The kid (Thomas Garnier) is an asshole for stealing other people's videos, no doubt, but you're no better for stereotyping the entire French educational system just because of one scumbag.

Yeah the whole world is like this - Apple copy from other people, Samsung copy from Apple and someone else will copy from Samsung etc, that is why you need to copy right things.

I don't see how any one can sue any one if it is not copyrighted and infact if the person copy rights it first, he/she can own the rights and require so lengthy court battles to win back your right of ownership.

If TTimpossible is using it in making profit - then that is not good, if he is using it to give him credit - that is not good, but if he is sharing it out of good deeds - it can be okay - just maybe he needs to have few words of credits from the orginal source.

Plus, youtubing it and worry about plagiarism - then please don't put on youtube, but rather have your own website that prevents downloading.

I download videos to show to my students (that cannot afford a computer, yet alone have internet connection). I hope I don't need to pay you guys royalities for doing that?

 

I just had a look at http://www.ttimpossible.com/
http://www.ttimpossible.com/2012/09/interview-with-dimitrij-ovtcharov-at.html

I see that all the quotes from the interview is like:

TTimpossible: "asking question"
Dima: "answering questions"

Okay - that is wrong.....

Atleast he should use your name or not just a name at all and just "share" the information than oppose to making it sound like those words came from him.....
I can understand if he shares the oringal source, he may also require to get permission from you, or have it removed if the owner is not happy. But to modify the dialog is fraud - that means one can also modify Dima's answer to the question too

I thought TTimpossible was only sharing videos (given him the doubt of sharing with good deeds), and not redistriputing the whole tabletennisvista site, which includes Frontosa's and other peoples properties as TTimpossibles own....

Now finding out the truth, I am also very disgusted by this 13 years old's action.

Frontosa - appologies for not understanding the full picture before posting my other posts earlier
