Really, Obvious, I Mean OBVIOUS, Clip Theft Right Here. Getcher Clip Theft here.
Okay - so get this: I am totally not fired. At least for now. I am just taking comfort in podcasts - I so totally love podcasts right now. Feel free to pimp your favorites to me as I am in a very receptive mood.
So, I finally check my email today and I get an alert from![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
fahrbotdrusilla that she came across a Buffy/Spike vid to the song "Closer" and halfway through she noticed that the vidder was using stolen clips from one of her vids and one of mine. I think the big giveaway that she is using clips from my vid? The huge, honking "HT" bug in the lower right corner. Chickadee not only stole clips from a vid of mine, she stole clips and edits from my vid "Closer" for her vid "Closer" which on a strictly artistic scale sucks ass. Seriously - waaay too long and all dramatic tension she has built up is spoiled when Buffy cuts her hair in fast motion.
Melodramatic hair-cutting is hard enough to pull off without inducing giggles. Making it all fast-forwardy? Just wrong. Sadly, these are life lessons it doesn't appear the youth of today is getting. I fear for the future. Well, that and don't steal from a fellow fan.
fahrbotdrusilla emailed her about the clip theft and apparently she didn't take edits from us as we took edits from Joss...or something, I think she is pulling out that argument. Also, I think she thinks that I have a penis. Maybe she meant someone else was "he" - like Jesus.
I'd be mad if the clip theft was not so fucking obvious. I mean really - we bugged the vid with the "HT" (for headtilt - I used to have a website at headtilt.com) because of clip theft and now it is just -- wow. I am dying. I think this is cracking me up.

Hunh. Interesting. I dunno, my son (who is only 9) assures me that "heavy metal" music is popular at his school. "I like really old music", he says. *headdesk*
