The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

LBT MVs on Youtube

Somethings fishy here, but I've noticed that DarkHououmon's Land before Time MVs are on Youtube again. I thought the MVs expired there, but the 19 Years Of Land Before Time and so on are back up.  :blink:

That was not me. Mahood or whatever his name is put them up there. I never even told him he could. o.O He wanted me to send him links to my Google Video LBT mvs. I thought he just wanted to be able to watch them again. Turned out he wanted them so he could download them and upload them to YouTube for himself. He does not attempt to claim ownership to the vids at least, although at least one person believes he made the mvs.

I didn't tell him to take down the vids, although I wonder if I should. After all, he never asked me permission to upload them to YouTube.

I dunno.  If he was claiming ownership of the vids that would be one thing, but he's not.  Who knows?  Maybe it'll attract more LBT fans here or something.  I can't image why he would do that, but I guess he has his reasons.  I don't think they're self motivated though.

I'm still not too happy with him that he uploaded the videos without my permission.

I suggest you tell him to make it plain and obvious, in his postings and comments, that YOU made the videos and that Universal owns The Land Before Time. If he's not mentioning you or trying to make it look like he made them, then you should get him to make it clear that you made them. If he doesn't comply, send a complain to YouTube (though, regrettably, I see a lot of plagiarism like this on YouTube all the time, plus, I doubt MVs are even "legal" on YouTube...).

If he didn't doctor the credits, then no harm no foul I"d say, because your name is on them.
