I hope this is helpful info for anyone who can't figure out why their videos end up muted or deleted due to copyrights from WMG.

Wow. What... the fuck. This, ladies and gentlemen, is why I have not payed for any music in three years.

[Anshinritsumai]

Well, of all the peeps on that list, theres only 2 I would even consider using in my videos. Enigma, & Vivian Hsu.

It's bullshit that they do that though, I mean god forbid they actually get free advertisement to the shit...

Your reputation with Record Labels has severely decreased.
Your reputation with The Internet has increased.

[Mooga]

THANK G-D!
They haven't removed Backstreet Boys yet!

BACKSTREETS BACK ALRIGHT!

[MonoXideAtWork]

tbh, I think its a good thing for video game highlight movies.

I want to hear something new and interesting. Find a local band that wants some free advertising. They'll feed you tracks all day.

You're insane. Limiting music choices like that is not the (correction: best)way to get local bands free advertising.

[CaLeB-]

Looks like my UnKnown Moments 4 is going to be on another video site. Don't wanna see that get muted. Damn WMG...

[leilei]

youtube is not crap. they're doing the right thing taking down unauthorized use of music in videos. just because it's done for no money doesn't mean it does not infringe on their rights. please note if they didn't do this, they'd have their pants sued, users fined for use, and there'd be no youtube to speak of.

Can you imagine to try running and managing the most popular video site in the world and understand the consequences if you went cowboy rogue on the big copyright holders? Would you last?

I don't think that's what he meant. I think he meant that he is annoyed by all these attempts at "cool videos" that pretty much just take popular songs and run them along side video of [insert game here].

If not.. then that's at least what I mean, as I find it annoying to look for videos of well... anything and finding fallout boy blaring over what I thought was a good scene but is now destroyed but that annoying emo crap band.


Now, YouTube isn't exactly who's doing this, it's WMG. And I do disagree with their thought process. I don't believe that it makes any sort of sense when it comes to protecting their investment. It isn't like these people are making money off of WMG's intellectual property. Nor are they destroying the integrity. It's music, they are expressing it and showing people what it means to them as fans. Even if you don't like the music (sort of how I don't like Fallout Boy) The use of their songs in you tube isn't detrimental to the band. It just shows people what kind of depth can be attained...


Still, I really hate Fallout Boy. I think that's my point here.

3 Years? I don't think i've bought an actual cd since I was like 10. And I don't do that itunes crap. I used to download music during the napster erra, but even that I've stopped doing.

Personally imo if someone's paid for the song legally (as in bought a cd or through itunes), he should be able to use it as he wishes (provided he's not making money off of it).

I seriously don't see the harm in using music on homemade youtube videos. Can't wait for the record companies to crumble, they're pretty much shooting their own feet, fighting the public soo much.

[Iggy]

I only buy music of my favorite artist, Doro(she is on the AFM label, so WMG isn't getting any of my money). However, what everyone should do, is start a boycott..... of the Warner Music Group.

Seriously.... you want to make a statement, do a vocal boycott of them. In fact, it would even be good to start picketting record stores, and talking to customers and letting them know about this. Tell them that it's ok to buy non-Warner CDs, DVDs, and related products, but to boycott anything Warner puts out.

I could understand them trying to stop people from bootlegging their products.... but this is just retarded.

[Ihmhi]

30 seconds or less of music falls under fair use as I recall. So.. yeah, fuck 'em. I think their site is just going to go more and more downhill from here.

FF is doing this now, actually. I've been working on finding bands with good music and getting them for our future videos. Know any good ones? PM me with Myspace links.

Remind me to crack you upside the head next time you are down here.

You're absolutely right, but its out of our hands, so we need to make lemonade from lemons.

It sucks, but honestly, people were putting up whole albums up on youtube, and even though we know that it helps the band's popularity, which is ultimately good for the band, it's not good for the record companies, and they are striking back with lawsuits.

I hate the fact that sweeping "cover our ass" moves like this usually end up doing much more harm than good, but on the bright side of that, posting copywritten material is against TOS, and the videos involved could have gotten your account suspended/removed.

If that was the point, then yeah, I don't like that either and this might help that.

I know of one, but their myspace doesn't have any music on it for some reason, so I'll get you some and send you it when I get it.

Yeah, I don't like how it usually does more harm than good, that and I also don't see how a site like youtube makes it so the record company loses sales. Yeah you can listen to music on it for free, but for me to be able to take it with me, is a bit of a pain in the ass, I think, so I just don't see why they have to go after youtube like they do.

Sonic, if you can tell me how youtube has personally whored you or done you wrong ppl might listen. What do they owe you? Don't like a decesion facebook/youtube/twitter/insert company here makes? be brave enough or smart enough to start your own.

There's such a level of consumer entitlement in society that it makes me sick and i don't quite yet know what to make of it.

30 seconds or 10% of the song but its something like if the 10% is longer than 30 seconds u use 30 seconds and if 10% is smaller than 30 seconds u use the 10% something crazy like that

Songs like this convince me that HE'D never cave to the labels!

You Tube started to suck when they began deleting Angry Nintendo Nerd videos. Here's the deal: Record sales are shit. We are tired of pandering to the industry and it's lawyers. Yeah... I said it - FUCK YOU METALLICA.

So You Tube goes and sells for 500 Million or Billion. Whatever the f is was, the suits at all these companys stood up like lemmings and said.... De Gotx Bling yo. SUE dat a$$$$
