Attn. Drivers: Today is the last Friday of the month, which means it's time for Friday Night Drive-In, a.k.a. Fan Vid Recs. Reccers may post 1 vid rec for their fandom, formatted as follows:

Subject Line: VID REC: Fandom - Song Title

Vidder:
Musical artist:
Pairing:
Vidder on LJ:
Vidder's website:
Why this vid kicks ass:


Because the vidder community has some unique ownership issues, it’s important that reccers be extra careful when making vid recs. Depending on the vidder’s preferences regarding public access to their work, please link your rec in the appropriate manner:

1. If the video is publicly accessible, direct link to the web page the vid is linked on, or if it’s the vidder’s request, to the HTML splash page of their site.

or…

2. Link to the site with instructions on acquiring the password, if the site is protected – do not reveal the password yourselves.

or…

3. Provide contact info for the vidder if their vids are only available privately (tapes, dvd-R’s, collections, etc.).


Do not:
Hotlink, i.e. link directly to the video file rather than the webpage.
Re-upload videos that a vidder has removed from the web.
Delay in removing a vid rec if requested to do so by the vidder.

Thank you!

I had a first rate Man from UNClE vid in my prospects and e-mailed the author but got no answer; I am sure the lady would agree, for she sent it to anybody asking it when it was released. Maybe my mail just failed. It must be now in Muncle memories: may I give the link without any specific allowance?

Sorry but I'm somewhat confused by your comment? Authorial permission is not needed if the vid is available publicly.

I intended to do it among the recs for MFU, but wasn't sure the vid was on line (I first received the file as an attachment to an e-mail, after the vid had been announced in a list). I tried to check in the Muncle memories but they were unavailable at the time (yesterday evening); I am going to check it again but it's too late for friday.

Moreover, I thought, since it seems there are specific regulations for video works, maybe I needed the author's allowance.

May still I rec the vid today?

I apologize, but because of the LJ glitch I just received this comment!

A vid that wasn't available publicly online would have needed the vidder's permission to share, you're correct.
