well frell me

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

Shit, people are morons. *shakes head in disbelief*

You could try contacting the Plagiarism Police, although I don't know if they cover vids. It sucks that it's a vid on her own site, rather than, say, a fic through an archive or zine -- that way, it'd be easy to contact the archivist and get them to (hopefully) take it down and issue a statement. Sigh.

Anyway, good luck, and I hope that dickhead gets whatever they deserve.

Thank you for the link - I will certainly try everything I can.

Dude, I am so sorry to hear that. **hugs** May the perpetrator be caught and humiliated. I would've said hurt, but I think public humiliation is more, well, fun to watch, and murder's illegal. We can't have you going to jail. **more hugs**

You know I just downloaded the video yesterday and haven't had time to watch it. This is so. fucked. up. There is nothing I despise more than plagerism. There is nothing worse than that, I don't think. I mean, it's not only wrong, but it tells about the person who does it. No integrity.

I'm mad for you.

And she gets paid for it? Frankly, that's illegal and she can get sued by ABC, etc. (and you of course). That's like us getting paid for fan fiction.

I feel bad for you. This shouldn't happen. Especially when you work so hard for your vids. Let me just say this, even though this person plagerized, they can't take away from the originality and fandom you've created for yourself.

And she gets paid for it?

Thereotically she charges for CD costs plus posting costs when she sends the CDs with her videos out. I'm bet there's some extra money in it that doesn't cover the costs.

you know, I downloaded it and was kind of freaked out about how it looked like "Stay." I thought wow, she totally stole Jo's idea. I didn't expect her to have actually stolen the *clips*. That's just ridiculous.

Isn't making money off of Alias illegal? Isn't that why we ferociously disclaim our fanfic? She needs to get in real trouble. Preferably involving sue-age for much money.

I'm sorry, babe.

That is terrible. I can't begin to imagine how upset you must be. Another person does not deserve even a fraction of the credit you deserve for providing so much enjoyment to many, many Sarkney/Alias fans. *hugs*
