    Is the complaint that you just want credit for having created the video ?

    Tideland, it looks to me that there's a watermark on the Driv4 video but not on your on YouTube.
    If this is the case, it's not just that he ripped off your video but he also watermarked it as his own.

    Well it's a video I made during the L.A. test drive event. It's not that important (like some leaked video of a movie that hasn't been released) but I think it's more of the fact that the person has no respect for the owner of the video (i.e. me) and his/her failure to cite sources (Which is becoming more rare in the days of online sharing).

    This is one reason why we encourage you to post only a teaser paragraph and then link to the website when you post news articles here on PriusChat. We don't want the entire article because we want to give credit to the web host and author of the article.
