I don't mind if someone steals any "normal" unaltered footage not counting when I change the scenes from my videos since people have done it before but if someone took any of my edited effects parts like my Spike vs. Piccolo scene from Bebop Z, then I'd raise hell.
booyah, it's obvious you burned your own ass to make those scenes

Hang him by his balls and use a lighter to take of the pubic hair if there is any, then just pretend he is one of those mexican party toys and beat the shit out of him, and O ya ask him to take it down. Plagerism is gay

I don't mind people stealing stolen footage - taking clips from someone's video. It's taking the idea or the story - that's what the creator has rights to, his idea. Even if the characters aren't his own, the idea using those is, and in any fandom you have to protect your ideas. Otherwise the best vids on this site would have been remade 6 times over - just stealing other people's great ideas (as well as the edits - which are individual contributions and not just footage alone).

The combination of footage to make an amv constitutes someone's idea of a vid - that's what's been stollen here, not just the original footage itself. And any edits he made to change that footage were stollen as well - meaning a reproduction of his work, his input into the anime.

This isn't just a matter of stealing stolen footage. But it seems most people already agree on that. ^_^; So I'm restating the obvious here.

well, it's not a thing of stealing stolen footage, my footage was original, i was the first one to use that movie, and i have the dvd, so i took clips from nobody; now that guy didnt take clips, he took the whole video and just put a new song instead of the one i had, my fault for uploading good quality wmvs, any clown with windows xp can rip them ¬_¬

Um...

By your own admission, that footage isn't original -- it's from the DVD.

"Original footage" is hard to define, but it usually comes down to

(1) Stuff you did from scratch.
(2) Stuff you significantly manipulated -- an example would be re-drawing elements of the footage frame-by-frame.

Just being pedantic.

Just being pedantic.

And you did a good job, if this were a thing of rights then nobody has any right over their videos because we all used stuff from dvds and other sources
