'One' - Final Release

[danjoe]

Mr. Wittens,

First off, sorry to make you waiting. I got back home earlier today from campus work right after I got your email in order to reply your comments. This is serious, I didn't make it up. Since my english is not as good as you, I'll try my best to clear up the rants here and hope you'll understand.

Just a bit intro:
I am a long-time admirer of your art works since your very first pack. You've always been my avs hero no matter how bad or sarcastic your comments were. I'm agree with you that my skill is not at your level, I still have to learn a lot from you, no kidding here.
I wish I could do the same like you. And just like you do, I do my avs presets purely for *fun*, not to make money out of it, and I have zero intent to rip somebody's work for personal gains or even sell my name off using somebody's property. No, I repeat, hell NO!

I'm not sure if this goes along with your point of view, but the original mission of the ONE was to appreciate special people like YOU, the Masters of avs. Including Joaquim Jardim, he is a great motivator in the avs world, no one has such great motivation giving consistent reviews for years. (hint: don't you see those other popular names on 'Goodbye' preset?) Ok, maybe I didn't say that explicitly when I say 'Greetings' but I did really mean it. Also, I did this not just once, if you've seen 'Greetings' preset you'll find another 'bows and kudos' to avs community, which is including you and anybody who read this. Have you seen any other pack that mentions as many avs creator names as mine? Hope you see my point here. If I am a greedy person, who cares about that names????
Again, on the Author's comment it says: "Without you guyz, this not gonna happen. You're very welcome to jot down your comments."
I wrote that in case I failed to mention somebody's name because I might possibly be forgotten.

Don't get my wrong, I'm not trying to kiss someone's ring here...but I'm just telling you the TRUTH. I did this for appreciation

Ok, now these are the answers for your questions/comments:

Apparently mister Tandiman thought copyright and intellectual property is just a joke.

Please ponder the comment in 'ELVISion' preset.

That's no problem, if it weren't that this pack fails to give any mention of me (or the author asked my permission).

I might not asked you beforehand but I DID mention your name as I mentioned earlier above.

Dan didn't think it was worth his time to email me and ask for my permission.

You're right at this point. I didn't do it because I quoted your name
already eventhough it's not directly because I 'greet' to more than one person. (hint: 'Goodbye' preset)

And the fact that some of my DM's were included *without rectangular coordinates turned on* (which makes them do exactly *NOTHING*) proves that the author didn't spend even 5 minutes on each preset.

What...5 minutes on EACH presets you said?? In fact, I spent hours to make it "perfect", at least for me. What the rectangular coordinates has to do with 5 minutes presets then? If it does exactly nothing then why they made it as an option?

I proved that my work was used simply as a way of 'upgrading' mediocre presets and without decent credit (proof: more than half the presets contain a DM or image by me... count them).

If I used your 'DMs/image' and I mentioned your name, what's wrong with that?

The simple 'greetings to' is not the same as 'uses work by'...

Yup, it's not certainly the same.
Greetings is to someones whom you appreciate/honor to.
Almost any dictionary gives that definition.

I'm simply defending my intellectual property: if some people wish to see me as a boogey-man who breaks down other people's work, you have the right to do so.

I fully respect your intellectual property no matter what. *period*
Nope, I don't think you're a boogey-man or something like that.
Although I have a right to do so, I'll KEEP calling you an *outstanding* avs creator.

I'm tired of talking against people who have their fingers stuck in their ears and don't even bother writing up serious replies like I do.

If I had to left my work behind me just to write this reply, do you call that not serious???? Do you think that I'm just sitting idle and doing nothing every single minute? Mind you, I'm an excited student like you.

I know your feeling about this. Sorry if I didn't mention this earlier. Btw, I have no close-relationship with winamp.com staff at all. I don't even bother who they are.

I don't wanna go further on this argumentation thing, if this still annoys you in some ways or you don't like it so that you'll ask me to DELETE the ONE pack entirely from winamp.com or other websites, then by all means, I'll do it. Isn't that sound fair to you?

Thank you for your consideration and time.

bowing respectfully,
