ash48I don't know why this still shocks me but it does.
This person (LezraGR) has not only posted a couple of my vids but has also put their own watermark on it. They have also blocked me (and probably others) from commenting so I can't even protest it. What the...? There's a heap of other vids there, which I'm sure are stolen also.
My two (I Go to Work and When You're Smiling) were posted over a year ago but there are some recent SPN ones that I'd place bets aren't his (edit...looks like the poster is a teenage boy (?)).
*head shake* It puzzles me what these people get out of doing this. I guess when you make something public like that anyone can grab it. But it's the same as stealing someone's story.
Anyway. Not much can be done I suppose, especially if he's blocked comments. What a loser.
ETA: ARGHHH!! I just found this also. My Woo Hoo vid The thing is... he has a facebook link. I don't have Facebook. But if anyone is able to contact him there it might be worth telling him stealing is not on.
(Missing SPN! These mini breaks suck!)

Date: 2012-02-25 01:57 pm (UTC)Wow.. a boy from Greece eh? Thanks for the message. With the comments on the vid and your one I hope he gets the message. (below it's mentioned that he's now blocked comments to the vid. Which means... yeah. He got the message...)
And your comment re the logo is exactly why I've never put one on. But I get why vidders do. I'd rather not but I've had about 3 occasions where a similar thing has happened. I wish there was a way of labeling it and it not being obtrusive.
In the scheme of things these stolen vid posts don't seem to get that much attention anyway. Hmm... not sure what to do there. (Might put this question out there to the vidding community...)
