There should be a fandom orientation class. With pamphlets. And cookies.

I honestly don't see where the confusion comes in.

Stealing a sequence of clips is like lifting a paragraph from someone's story: carefully arranged thoughts, bits and pieces chosen specifically to create a mood.

I was furious on Annie Sewell-Jenning's behalf, and now I'm equally furious on here's luck's behalf.

How do people not understand that taking vid clips from other vids is plagiarism????

Damn, people are dumb.

Oh, it's even more fun than that; she said she knows that it's wrong, but she didn't remember doing it.

A-mazing.

Dear lord. Guess the same bit of "inspiration" just happened to visit both of you. What a coincidence.

[heresluck]

Yes! About a minute and twenty seconds of the exact same inspiration -- complete with the same cuts, the same clips, the some horizontally-flipped clips, the same amount of speed reduction...

The mind boggles.

I loved your aim conversation. It was just...surreal. The way you kept listing the stolen chunks from the vid complete with time reference. Her "image" that she made... It was so ridiculous it was almost high comedy.

That image really floored me. What the hell was that supposed to accomplish? Distract me? Dude, I'm a teacher; I don't have much of a native attention span, but do. not. try to distract me when I'm telling you something important.
