ParkTrips Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 For what its worth... that was better than half the crap that made it to the video contest finals MO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
okinawaboy11 Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 Ok, that video was really cool. BUT They should have credited the Alvey's for the POV fotage. Period. And. Maybe he or she should have asked first also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
24 Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 For a video with stolen footage, it was cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkTums Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 Honestly, I'm getting really sick of YouTube and people stealing videos from everyone else without even the decency to say something. Whatever, we'll just stop posting videos online! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeliriumTrigger Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 ^Why not just put a small watermark in a lower corner of the video? Nothing too intrusive, but it still lets people know where it came from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkTums Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 Why should we have to change to deal with people that are doing the wrong thing? I hate that the majority of people have to change stuff to accomodate a few bad apples. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erik Johnson Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 Well that video has the most WTF music I have heard in a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wes Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 Isn't synaesthetique (the username of the person who posted the video) a user on here?? http://www.themeparkreview.com/forum/profile.php?mode=viewprofile&u=8516 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSLSM Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 Do I see a ban coming? People need to get a life if they think it is okay to steal these videos. While they are free, people at least should have some ethics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParkTrips Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 ^ That's what I had said. However, the thing that really irks me the most is YouTube's method of "handling" copyright infringement. All the user has to do is say he didn't steal the material and there's nothing anyone can do... lame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeemerBoy Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 Robb or Elissa, I've got a question for either of you. If any of these morons had just come to you previous to using your videos, and simply asked you guys for permission to use them in a non-profitable manner, would you have granted permission and given them your blessing? I'm gonna assume you wouldn't mind as long as credit was given to Theme Park Review, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheArchfiend Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 Well I don't condone them taking/using the footage without asking but they atleast did comment to visit this site for more coaster footage. It was a very good montage of this sites POV footage and honestly that video serves as a good ad for the site more than anything else. I look at that as free advertising. No harm in that but regardless; they should have asked and shown you guys what they wanted to do with your footage first. Rob and Elissa: Do you atleast feel it was a good and well put together video of your sites videos? I understand you guys being peeved but I'm just wondering if you think the persons work was flattering to you guys at all in their attempt to make a montage of this sites coaster footage? Also; like BeemerBoy said, would you guys have wholeheartedly approved this YouTube video if shown and asked about this before it was published on the web?

robbalvey Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 Ok, so to be fair I chatted with synaesthetique yesterday. While I don't remember giving him permission to post it on You Tube, I do remember talking to him at the Tatsu campout about how he'd used some of our footage for school projects, etc. I didn't really have an issue with that. Since we know him, and honestly, the video was pretty decent, I've asked him to at least put a footage credit link on the video, which he did. While I would have prefered credit in the video itself, that link will suffice in this case. So before jumping all over someone, please at least give them some benefit of the doubt. Not everyone in this world is evil....most everyone....just not EVERYONE! --Robb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeemerBoy Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 My apologies to synaesthetique then for the moron comment. Scott "um, I guess that answered my question then..I think" B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pvcoasterguy Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 I think the best way to resolve some of these things is simply e-mailing or sending a PM to Robb or Elissa. We all saw what happened with "Elissa's son", which made the site look terrible (by the comments posted on YouTube). By private messaging or e-mailing, it stops the flame wars. Simply insulting a person will not resolve the problem. This gives the people the benefit of the doubt, as Robb was talking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry_Gumball Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 Found another stolen video. I was randomly searching for Pee-Wee Herman (Don't ask why) and found the TPR Segway video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Splash_Mountain Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 It seems the Segway one is mostly stolen, I saw someone do that on DISBoards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rcoasters Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 Well, the person who posted the video putted Author Unknown, so maybe it's real that he didn't know from where it was coming from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLUSHIE Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 I kinda see where you are coming from when you dont want people putting your videos on You Tube, but I don't see why your so upset about it. I wouldn't mind if people took my videos, but I guess I'm not trying to make money off them. I think you should only be upset if people were posting stuff thats only on the DVD's, which I don't think has happened. One way to get around people taking yout videos is just to put them up on youtube yourself, that way if someone else were to take them and do it yours would show as a similar video and people might realise that the other people are stupid.

Homer Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 Depends on who steals the video is who I would hate/rat out. The little british kid that stole the SheiKra video is still an ass about it, just ignore it though. Besides, in the comments place on that kids vid, we have two bannz0r'd TPR members that don't understand money (and arrogant too), and a few YouTube users that don't understand what an upstop wheel is on the kids side, while just about everybody on TPR wants the kid to just take it down. If it was somebody who decided to post one as a preview on YouTube. I'd report them, only the authors can post preview videos. But if it was somebody that had permission from R&E, and did an awesome job mixing footage with some good techno, then damn, that video kicked ass. I wouldn't mind, I'd honor them myself, personally. Now, on to security? On your online videos, can you just put a little watermark on the bottom right side that says © 20XX ThemeParkReview.com or something?

coasterdude5 Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 ^I'm sure they would find a way to crop that out or something. People need more to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
