Imitation is, but in this case I think Jeff's point is more of videos being taken and posted without permission. Copyright infringement.

These videographers like Jeff Kristensen, Dean Mills, Jeff Converse, etc. work extremely hard and spend a bunch of money to travel to shows to bring the fans racing videos of stuff the fans would otherwise not see. These guys need to be supported through buying their DVDs so they can continue to do what they do best.

By being in the business I can tell you we have seen a lot of video and the fans of Sprint and Midget racing are some of the luckiest because these guys that shoot your races are some of the best guys we have seen in the business. Be grateful of their work and please support them.

Now, we have nothing against this new site, but if they are just grabbing video and not compensating these guys, that is wrong... ultimately this site, or any site of this type, will look to generate income and if they are doing so, these video people need to be paid. You cannot open a store (any store) without buying product to fill that store. Well these videos are the product and those who produce them should be compensated.

Jeff, btw, I will be calling you... the end of March and all of April has been extremely hectic.
