If you've seen them already, this isn't for you. It's meant to show them in streaming format to those who haven't seen them yet. We had so much coverage during the CPL Summer event, that these great videos didn't get all the attention they should have!

music costs money, want better music consider supporting MFAVP and GotFrag. All of these movies produced by the community are completely open to be sued by the people who they use for their music.

fatal1ty clip screws up near the end for me, Midway's voice gets really slow and then the sound/video sync is messed up for the rest of the interview

just out of interest since i don't know much about the law, but i thought you could only be sued for using them if you aimed to make a profit out of using them? i mean when you host them for prime users only i guess thats making a profit, but is it alright for a normal fragmovie?
I am not cool.

Hawkins you cant really have them in any movie without the artist permission. Doesn't matter if the movie is free or not.

NNOOOO MAKE THEM PAY!!

Ok, anyways, the new videos (summer 04) are nice but the (summer 03) videos were WAY better, im not sure if it was just quality of iviews or just the setup in general but i preferred the old videos a lot better.
