Out of curiosity, do you know Jimmy Duerega from australiansevereweather.com? and Stormstock gave you permission, I assume.

I noticed you posted one of his (Jimmy's) videos there. I see you gave him credit in the YouTube comments to him and the other videos you have posted, but typically it is best to actually obtain permission from the actual author. If you did, fantastic, kudos to Jimmy for fantastic footage. And you say in your YouTube dialogue that you're 17. The Happy Tornado hit in 2002, making you 12 at the time that video was taken. Who were you chasing with?

Your photo montages have pictures from tornadochasers.net, photos from Larry Houghton, and others. I can only hope you obtained permission to use.

I'm not trying to be sarcastic or lighten your posts but it's very important that you obtain permission first before posting videos taken by others.

WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU

Just screwing aroud I got permisson?

 

[John Diel]

Jordan,

I would suggest that you take heed of Jeff's message. Most folks take a dim view of snagging photos and video without permission.

It's not hard to do, simply find out who they are and send them and e-mail asking if you can post their video and/or photos with due credit. Most folks will give you the permission without any trouble at all.

It may not seem like a big deal, but it really is. We've seen people who have had their professional credibility ruined by doing something like this. I would hate to see your's dumped so early.

Just ask the folks who own the copyrights, and you'll be alright.

In all honesty, you will probably receive very few - if any - positive feedback. Being that you're new, it's understandable that you may not know the history of what has happened on here which may have struck you wrong when you received the type of response that you did.

Many stormtrack members have dealt and fought with people who've ripped off their photographs and videos and either passed them off as their own or passed them around as something they aren't. This is why you got the type of response that you did and will probably continue to get.

 

[Chris Nuttall]

I noticed the May 3, 1999 video has a bunch of Shane's stuff. There was also a photo montage that had a bunch of stuff from Eric Nguyen.

We understand that you just want to fool around and learn how to edit and make video mixes. That's cool. But, if you are using work that has copyrights, you MUST ask permission....even if you leave the copyright notices intact you need permission.

Think of it this way...you're using a unique work that someone else created, and you basically take the credit for it with your mix.

Yeah, you've gotta get permission. More than a few of the videos there have footage shot by some of the people in this forum. Probably a few of them will be sending good ol' DMCA takedowns to Youtube, and you'll find your videos removed one day. They're not being jerks, it's just that they make money by selling DVDs to people and footage to TV networks. Chalk it up to one of those life lessons.

You've got that one credited to Andrew Pritchard and Chad Cowan when it clearly states that Skip Talbot took that one.

 

[Craig Maire II]

Jordan, you may feel free to use my Nicollet MN tornado footage if you would like all I ask is that I'm given due credit.

[Andrew Pritchard]

Hey Jordan, I'd probably take down any videos on there that you didn't ask permission for (which you stated above that you did, but clearly did not).

Dan is right, you've got me and Chad Cowan credited on the April 24th video. While we were with Skip, that's not my video. If you're going to use other people's videos you MUST MUST MUST ask them first, and do more than just putting their name. Give the website where you found it. You're stealing traffic from their sites and in some ways costing them money.

I understand you are new, but this was probably the worst way you could have welcomed yourself.

 

[Shane Adams]

The May 3, 1999 video better be taken down IMMEDIATELY or I'll go through youtube and have them do it. Leaving the copyright on the image is NO EXCUSE for taking someone's copyrighted material without their permission.

You have 24 hours to take that video down. Otherwise we'll do it the hard way.

 

[Martin Lisius]

I do not recall giving anyone permission to use the Spencer, SD clips that are at [link deleted]

If the creator of that web page thinks otherwise, he can send me a copy of the license or other form of permission he has. When it comes to copyrighted material, like those clips, I only grant written permission, so there's a copy somewhere if permission was given. I can't find it in my database.

Most on ST know my stand regarding infringement. We show no mercy to pirates. All are hanged. No exceptions. Lucky for this one, we are already a co-plantiff in a suit against YouTube, so I made a copy of the evidence and added it to the lot. YouTube can deal with the web page creator, or not. It doesn't matter to me because YouTube will be compensating us for the use ultimately.

Martin

PS: At least one of those clips is registered which means statuatory damages would be in order.

 

[Jeff Miller]

Which is an abundantly good lesson as to why I responded the way that I did to your post, Jordan. Martin is well within his rights and simply exercising the copyright laws that he has earned with his work, as is shane for demanding your video be removed - which I suggest you do immediately or someone else is going to contact YouTube as well. It's not what's wrong with ME, Jordan, it's what's wrong with piracy. It's an offense, as you are no doubt learning now.

It is most likely too late for Jordan as, as you can see above, infringement evidence has already been compiled, but I hope anyone else who happens to surf through here who considers pirating storm chaser video and photo material will get the point:Don't do it. It's illegal, it's pirating, and it could cost you big. If you have chaser video on YouTube or any other online media, video or photo website that you did not take, take it down immediately. Don't learn your lesson the hard way. Take your own video and show people what you can accomplish.

 

[Shane Adams]

As of 10:33pm CST, neither mine nor any of the other pirated videos have been taken down. However, you've logged into your account since I made my first request for you to take down my images....and I posted the same request in your youtube comments, so I know you've seen it. It's obvious you have no regard for mine nor any others' work or requests to remove the infringed material. I've just sent an official copyright violation notification to youtube.

All you had to do was ask. You went to my site to grab my images, and my email address is right there on the front page. It would've taken a few minutes of your time to show a little consideration and respect to simply request permission. Not only did you not do that, but your reactions on this thread to those who have pointed this out have been extremely negative and aggressive, which further displays your complete lack of respect for others and their work. So I don't mind saying I'm not going to be nice about this. And if you think I'm a problem, you have NO IDEA what Mr. Lisius is going to do to you.

As Stormtrack is founded on principles of quality and integrity we are removing the YouTube link and suspending this account until these copyright violations have been addressed.
