well frell me

[corngirl_jo]

I guess this gives me some kind of status or something. Can I not accept the honour?

I've been plagiarised. My videos, to be more exact.

Someone on my flist linked a "great Sarkney video", I don't remember who it was, by an artist known as "Vokal". (This is her/his website, this is her blogI downloaded, and 15 seconds into it started breathing a

Euch, that sucks monkey through a short straw. On one hand, it's a twisted sort of compliment ... on the other hand, an actual compliment and not stealing the clips would be so very much better. The only thing I can suggest is to watermark your vids in a corner with something pretty, subtle and yet blindingly obvious if you know what to look for.

I had thought about it but I wasn't able to figure out how to do that. Help? I am meaning to take down all my vids, watermark them all and upload them again.

[halcyon_shift]

This is just how to make a really simple watermark (in Premiere 6.0, may be a litle different in 6.5) - you can get prettier through trial and error. There's probably a vastly easier way to do it but I'm afraid I only know this one

You rock SO SO much.

Jo, I'm pissed for you. When a totally sucky thing to do to you.

You make awesome vids and you certainly don't deserve to have your hard work ripped off like that. And the fact she's charging for them? Makes it even worse. It also makes me wonder who else's vids have been ripped off. I took a trip to her site and there was a lot of vids up there - so it could have happened to a lot more people.

I wish I could do something about it.

*hugs*

I suspect so as well that's why I'm about to make sure other vidders are aware of her.

I agree, that is something worth getting outraged about -- I remember the whole brouhaha last year from sisabet's vids (and other people's). Access Denied has apparently "gone the way of the dodo," but it has now become Fade to Black. Guess that's the place to report it and find out what to do.

[corngirl_jo]

This link is HUGE help. Thank you very much. I'm off to work on this bullshit.

[postcardjunkie]

No problem, glad I could help. I can barely fathom how much work you folks go to in making those vids; it's outrageous that people steal it.

[meko00]

This is terrible. I hope something can be done about it.

You know, whoever rec'ed that vid is on my flist too. I remember seeing the link to it but didn't follow it because I knew it couldn't possibly be as good as yours. I'm really glad I didn't download it now. This really sucks.

Here's the link to the Plagiarism Patrol 3's live journal. They don't look too terribly active but maybe they can do something for you.

[corngirl_jo]

Thank you, Kim!!! This is huge help. I'll make sure her name is famous - just not in the way she'd hope.
