Ah, so now it all makes sense.

ok, I don't know much about law, well I do just not copyright law, so i don't have much to imput, at least nothing helpful, but I would just like to make my concern for this issue known and ask if there is anything we can do to save ourselves?

Start making your own music?

can do!...wait that was a joke huh?

all joking aside this is a serious matter and I don't like how everyone is either taking up a negitive point of veiw or are just plain giving up. there must be something we can do, if only it is to somehow reduce publicity so they don't find us as fast. there must be something...

or I could just threaten the right people, my formula that disprooves all basic arithmitic can destory the world you know.

Or find artists who'd be understanding and benevolent towards this sort of thing. (There's probably more out there than people might initially think)

I'm sorry but I think its hilarious that when I say "AMV quality", people think I'm talking about resolution and compression.

I'M TALKING ABOUT THE QUALITY OF ART. WHAT ELSE WOULD I POSSIBLY BE TALKING ABOUT. THIS WARRANTS ALL CAPS.
