NP. I googled for 20mins looking for a video duplicate checker, didnt find one. If anyone does, post it here.
Yes, I most certainly was referring to the video on the Homepage. I thought it looked suspicious. I am definatly guilty of "Borrowing" assets from places but those checkered flag video's look out of place on anything but a Checkered Flag Auto Group website. Or at least something with a black and green theme 
I once made something for a TDI jetta with our dealer group name on it, and saw it as a tiled and pixelated background of another vw dealer's twitter page. Flattering, but it looked teribble. :thumbdn:

A DealerRefresh member questions the legitimacy of Douglas Volkswagen's website after discovering they appear to be using a Jetta TDI review video that was originally created by Checkered Flag, hosted on a third-party server rather than embedded from YouTube. The discussion explores the legal implications of redistributing video content without permission, with stevenc317 providing detailed technical evidence of the unauthorized use, while other members suggest this is likely the result of outsourced web development by vendors unfamiliar with copyright law. The thread concludes that if the original creator (Christine from Checkered Flag) objects, she can pursue legal action, but the larger takeaway is that dealers should use tools like Copyscape to monitor content theft and be cautious about what their web vendors are actually doing.
