Website URL, yes -- but email? what good does that do other than ask for Spam and annoying messages.
You should know that, Mozgus, since you put your email with your DC remix torrents.
There's a difference. When I was stupid enough to put my email with those first few torrents, that email was in copiable text. Spambots found and abused that text based address without human assistance. But when you put your email in video data, no spambot will ever know. Only a few pathetic little pricks would actually put forth the energy to spam that. It's nothing to worry about. I've put my email in some of my music videos, during the years when I didn't have a web site. You need a way to claim your work, and video tags just don't do the trick. They can be easily removed, or lost during some asshole's recompression and redistrobution of the video.
And I've gotten a lot of quality emails from people over the years, especially in 2000 when a few of my videos were getting passed around P2P clients like wildfire. A lot of those emails turned into long-term online contacts
Good point! But I still think a URL is better than an email.
But if that's all you have...
He probbaly is trying to get the attetion of professionals in the industry, most wouldnt bother to persue him any further if he didn't have personal contact information in his video.
