if you watch this they say bethesda and everything.. i just dont see how this can be made without infringing your guys' copyrights... at first i thought it was a fake but now im wondering if its real.. please let me know

It's obviously fake, I don't think he actually expects people to believe it's real. I'm sure it qualifies as a fan-made video/trailer.

It is fake. But I doubt it's copyright infrigement.

so people can make "fan made trailers" and put bethesda in the begining like that? and say

No one's going to pay attention to it anyway (well... most people), so I don't really care.

Well the beginning is from the Morrowind trailer, so he didn't really put it there, it's just a clip.

And yes, people make fan-made trailers all the time, though they're rarely worth watching.

The only actually bad thing he could have done is Misquoting, and that is just frowned upon, not actually illegal.

At one point you see an Oblivion Doom Stone, taken right out of the game.
Some of the graphics don't look half as real as Oblivion does.

see if you check out some other videos some are very beleievable but they always let us know its fake but this one dosent which made me wonder if its okay.

Not to be rude but, what does it matter to you? Youtube is littered with copyright violating content, if this one does too, then it isn't a rare occurrence.

well cause if for some reason it was slightly real it would be great . but i really was just curious if it was infringement. its just curiousity.

:lol: It's things like that which make the videos almost worth watching, just so you can laugh at their obvious failure. 90% of all the fanmade trailers aren't even creative, are put together shoddily, and propose plot suggestions that are usually Oblivion 2.0 or other ludicrous scenarios.


Not to mention that, if there is any law being violated whatsoever, the only punitive action that can be taken is requesting the removal of the video. The anonymity the internet provides, coupled with the implausibility of seeking damages against the huge number of violators, prevents much else.

If there were any believable fake ESV trailers, they would be spoken of all over the internet. There are none such.

Well, seeing as there are Hobbit-Holes in one of the screenshots... Am I the only one that kinda got the idea that this guy is a shill linking to his own youtube video? Maybe I'm just cynical.

He fail at this video, you could totally tell the cyrodill forest in the end.

I say kick him in the Gonads!!!

I'm going to close this thread, because it's the wrong way to address the subject video.

I don't speak for gamesas in this; I'm just a volunteer moderator. But it's generally been the case that fan-made tributes, so long as they aren't scurrilous or intentionally misleading, fly under the radar.

That said, the moderators don't think the poll choices or the opinions expressed here have been constructive.
