Is legal (moral, ethical) modify Emumovies snap videos without permission?
Cananas:
Well, in this forum (spanish):
http://marcianitos.org/foro/showthread.php?t=7267
A guy is cutting the console movies to make it shorter and he is uploading on DivShare.
It seems that Circo has no been asked for permission.
The question is: Is that legal ethic?
EDIT: modified the titlle to seems less categorical.

Those have been "edited" by me. I have no idea why it's bugging you so much. Like I told you there. Those were edited for MY project. I decided to upload them on divshare since I thought everyone could benefit from them. I DO NOT SELL THEM. IM NOT MAKING ANY PROFIT WHAT SO EVER. I CLEARLY STATE THAT THEY ARE FROM Emumovies.
Yet you decide to come here and ask about the "legallity". This coming from a guy who is a Forum Moderator at Link removed by saint -- don't post links to ROMs and ISOs please that offers links to roms and Isos among other pirated software which they upload at Megaupload. Which last I heard is a big NO NO.
Cananas:
I only said there and here that you would must get a permission from Circo to upload your videos to people can download them. The rest of your post is rubbish.
DaveMMR:
I'll be honest in saying I don't specifically know what the movies are in question. Are they emu movies (i.e. gameplay in action)? If so, the legal copyright holders (the game companies) are the ones with the legal rights to the footage, not whoever recorded it and popped it online. It's one of those gray areas, but the person who originally made them has no ownership to them, he or she just recorded something (and gonzo edited it further).
If it's original content, then gonzo may have had to seek permission.
I am not a lawyer, good night everyone!

Here's my original post translated to english:
What's up everyone. I created this post to let everyone know of a project i'm working on for mame and other consoles. I found a website called divshare where you can post videos, pictures, and archives and as long as you register, they should stay online forever! (the one thing I don't know is how much bandwidth you are permitted each month)
Objective: Make Mame and Console Previews available to everyone
Video will be from 10-30 seconds in length
Most of the Console videos used will be from Emumovies
Most of the mame videos used are from Crashtest's original videos which are MNG's but already encoded using the Xvid codec. (Very High Quality)
Here's the first batch:
Atari 2600 DivShare File - atari_2600.txt
Atari 5200 DivShare File - Atari_5200.txt
Atari 7800 DivShare File - Atari_7800.txt
Atari Jaguar DivShare File - Atari_Jaguar.txt
Sega Master System DivShare File - Sega_Master_System.txt
Turbo Duo DivShare File - Turbo_Duo.txt
Neo Geo Pocket DivShare File - Neo_Geo_Pocket.txt
Daphne Laser Disc DivShare File - Daphne.txt
What I would like to know from everyone is what would be a good way to split the videos. With the 2600 videos it was pretty easy since they are pretty small to begin with so they only needed 2 zip files, 7 and 6mb each. The reason I ask is because I know not everyone enjoys a high speed connection. Some videos are not named properly and are missing the ()
Right now i'm looking into a program that let's you look inside of zip files so people only download what they need.
