Hello. It feels a bit strange that my first post in this forum would be in a discussion about copyright, but this specific 2 hour compilation video encouraged me to download Mandelbulber, Mandelbulb3d and some other modern fractal renderers myself, mostly because the rather mediocre overall video quality made the beautiful shapes a pain to watch and urge for better quality. For me, this compilation posed a nice "hub" to jump to the channels of quite a few artists without having to manually search youtube for random fractal videos first. But of course I understand the concerns about an unrelated 3rd party offering a download for content you guys created.
So I guess Truman Brown will be happy to see that the video was taken down by youtube just a few hours ago, and the page is now mentioning his copyright claim.
Hello and welcome!
Regarding your point, the person in question could just as easily have made a playlist rather than using people's stuff without asking.
In fact, he could have just asked!
I know that sounds crazy - asking for permission to use something that isn't yours - but it is usually all it takes. Not doing so is rude and discourteous and invites whatever consequences follow.
But I'm glad it got you working with some of the new toys!!
Nobody said it was *all* bad, but is still a naughty thing to do, using other people's work without permission.
