Jorden,
No offense intended if you were referring to me at all.
I have to say that honestly, I don't quite get your view-point though.
I mean, don't get me wrong, I'm all for everyone being able to control how their stuff is distributed, but it's a bit of a free-for-all out here on the internet, no?
The way I see it, if you're going to publish anything online (especially in a blog of any kind), you can sort of expect that people are going to link to your work from all over the place, most of the time without asking. I'd say that this is basically the spirit of having a blog in the first place ... and personally, I'm flattered when people actually want to link to stuff I've done - no matter how they do it.
I'm also not quite sure what you mean about being shallow by only checking the video forum ... ? Isn't this why we have a video forum? So that we don't have to go hunting for the bad-ass shit? Am I shallow if I don't read any of the other forums?

I ain't even trying to argue with you dude. Not really

I can even relate to your feelings having been publishing shit out here for a few years now and having people "hack" my site folders and downloading videos that weren't even "public", among other minor intrusions.
It's basically the same deal every time you post a direct link to the media clip instead of the attribute page that links to it, too.
I dunno. I'm not really asking you to defend your position. I'm just a bit confused about your statement, so I'm thinking in type.
Sincerely,
Thank you for publishing your extraordinary talent!! I haven't played for about a month, but your videos have inspired me to get out there again ... soon ...
