Stolen Run? Seek Advice Here.

Dawn didn't because I wrote those notes almost 2 years ago, before I started doing that. But all of my recent runs do have it in the copyright information.

Most people don't want to put up their email info because it just brings in the spam, unfortunately.

BTW, if some random guy at 61FPS can find my email information, contact me about an article he was working on, despite not having it up on either my YouTube account or here, I think anybody can if they try hard enough. Yes, that did happen.

New run thief, he has obviously got hold of Dragorn's 100% Majora's Mask run and tried to pass it off as someone elses.

Quote from Marty81:

To take a completely random example, how do you propose that I get in contact with Alice's runner?
http://speeddemosarchive.com/AmericanMcGeesAlice.html

If I were someone who wanted to host the video on another page and needed to get in contact with the runner, I'd find someone in charge of the site and fire off an email without even bothering with the forum unless the About page (which nearly every site does have) doesn't have any contact information of any kind.

Honestly it's not that difficult to get in contact with the runner unless that person has completely dropped off the face of the earth. These people are just assuming they can get away with it without getting caught. They also have the fact that, since sites like youtube are so big, they can just keep making new accounts if they do get caught and punished. I so wish that youtube could do bans based on the owner of the internet connection (i.e. the actual person who pays the bills and has his modem connected) rather than just killing an account.

You mean like this run of yours, that has no contact links?

http://speeddemosarchive.com/DawnOfMana.html

And the fact that searching the members here for "Sir VG" and "Nicholas Hoppe" return nothing at all?

I know to contact Mike or another staff member if I really need to find someone, but random guy from the internet wouldn't know that. My point is just that the main pages on SDA hardly make it easy for someone to find the contact info for the runners.

You know what? I think I'm gonna make it easier to contact me for stuff. I'm gonna further tweak my copyright, and add a contact page on my speed run website (I'm testing it now, and the basics work for sending a contact form email). Don't know what I can do for the old runs (like the previously mentioned Dawn of Mana), but really, I'm gonna make an effort to make it easier.

That's probably a good idea. Anything that makes it easier to contact a runner directly is a good thing in my book. BTW, your Dawn of Mana run just happened to be the first one of yours I looked at.

I think the admins considered linking forum topics from run pages at one point, but decided not to because some runners don't post/aren't registered on the forums.

Well, the verification forum didn't come into being until a few months ago, plus not every run has its own topic. And the task of linking everything done to date will be very tedious for whoever does it.

Though it may become a feature whenever SDA 2.0 comes into being. If it's still being worked on. ^^;;

No it didn't have a Stat ID nor did the Metroid 100% run.
I didn't watch the Toy Story video before posting his Youtube Channel on here and it's even funnier now that I saw the Sega Logo :P.

He needs to be shot, BOTH of those had an SID (I knew Metroid 100 did but couldn't remember if Toy Story did).

Read through the first several pages. Bonehead had your SotN run (which was current at the time).

I like how you can pause at the right moment in the first SOTN vid and see that his character's name is "Lucid."

It's not like the people who 'steal' runs have much patience and dedication to editing the video. Otherwise they could redirect their energies to actually making a run! Roll Eyes

I'm been trying to get Chrizzz13 suspended by using Manocheese's list of Youtube Links method but nothing much has changed :(. Well at least those videos are not my published speed runs (and he hasn't uploaded anything for at least a month now)

Anyway here's a new SDA run theif :
http://www.youtube.com/user/Ioupopio

So far he has the PC Final Fantasy VII run & right now Ocarina of Time 100% (the current published one not BrianMP16's run).

The channel description is somewhat immature too:

Quote:

This is my personal channel where I can upload ANYTHING I WANT. Yeah! Actually, I plan to upload many speed runs of various games just to buff up on my editing skills, and thanks to youtubes "10 min" system, I have to limit how long these speed runs are. Keep in mind that some of them last an excess of 7 hours!

He adds his own logo but does give credit to the runner in the youtube playlist description.

If it is, it's an old version of it.

On Wednesday night, I sent an e-mail to Youtube's copyright service, as outlined in the original post (except that I linked to archive.org, as I never posted those runs on Youtube). On Thursday night, action was taken. Guess I had it easy.
