Duplicate Ruling

Seems more appropriate to discuss in it's own thread instead of breaking up an ongoing political discussion.

Here's the situation...3 days and 2.5 hours ago mintbbb posted this 8.5 minute interview with Bush.

About 4.5 hours later I posted a 1.3 minute clip from the middle of that interview that was a focus on a single important topic for discussion.

I was unaware of the other video until mintbbb posted a link to the "full interview here" as the second comment on my video 10 hours before either video was even sifted. Because she did not call dupe I assumed it was cool with her to let both videos stand on their own.

If we go strictly by what it says in the FAQ then mine is a dupe. But the way the FAQ is written "A duplicate video is one which contains content already on VideoSift in a published, queued, personal queued, or dead video submission." This allows for my shorter video to be posted first and mintbbb's longer video to be posted 2nd and it would not count as a dupe because it contains significant content that is not in my shorter video. Thus both videos stay.

It seems to me if the longer video has a significant amount of content to deem it as not a dupe of the shorter that the reverse should be true.
