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] 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.

[livejournal.com profile] 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.

You mean you don't keep one stored in tupperwear under your computer like the rest of us?

That video is just *sad,* really. The BIG HT IS KIND OF A GIVEAWAY.

In my head this person is fourteen. *Please* tell me this person is fourteen. Because if there is an actual adult somewhere going 'its not steaaaaaling you stooole alreaaaaady' then I may weep.

I was thinking 15 when I talked to her! She said she'd been vidding FOREVER and KNOWS all these laws (water marking is against copyright laws). Also that she ripped everything except those clips, because they were just what she wanted...

Well, yeah, they were just what she wanted - how many freaking hours did it take us to get them edited to be just what we wanted?

Thank you for emailing me. She is such a cliched clip thief she is almost quaint.

Exactly!

Thank you for emailing me.


No problem, I love your sense of humor, do you mind if I friend you? You probably wouldn't want to friend me back but I like to ask first before I friend anyone.

If she could rip the others WHY THE HELL couldn't she rip the ones she stole?

My God. My brain hurts. Hopefully the fact that now five zillion people have seen her video and all gone 'omgwtfpolarbear' will make her stop? Perhaps? Hopefully?

Okay, probably not.

That’s what *I* say whenever a clip thief has given me that line.

Well now I'm completely weirded out by the fact I just watched a video where Buffy/Spike sex scenes were set to a song about 'fucking like an animal' that was made by a FOURTEEN YEAR OLD. Is that wrong of me?

According to her home page she is 17.

Is her homepage on somewhere that has an age cutoff? Perhaps she lied to get an account?

Alright. I'll admit I'm just hoping she's younger than that. Because at seventeen *I* knew that stealing was bad, mkay? So should she.

Kids today. :gets cane:

I don't think it's wrong. Frankly, it freaks me out too. I don't think I would have understood the song Closer at age fourteen. Every time I think about teenagers now, I just feel old.

I'm wondering what kind of 14 year old in 2006 is listening to "I Need A Hero" and "Closer" and "Let's Go Crazy" -- all of these songs are older than she is.

Do you think she's a sockpuppet?

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*

Geez, what's *not* to understand about "I want to fuck you like an animal?" At 14, I sure as heck knew what that meant! *g*

All girls religious school birth to 15. I don't think I knw what fuck meant. As for the song, turns out it's really about heroin addiction. What a bummer.

Big city public school; at 14, I knew people who were having sex. I couldn't look at the vid (the link is now dead), but someone (Lum?) commented that, on "You let me penetrate you," she had Spike doing that to Buffy, which seems to indicate she understands about sex.

And really, that's one aspect of LJ that's really starting to freak me out: coming into contact with so many *kids* who are into the same things I am. In my mind, I'm still in the same adults only playground, that happened to move from lists to LJ, but every once in a while something like this happens and really knocks my perception sideways.

As for the song, turns out it's really about heroin addiction. What a bummer.

Yep, that's what happens when heroin addicts write music. I love Nirvana, but a lot of KC's stuff is about that, too.

Oh this kid isn't into LJ. She is over at myspace with all the other kids (and really? I do NOT get the whole myspace thing).

And yeah - when I was 12 there were girls in my class at school who were pregnant so I would have understood what the lyric meant. I just wouldn't have been comfortable with it or really understood it.

Not her, but others. I run into *lots* of kids on LJ.
