ok before i say anything on this..i just want to say i am not being judgemental here..dis is just my opinion on the issue..
i can't relate to ur hurt nitz..cos i never experienced such a situation...and with my first mix ..i am apparently on the other side..lolz
but frankly i never understood wat is d big fuss abt...its confusing as to wat is one's creativity or contribution in a vidmix....watever vidmixes i have seen till date...d one thing dat really differentiates a fabulous vidmaker from an amateur one is wat scenes he/she uses or how d person blends d scenes with the lines of d song....cos like good songs..even d scenes of both couples are in limited numbers...
now in d case of tumse hi…..agreed u must have used a fab and a very popular song on ay..but i don't think ur vmix is so loved cos of that....it must be mostly appreciated cos of the way u made d mix....ur perception of d song was ur creativity..not choosing d song itself...
now i am not even going to the part that its a film song...and none of us own a right over it...but even if u disregard it...d only way sumone can insult ur creativity...is if sumone has seen ur work...and blatantly copied d scenes u used for each lines...
if using d same song for two mixes is copying then using the same pics for two diff siggies should also be termed so...if it sounds ridiculous in terms of siggy..den it should be applied to vidmixes too....
esp when dis problem arises mostly with the recent popular numbers..like those from oso..jwm...everybody listens to d song..and everyone loves it...der r bound to be more than one mixes on such songs....
and frankly i don't see a way to solve such a situation...
d suggestion of pming d vidmaker befor making a mix is fine...but then wat abt those who r not active in d forum...like in d case of raksha..she's hardly ever active here..thus had no idea abt d vmix...now that she also made a vidmix on d same song....wat abt her efforts?...and if u ask me..her vmix was her own original perception of the song too...if she's made to scrap it... or not allowed to post here in the forum or share it here..den i think its unfair..though its her choice if she wants to scrap it or not...
but if u go by that rule..den u take away d right of a not so active member to make vmix..and u seriously can't expect d person to go through all d old topics to be sure
and how on earth would sumone keep count of the songs already used...and d songs still to be used.... der r many vidmixes on both the couples...
plus der's d issue of how quick u are in making mixes....and who's d first one to post it...esp in d case of much-sought after songs....
in my opinion...an ay mix and tr mix cannot be compared..not only d couples and deir love tracks are starkly diff from each oter..even d viewers of d mixes are not d same... obv d ay fans don't watch a tr mix and tr fans don't watch an ay one..barring few...so if there's no obv competition den wat is d problem here?
and if u go by d unwritten code..since i use d song first..den its my song..and u'll have to take my permission...den der can be a lot of problems if sumone knowningly or unknowingly doesn't do so..den wat can u do abt it?..nuthing...which can lead to resentment
frankly when anyone chooses to make a mix...i am sure dey go for a song not used before...why put in a lot of effort when u know u r not d first one making a mix on it...so if der is a mix on d same song..den d high chances r d person had no idea abt it...or she wasn't quick enough to be the first one to post it....whether she chooses to pm and tell abt d vidmix..den its her choice really..
i for one..am not going through alll mixes ever made just to be sure...before making vidmix..but yes i will def try not using dose songs which i know for sure are already used....mainly cos it kills half d fun of making d vmix...
but ya if i have no choice but use d song..if i am already making one..den i don't mind pming d person and inform her before posting d mix...
having said that i really don't mind if sumone uses any song if after i use dem ..widout asking me...cos even she doesn't ask..i can't do a thing abt it except holding a grudge against her..so its much better to let go
i don't disagree with d fact dat its not a good feeling to see d song used again on another couple..but its def not copying..and one can't possibly go on making sure that no one uses d song ever.....it just won't work…
