I agree. but man, there is nothing we can do about it. if everyone was on this forum, then we could point it out and they could be humiliated for being 'look at me look at me'.

but there is only a few of us on dropzone.com.

Even skydiving movies is iffy. i have 2 films up there, and some kid in South America found one on SDM, and posted it on youtube. its not a All BASE film, but still.

Never thought about that before. Good point.

Most people post BASE videos on skydivingmovies, and that one is used as a frequent source for real-TV style programs (and 'funny/horrible video' websites)

Having seen how those companies work up close, 90% of the time, they dont care who owns what rights.
If they air 100 videos, and they get one laysuit, thats costs them less then actually trying to secure rights for every single video they use.

If you dont want your stuff to end up in the media at some point.
Then just dont post it on the internet...period.

There was a nice canadian couple that videoed a bunch of us that got hurt at the POPS meet 2004, they sold the video to RealTV without ever checking with any of us that were hurt. The wife, who was doing the video, went so far as to zoom in when the ambulance guys were taking us away. Some months later I saw it on TV and it was all fresh in my mind yet again and continued to be aired. I got an attorney to pressure RealTV to pull the plug on the video. I wasn't interested in the money, I just didn't ever want to see it again...the memory was enough.

well, what do you WANT to do?
that is the most relevant question. it's hard to secure a job that you'd rather not be doing... (those people are the type the bosses worry will spend all day on-line!)

If you're making a film about BASE you might as well make it about BASE. But yeah, I'm bored of it. Unless I'm in it. Then it's the shit.

[Calvin19 0]

Exactly.

well have fun all by yourself then. and somewhere else at that.

[diablopilot 2]

It's pretty funnysad how only one person got the point.


The "look at me" attitude, is crap. Next time someone gets busted, and looses $2500 in gear, think about it. Next time someone who shouldn't be jumping goes in and brings heat, think about it. Next time there is a new law passed against base jumping, think about it.

I disagree with everything you have posted in the above quote.

Here is my response to these situations:
"someone gets busted, and looses $2500 in gear,"
Haha! welcome to the club

"Next time someone who shouldn't be jumping goes in and brings heat,"
Ummm.. well, they should not have been jumping. Am I responsible? I think not. I also think that you screwed up priorities here.

"Next time there is a new law passed against base jumping"
Well, until BASERs unite for the common cause, this will be the likely results. Deal with it or do something about it instead of complaining.
I see it like this:
a. Deal with it = 0
b. Do something about it = 1
c. Complain = -3

Note: I see a lot of "Look at me" on your website.
A website is a website.
Oh, I see that you prefer to push your "look at me" on
myspace "http://www.myspace.com/diablopilot"
What is the difference? Myspace vs Youtube? You are exactly guilty of you are sick and tired of. But of course you post your "here I ams" on Myspace, even posting your income. Granted there is no BASE footage. But a "here I am" is a "here I am" website.
Irony is unbeffiting of your character.
I hope you can afford all people the same freedoms across the board that you have.
take care,
space

[diablopilot 2]

Big difference.

I don't represent illegal BASE jumping on my page.

But I wouldn't expect YOU to understand the difference.
