Has this video been posted before?

It appears to be a time shortened bilateral orchie.

Short and sweet showing both testicles being snipped off.

Yes, about 100 times. It's no less stolen now than it was any other time it was posted.

You not doubt saw me posting that in the forum where you likely found it. I've only been screaming about it for the past 2 years since it was stolen from me and the original owner.

Of course, I've also noticed in that same two years that people don't really give a F*ck and post to it constantly anyhow. I've even had a few tell me copyright doesn't apply on the Internet. *ugh*

To the mods: Is there not a way to prevent this video link from showing up on EA?

Unfortunately, no. Just have to keep an eye open and delete when needed.

Kristoff, please explain to me how linking to a website is stealing. I visit many website a day where I use a link they have to another website, is that also stealing?

Because that website didn't have permission to reproduce it.

If I write a short story and post it on the web, it is still my story and no one else's.

When I contract with websites that post stories and they are printed in anthologies, published as ebooks or posted to a website, I still retain ownership but I have transferred those particular rights to the anthology, ebook, or website.

And yes, my stories are my property, my work...

specifically, the rights to publish that video belong to someone other than the website where you saw it.

AS the Law says if you receive stolen goods, the goods are still stolen and you have no right to keep them or benefit from them.

So if I email a link to someone to view a website, it that also stealing?

If a crook comes to you with a 42inch TV that he has stolen and you put it in your house, what do you think happens when the police come to investigate a crime? If that website has stolen the video and you link to it, you are committing what is commonly called "receiving stolen goods"...

Similarly, when you buy a CD or some musical group you like and then make copies of the music for your friends, you are doing wrong. You are taking money away from the talented people who created the songs. You may not take someone else's work and redistribute it freely without permission.

When I publish my stories in print, ezine and online, the editors of the anthology and owners of the website and I make a contract that gives them certain rights to publish that story. You may not redistribute it without permission of the rights holder.

We have no control over what you do with a link in your email; we only remove links to stolen vids/pics from the boards.

But yeah, technically, sharing it after someone stole it is still a bad thing.

And people wonder why folks are so reluctant to share their images, etc. ...

Thanks Paolo, you gave me the answer I was looking for.

i think we're being a little too generous in how the word 'crime' is being applied here. a criminal act is one that is potentially prosecutable in a court of law(civil suits don't count). accessing a website with stolen content(even youtube qualifies here, despite how vigorously they delete downloaded material after receiving notification) and viewing(but not downloading) that content is not prosecutable as theft(or receiving stolen property). now if the website in question does not take action in a reasonble time frame after notification, that's different. Dave's analogy is a bit inaccurate. suppose the thief put the plasma tv in his own living room, invited you over to watch a game & then you, in turn, invited someone else to come over and watch the game as well. the tv is not in your house. you did not "receive" it & can't be prosecuted for receiving stolen property. the only issue is whether you knew if it was stolen at the time. if so, you could be charged with failing to report a crime. knowingly posting links to stolen content is merely a moral and/or ethical issue. just an asshole move, not a criminal one.
