If Action Movies Were Even Remotely Real

says...

I've used VideoSift for a while now, but only felt it necessary to make an account yesterday. The original embedded video was from a YouTube channel that had ripped the video off (stolen) from the original channel.
I think it's unfair that this channel, that had not put the work into making the video was getting views and potentially losing the correct channel revenue.
I didn't think I had the reputation points to get the siftbot to change the videos about, but it has been done now by eric3579 which is awesome!!

I notice you've just joined today, so i'll give you the short version of how Videosift works.

The movie isn't "stolen" it was "found". Effectively, the way the site works is it's a giant pile of clips that our users have found on other websites, be it Youtube, videosift, collegehumor, etc. And they're brought here, where they're voted on by members to see weather it's worth staying or not.

It's kind of a "best of the best" site, where they literally sift the good from bad videos (get it? like videosift? ahh, so clever.)

Anyway, in no way does the poster claim that they have anything to do with the movie, and in fact, posting videos that you made is prohibited, So, don't worry, nobody is "Stealing" anything. If the original poster didn't want it shared, they could have set the sharing settings on their video to private, or disabled.
