It annoys me as much as anyone when someone rips my captures, but does it really matter? We hold no copyright to the material.
True. But it doesn’t help gain respect from others in the community, and is disrespectful of those who pay money to host the files on their own websites only for someone to download and upload to their own site or YouTube channel.
And I get that. I do get angry when I see my own uploads on other channels without credits. But on the other hand, it's also annoying when you go through old threads on this site and it's full of dead videos because 'the user has closed their channel/due to a copyright claim this channel has been removed', or you know there is the perfect clip to demonstrate something over on TV Ark but you can't access it because the site is going through it's revamp.
What really needs to exist is some sort of upload service like metropol, except you don't need a login to view it and videos will only go public if the original owners channel or website no longer exists, but it will still credit that original person for it.
EDIT: Thinking of MHP private parts, instead of metropol.
