Reguarding this article on the wiki : http://utaite.wikia.com/wiki/Utaite_Wiki%3AReprinting_Guide_%26_Tips

I feel that this article should be reworded to be a tutorial on how to download video's, not reprint them. Reprinting is wrong and I don't think the wiki should be condoning this.

I have noticed that the amount of singers who have started to make youtube channels or put in their video descriptions that they do not want their work reposted has been increasing and this is because they have started to aknowledge the problem that people are reposting their work without permission.The reason not all utaite's put "please do not reprint my videos" in their video descriptions is because they assume their fans will have the common curtesy to not repost work that does not belong to them. Just because a user does not say on their profile that they do not want their work reposted does mean that you have permission to repost it.

If the reprinter has gotten permission to post the work, then that is a different story, though since most fans might not think "I should as permission first" because maybe the do not speak Japanese and do not know how to communicate with the singer to get permission I do not think the wiki should be encouraging fans to steal their favorite singers videos.

You are not showing support to your favorite singers by listening to their reprints on youtube. You show support by them by watching the original NND video or watching the video on that singers official youtube channel.

I think that this page is outdated and should be reworded.
