| Clip Theft |
Author:

As some of you may know, we recently had an incident involving clip theft. Now I know it may not seem like a big deal, taking a clip here and there, hell, I never even thought it was a problem before today. It's probably never really intentional to directly plagiarize another person's work. Just a bit of ignorance to the rules, and we will treat it that way, on the first offense, but if it happens a second time with a person who knows better, then a ban from this site will ensue. It's that serious.
Since it's probably mainly people new to vidding that may make this mistake, just read up here on why NOT to do it:
- It looks bad. Especially if you cut the clip halfway through a fade or something.
- It means you're stealing another person's work. Especially if you use parts where it actually takes TALENT to clip properly. That talent is not yours, it's the vidder's. Sometimes some videos can take upwards of WEEKS to finish, so it's just plain disrespect for a good video
- It's easy for people to find you out. The incident we had may have slipped through the cracks of the JUDGES, due to some 25 videos between that video and the victim video being submitted, but the viewers saw it. And they always will. The easiest parts to see are when some original effect is put in that is taken.
- The viddeo may have put their calling card on the piece, and can find out exactly which scenes you used. And they have every right to come and yell at you for it
-the quality of the clips are horrible, and usually mean an ugly video. It's a waste of all that hard work.
-it ruins what we come here to make, and soon every vid turns into one big compiliation of everyone else's work.
-we will ban you from the site if you keep doing it!
So what reason WOULD someone steal it? To use as material, if they just didn't know any better, or to steal great effects, if they were to be diabolical. But anyway, if it's to get material, then there are many many other places to get these clips. Though I must point you to this topic: http://lostvideo.net/v-web/bulletin/bb/viewtopic.php?t=1196 and urge you to go to fellow vidders via PM or email for help, I assure you there's always a way to get the clips, and sometimes whole episodes.
Before I close, I would also like to point out one common misconception right here about what is legal and what is not. As far as music videos are concerned, there is actually no "real" illegal part about using tv-show footage to make a music video. Up to 4 minutes of any show may be used by the public at any given time, so most music videos fall under that category... though I wouldn't go waving your video in front of the head networks, but at least there's no real illegal issue here. Clip theft from vidder to vidder is, of course, not a legal issue. But it is extremely frowned upon by most music video sites as a serious offense, because really, all this music vidding is about is status with your friends, and making a video that trully gives feeling. If clip theft can't get you either of those, then you might as well not do it.
Thanks for the cooperation! I'm sure we wont be seeing any more of these, at least from anyone that reads up on what they're doing, but in case it does, everyone just keep an eye out for your fellow vidders, okay.
To read more about this, I HIGHLY recommend one of our affiliates, "Fade to Black". It's all about preventing clip theft. I learned all I know from there, and it can explain this all a LOT better than I can

I figured I'd open a official discussion thread for tonights episode and see if it's popular enough to do one for every new episode.
Let the discussions begin!
Below is the episode description taken from: http://www.tvtome.com/Lost/guide.html
...In Translation
gs: Bryon Chung (Mr. Paik) John Choi (Butler) Joey Yu (Byung Han) Chil Kong (White Suit) John Shin (Father) Angelica Perreira (Bryon's Daughter) Tess Young (Best Friend) Kiya Lee (Byung's Wife)
When the raft the survivors have been building mysteriously burns down, Michael is convinced that Jin is responsible for the sabotage, which only further escalates their rivalry. Meanwhile, Sun stuns her fellow survivors with a surprising revelation. Boone gives Sayid a warning about his step-sister Shannon. Lastly, more of Jin's past is revealed with his troubled marriage to Sun and her mysterious father prior to the crash in flashbacks.

After desperately hoping I wouldn't have to activate the donate page I had no choice but to put up a PayPal account for donations for the site.
We're flying through our bandwidth so any donations made will go into buying extra bandwidth to keep up with our amazing growth. It looks like we'll get through this month okay ( I hope) but as the other council members will tell you our submission rates and site numbers are rapidly going up faster then any of us imagined they would.
Every penny will help, but I assure you that no matter what I will find a way to keep LVI around for a long time to come.

| An Anti-Request |

I understand it's difficult to be original for a show that's not even finished its first season and also when there's this many videos that are around, but there are many many many things that regular viewers, such as myself, I'm sure have grown tired of seeing, and I simply want to post one of them here that comes to mind. I'm making it an anti-request. I'd like to never see it again.
Many songs have a sort of intro feel and then at some point into it they really "kick-in" and it seems that often times people decide to use the clip from the plane crash where people rise out of their seats and hit the roof of the plane. I've seen it A LOT on these videos. Can we end it? Please!!
I apologize for even posting this; I feel like a jackass. But there are many things in these Lost videos that are becoming.... cliche. I'm sorry if you're one of the folks I'm addressing this to. It's nothing personal against your video, just the masses as a whole.
Thank you. I'll shut up now.
