A friendly reminder about sharing content

[shishkbob]

You do realize that 'Fair Use' doesn't apply to clips such as these and even using snippets is a violation of DMCA & copyright laws. Unless, of course, the producer gave permission, which will be the minority.

Not trying to sound like a prick and I'm sure you mean well but this is the same type of mindset people start out, sharing it with their friends but that eventually turns into much much more. It's one of the things I had to fight constantly on my forums, certain individuals who felt they had a 'right' to share my content. I've fought hard and put a lot of time and money into combating illegal file sharing and folks who feel they have the 'right' to share my content via Youtube, vimeo, etc.

With that said, I do have a big issue with these forums encouraging sharing in such a manner. Producers decide on how they market their content and customers can choose if it's worth it to spend their money based on what they've seen.
