Being called kids because we make AMVs is always amusing.

That article was well-written. Good find. I wonder who exactly they're talking about at the end, regarding the guy who couldn't get into that university until they saw his AMVs?

Oh, that was me ... no just kidding. I only got in because of the pictures I have of the CLA dean.

Well... I am a kid at heart

Anyways, I agree with the articles philosophy as laws are tend to be seem as B&W by the industry and have successfully helped kill creativity before as a result.

Definitely an interesting (and well written, though unsurprisingly) article.

I agree with that article 100%.

That article is right, we are well on our way to a "read-only" internet.

I mean...

Whats so bad about remixing? Drawing Fanart, doing AMV's?

NOTHING.

*ahem* That is my 2-cents here.

While I agree with the contents of this article I highly doubt that it'll help to change the mind of the music industry and other parties that try to strengthen the copyright law and to improve the so called "Digital Rights Management". And it possibly draws that kind of attention to AMV's that we don't need.

Also interesting to note it from the horse's mouth.
