I have been on the books for a year and a half. I have been around here lurking for almost five years for hundreds of hours.

Precedent such as it may be called respective to significant content is acknowledged by me repeatedly in what I have commented. The overall scope of the precedent of nebulous variance to which you and others here, however long here, amounts to little other than wishful thinking and is not shared by all represented in your poll or not.

While I have and have had respect for much you have said here and elsewhere, I care not for your tone or its inferences that time here has conferred upon you some superior ability or powers of disernation exclusive to time onsite.

Polls here and elsewhere can be and sometimes are useful. As has been noted here and elsewhere as well, they can be and often are little more than circle jerks. Thus, popular and satisfying to those participating but less so to repugnant to those observing.

@<a rel="nofollow" href="http://videosift.com/member/chicchorea" title="member since October 15th, 2009" class="profilelink">chicchorea, precedent has been set. It has been for a while. Believe me, this isn't the first time the "dupe" conversation has reared its ugly head on here. You've only been here for over a year, but for some of the other members who've been on here for much longer, they know better.
The general consensus is that if a video shows enough of a variance from the original then it's not a dupe. For instance, if you sifted the dramatic chipmunk but with the audio changed to lounge music, it would NOT be considered a dupe even though the length is identical to the original dramatic chipmunk video. The same goes when sifting a shorter clip of a longer source. If there's enough of a change or if the change adds something different, then it's not a dupe.
Regardless, the poll will be our official 'go to' resource for squashing any dissenting opinions regarding what is and what is not a dupe.

Laytex gloves, a rusty knife, lame lounge music and processed meat. Yep, that qualifies as *creepy.

Not bad, but sounds like lounge music which I suppose is both apt to the subject and antithetical to the sound of the original.

Remember, it's always the fat guy playing the drums. Flat singing, she looks messy and good for nothing more than lounge music, tho this tries to hard even for that.

As the R.E.G. Project and its predecessor make abundantly and soulfully cool and clear, the hippest and most creative chillout music isn't limited to the confines of European clubs. The first R.E.G. Project -- three Beirut DJs named Ralph Khoury, Elie Barbar, and Guy Manoukian crafting their own interpretations of Arabic classics -- made a global smash on Claude Challe Presents: Near Eastern Lounge in 2003.

Bringing an Arabic twist to the Buddha Bar/Café del Mar scene, the trio draws from heavy house and lounge music in a spectacularly funky and hypnotic fusion of East meets West.
