Teacher always taught me plagarizing is WRONG!!!

Even in this day and age, where you can get any information you want from google or wikipedia, we all know that plagarizing in wrong. It's morally unethical and let's face it- STUPID! It's so easy to get information and write it your way that taking other people's written work without asking or getting permission is just plain idiotic. Yes, blogs are pretty much open to anyone, are very easy to steal from- but the question is- why would you? This is our intellectual property- and thanks to wikipedia here are some interesting facts about intellectual property.

Intellectual property rights are a bundle of exclusive rights over creations of the mind, both artistic and commercial. The former is covered by copyright laws, which protect creative works, such as books, movies, music, paintings, photographs, and software, and give the copyright holder exclusive right to control reproduction or adaptation of such works for a certain period of time.

In all countries where the Berne Convention standards apply, copyright is automatic, and need not be obtained through official registration with any government office. Once an idea has been reduced to tangible form, for example by securing it in a fixed medium (such as a drawing, sheet music, photograph, a videotape, or a computer file), the copyright holder is entitled to enforce his or her exclusive rights.

So according to the Berne Convention on copyright laws, which the US is a party to, this post is considered my intellectual property and may not be used without permission or proper citation. Please feel free to take this information and share it- but give the credit where it is due.

You may be asking why all this is important, well I'm going to tell you. It came to our attention today that the makers of the Robsessed DVD, Revolver Entertainment, have been stealing material from certain blogs. For the full inside story please go to ROBsessed and read their post here. We are asking our readers to support the Twilight Blog Community and please do not buy the Robsessed DVD, as it would be encouraging them or others to do the same. Once you've gone to ROBsessed and read the full post you can contact Revolver Entertainment at usa@revolvergroup.com. Also according to IMDB, Revolver Entertainment is listed as one of the distributors for Rob's The Haunted Airman, though only for the UK. US distribution will be done by E1 Entertainment. Also check out ROBsessed's update post here.

Now since that was pretty sad and kinda depressing I'm also going to put up what I like to call my Rob Montage. This is my first attempt at making a video like this so let me know what you think.

Death Cab for Cutie's "Meet Me on the Equinox" MTV Premiere

Here it Twifreaks! Fresh from its 8pm premiere on MTV, Death Cab For Cutie's "Meet Me on the Equinox" from The New Moon Soundtrack and motion picture

Death Cab For Cutie - New Music - More Music Videos

My Thoughts: Simple and that's what I like about it. Just the band and clips from the movie, plus the song is actually good. Enjoy!!!

*Aimee: That was awesome. I liked the scenes mixed in and they way it progressed, thought it fit the song well. For those who are trying to keep their purity the clips shown are basically the same as any of the trailers so you decide if you want to watch the video.

*UPDATE* Death Cab for Cutie Video

*Thank you to The Twilight Lexicon as I could not find this anywhere.

New Books, Pumpkins, and Confessions

New News from Stephenie's site today. Some new editions are going on sale soon. First listed is The Twilight Sage: New Moon Movie Tie-In (already on sale)- same good story, cool cover art (according to Seth.) The next goes on sale tomorrow, erm, today October 6th, The Twilight Saga: New Moon- The Official Illustrated Movie Companion. We have the Twilight one which is awesome so I'm looking forward to getting my own copy of this but I'm going to wait until the movie actually comes out so nothing is spoiled. Lastly we have the New Moon Collector's Edition and The Twilight Journals both on sale October 13th.

Also over at TwiCrack Addict today I saw that there are actually Twilight Pumpkin Carving Stencils available! How AWESOME is that?!? Here's what they look like.
I'm afraid to actually carve a pumpkin and leave it outside in my neighborhood but I might have to buy them and set up pumpkins in the house and hope the cats them them alone. Here's a link to purchase: click here.

On a personal note, I have been trying to stay away from Eclipse pictures, set news, etc- It's been hard going and no I'm not upset if I see something but lately I've been remembering (In all this lead up to New Moon) how much I didn't know about Twilight before it came out and how obsessed I got over the movie. I watched it over and over again at the theatre, i found online (yes illegal) copies online to watch every night for months after it came out. I bought all the merchandise I could lay my hands on in this podunk town- and I became a Twitard. Now with New Moon, I've seen a lot of information, clips, videos, and yes I loved watching the Trailers and video mashups and all that but I feel almost apathetic about the movie coming out. I'm hoping I get more excited the closer it comes out but I'm afraid that I've seen almost all of the movie in all the clips and pictures I've seen already. So with this feeling I have distanced myself from the Eclipse news- and let me say I'm so excited for Eclipse to come out already. I don't know what it's going to entail, I don't know how it's going to look (beside KStew's really bad wig, who could miss that picture?) and so I think I have found my passion again. I went to go see Fame this weekend and there was a New Moon trailer before the movie and yes I got excited because it was the first time I got to see the trailer on the big screen but oh boy I cannot wait until Eclipse. I feel almost like I did when I finished reading Twilight and had to wait to get my hands on the rest of the books- pure excitement and joy! Perhaps I have reclaimed my TV (Twilight Virginity) card but whatever it is I'm glad to have found it.
