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.
carvidfan appears to be a 54 year old chinese woman living in the USA who has submitted 260(!) videos.
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.
Of which a good chunk are from TMS_USA here's a few other PriusChat videos that are supposedly his/hers Driv4 - OWNER INFLUENCE Owners Influenced The New 2010 Prius From the S.F. event Driv4 - 2010 Toyota Prius Self Parking System Another video from the L.A. event. Looks like HTMLSpinnr's video Driv4 - 2010 Toyota Prius Self Park In Car Demo Here's Eco_Accelerometry's video from the Detroit event Driv4 - 2010 Toyota Prius Hybrid System
Feel free, I don't mind. I pinched the original image anyway. Feel free to use my youtube videos too everyone.
