My Dad has made this site he's ran for a while. He's got a few people that go to it every now and then. I don't think enough where he gets lots and lots of hits, but enough where he gets some feedback. Anyway, this is the site:
http://www.cncproductions.com/atm.html
Check out anyone of the clips and you'll instantly understand my question I think.
I've talked about this with my dad, and I've told him that movie companies might be pissed because he's using movie footage which is copyrighted. I've seen some of the stupid stuff these people will send out C & Ds for. I'm thinking though it might not be too harmful. What he does is he posts clips of movies with his own introduction, talking about the movie for a minute, and he reminds people to go buy the DVD, and he keeps on pushing for you to buy the DVD. He runs a few scenes from the movie, and then gives a farewell, and usually that's it.
Am I wrong? I hope movie companies wouldn't mind, in fact now that I think about it, they might even like the fact that someone is pushing people to buy DVDs, when he's not getting anything out of it, except enjoying his own hobby. It's actually sort of a good idea, giving people a taste of a movie they might wanna buy, but not sure if they'll like it. I guess because I've heard of people getting CaD for less, that maybe the same might happen to him. I'm hoping not, cause I think he'd really be hurt by that. What do you think? Think movie companies if they saw this site would mind?
I'm actually thinking of asking him to post a segment on FF7: advent children lol be nice to open up to more people. I don't always see eye to eye what he posts on there, because he mainly sticks to movies he likes, even if they are decades old or most people have already seen em.
I posted a topic like this on gamefaqs movie section board, and god that was a mistake -_- Some idiot named ThE MaSTeR 3 responded to my comment about FF7: AC and said "Yeah the 5 people that view that crappy site would be in for a treat." The jerks at that site feel like they never need to show any respect, he was talkin about my friggin dad's site! I'd kick his ass if I could.
