AMVs should also not be confused with fan-made " general animation " videos using non-Japanese animated video sources like western cartoons, or with the practice of vidding in Western media fandom, which evolved convergently and has a distinct history and fan culture.

Parallels can be drawn between AMVs and songvids, non-animated fan-made videos using footage from movies, television series, or other sources.

John Oppliger of AnimeNation stated that fan-produced AMVs are largely popular with Western fans however not with Japanese fans.

The second reason he cited was that because Westerners are " encouraged by social pressure to grow out of cartoons and comics during the onset of adolescence " whereas Japanese natives grow up with animation " as a constant companion ", English-speaking fans tend to utilize and reconstruct existing anime to create AMVs whereas Japanese fans " are more intuitively inclined " to create or expand on existing manga and anime.

In conventions AMVs are usually judged by the category they are competing in, for example an action video would compete with other action videos.

In an interview with site AnimeNewsNetwork, FUNimation Entertainment copyright specialist Evan Flournay said they generally see AMVs as a sort of free advertising.

In recent years there has been an increased demand, primarily on the part of the record industry, for the removal of AMVs from sites like YouTube, Google Video, or the AnimeMusicVideos. org aggregation site, with particular regard to YouTube due to its relative popularity compared to other AMV sources, as well as its for-profit status.

In his book Code: Version 2. 0 and a subsequent talk in Google's AtGoogleTalks Author's Series, Creative Commons founder Lawrence Lessig specifically mentions AMVs as an example when dealing with the legality and creative nature of digital remix culture.

Later the same year, the FDF ordered 24 AMOS-equipped Patria AMVs for delivery 2006-2009.

On 30 January 2008 it was announced that Patria has offered to deliver 30 first AMVs within four months of ordering, if the Czech Army chooses AMV as its next APC.

Curt's visit to the livery stable had been merely a precaution in case anyone should be watching.

I felt that he looked at me coldly and appraisingly and seemed to be uncertain what his attitude towards me should be, but he did not say one word which might indicate that he had been told of advances to his wife.

I don't suppose a wife should be grateful to her husband for saving her life, but I am.

That should do it, he thought, because Miss Langford had said she was going to be strict about school work.

Ratified in the Republican Party victory in 1952, the Positive State is now evidenced by political campaigns being waged not on whether but on how much social legislation there should be.

But much of the land which the aborigine wanders looks as if it should be hospitable.

As John T. Westbrook says in his article, `` Twilight Of Southern Regionalism '' ( Southwest Review, Winter 1957 ): `` The miasmal mausoleum where an Old South, already too minutely autopsied in prose and poetry, should be left to rest in peace, forever dead and ( let us fervently hope ) forever done with ''.

Why should this be so??

As a word of caution, we should be aware that in actual practice no message is purely one of the four types, question, command, statement, or exclamation.

He says: `` beside the Protestant philosophy of Progress, as expressed in radical or conservative millenarianism, should be placed the doctrine of the democratic faith which affirmed it to be the duty of the destiny of the United States to assist in the creation of a better world by keeping lighted the beacon of democracy ''.

Obviously there has been no agreement on what American conservatism is, or rather, what it should be.

Ideally speaking, it should be allowed to operate only where the public has a great stake in the continuity of supply or services, and where the actions of a single proprietor are secondary to the needs of society.

In all other areas, private initiative of the `` proprietorship '' type should be urged to produce the desired goods and services.

Corporations should pay added taxes, to be used for educational purposes ( not necessarily of the formal type ).

The right to leave legacies should be substantially reduced and ultimately eliminated.

Strikes should be declared illegal against corporations because disagreements would have to be settled by government representatives acting as controllers of the corporation whose responsibility to the state would now be defined against proprietorship because employees and proprietors must be completely interdependent, as they are each a part of the whole.
