What I was referring to is this (taken from animemusicvideos.org forums):

Here is how all of this relates to us: A fan was confused about some Evanescence AMVs found on this site. For some reason, the fan decided to attempt to contact Evanescence and ask if the band had created the videos. Whoever received the message from the fan placed the question on the desk of the bands lawyer so that they could best answer the fans question. The lawyer then asked the bands licensing department if our site had a license to offer Evanescence AMVs. Since the answer was no and the band would like to maintain the enforceability of the copyright on their songs, the lawyer had no choice but to take some kind of action.
This is what happens when people aren't forced to think even a little bit before they are provided services. Everybody is able to think that much, if required. You said some things require no brain power. I'm saying they should. Well, since nothing has yet happened to anime due to Narutofan, I suppose it could be argued this amv comparison is not relevant at all here. Only time will tell the truth.
