Is there an AMV publishing company?

[gotegenks]

But isn't having a small branch of an anime company not the same as an entire company devoted to AMV's, unless the other companies contracted for it...*ponders on the idea* Would be nice to have big name companies contract out editors to make AMV''s that are trailers for the shows they want to promote...

nope, it isn't. yeah, that's exactly what i was thinking.

AMV Contests at conventions..
I heard that Hold Me Now sold out the dealer's room of Princess Tutu at the con it was entered to. I've seen similar effects at other cons as well.

...what?

I heard of this website called animemusicvideos.org that holds thousands of amv's. But I think it's just a myth.

Old Man, didn't ADV try to get the rights to Hold Me Now's music, but it's like Norwegian or something, and they failed?

Music rights are a huge cluster, nevermind the issue of the sort of transformation and effects we like to apply to the video.

Thanks for all the input, everyone.

i just don't see how that was relevant to my post xD

What about amvs falling under the parody act? :3

It was relevant because they ignore us because we are basically free advertisements, hence the example of the video that sold out it's show in the dealer's room O.o

AMV Contests are seen as a block of free adverts for them.

[gotegenks]

i know, but we're talking about amv companies endorsing amvs, and possibly creating some of their own for advertisement in places other than cons and the internet, it's not about places that it's okay to do it at.

No one specified that "anime conventions" were off limits in this conversation, and I still don't think they are..

I can't remember the entire story and if someone can fill in the gaps - but I do recall a specific time when someone stole the footage from someone popular's amv and that Frankenstein was used as an advert in some country that was not the USA.
