I understand, though, why others don't necessarily feel the way I do, but then I'm also a newbie with that new vidder smell, having only been doing this for about 8 or 9 months.
Wow. I thought you'd been vidding a lot longer than that.
And, actually, people do seem to feel the way you do - mostly, even people who still want specific permission requests want to share their vids; they're just afraid of a) TPTB b) fan stupidity or c) outright wrong behavior. (Hotlinking, for example. It is 2006. At this point, no one anywhere should need to be told that hotlinking is wrong. And yet somehow people still do it.)
