Is WatchFIRSTnow just downloading other people/teams/organizational video and uploading them to their own Vimeo Account and "Archiving" events?
|
That is the source of some of the content yes. We are constantly looking for sources for videos. We are creating an
archive so that there is one location to find all records.

We are not claiming any content as our own. In fact, we operate at a financial LOSS and have no source of income coming from the archive. We spent countless hours sorting and organizing content. We fund the project from our own pockets. To call what we are doing unprofessional is insulting.

Why not just submit videos to The Blue Alliance?

There are many problems with submitting videos to TBA. Most YouTube videos have their audio removed after a few months due to copyright claims. And all of the videos linked on TBA are subject to users deleting their YouTube accounts or removing videos.
