    Default Youtube - Frustration with WMG Police

    Hey folks I closed my youtube account. I had some great vids of my son put to music, many of you have seen them. The Warner Music Group warning was placed on my account and youtube shut the audio off. I own the CD and produced my own vid, yet youtube states I have violated copy right law.

    I am not sure I understand this. Any Hoo, does anyone no a great hosting site that will not edit my vid because I use, Stepenwolf's Born to Be Wild in my vid? I find it interesting that my AC/DC vid was not muted when I played drums to it.

    Appreciate the assist.

    Yeah I've had that problem. I tried uploading a video on Youtube, it had Beneath Teh Mire by Opeth in it. It got removed, due to stupid copyright rules. Yeah I own the Ghost Reveries album too.

    I don't know how I will be able to get past it.

    Warner Music Group are just being idiots.

    I hate to say it, but it's just like taping a major league baseball game. If it's for your own use, then they have no problems, but it is not to be shown publically, or to be rebroadcast. Other than for personal listening pleasure, you would technically have to get Warner Bros. permission.

    Funny that one record company is going after people and others aren't. I hope this isn't a trend, because it's nice to be able to watch people covering songs on You Tube.

    This reminds me, about 2 yrs ago I was learning to play guitar and I was a member of an online guitar school/forum. While teaching chords and scales the teacher would use specific songs as examples and ways to practice those chords and scales while making it fun and it was great.

    all of a sudden one day I log onto the lessons and things have changed, it went from "solo Guns N Roses - Sweet Child O mine" to "solo lick played in the style of Slash from Guns N Roses"

    apparently they were getting threats for copywrite issues and had to change the way things were done, no more using specific songs everything taught is now "In the style of"
    Sometimes the copywrite thing is taken way, way too far.

    Same thing happened to me on 7 of my vids, and now my brand new current 2 I just posted. I am also going to close my account, WMG has ruined it for everyone, just type in WMG in there search and you will see the 1000's of very unhappy people.

    We are doing absolutely nothing to hurt there sales, if anything we are helping promote there artists, I know for a fact that thru my videos I have introduced several people to music they would have never heard otherwise, with the end result of them going and buying there music.

    WMG is out of line and just being corporate bullies, and not realize how badly they are hurting themselves.

    Because copyright wasn't enforced in the beginning doesn't mean that the owners of the copyright don't at any time have the right to enforce their copyright. Equally; because the others aren't enforcing theirs doesn't mean that Warner does not have the right. Whether we like it or not; copyright is in place to protect intellectual property. It is not up to us to judge when and where it can be enforced.

    I agree Drummer and the laws have a changed a great deal as well. It used to be one could if they owned the album, tape, CD etc that the song could be used for private use i.e. embedding in a private video. What makes the situation a challenge is that the internet was not as prevalent then and mp3 did not exists. In one hand I understand WMG and other's position in the other it is frustrating too.

    I tried to say the same to CD as well, not sure he realized what he typed.

    Sorry guys, My wife is in the hospital so my ire is up to begin with and I stooped a bit low there.

    Still though, I understand the pupose of copyright, but nobody is stealing anything. We are simply making instrument cover videos or setting background music to home videos of the kids riding their bike for ther first time, etc.

    We are not like Napster was in the late 90's. Like dwdrumr said, he turned many of us on to bands that we had never heard of and we all went out and bought a new album. I honestly have been introduced to at least 3 groups from Kev's videos that I'd now like to buy their music.

    If anything, we are HELPING WMG boost sales in a bad economy by sharing these songs with each other in a non pirating format.

    Whatever. WMG doesn't care. No sense arguing with them about it.

    I love dc AND my friends here. Again my apologies to you all if I have been nasty lately.

    no sweat CD. I work for UMG and they all are hurting since the demise of records and cds. We are all scrambling to make money, and the good ones are coming up with creative ways of doing that. The bad ones are trying to hold on to the old methods and are losing We bought Sanctuary, basically a band management company and Bravado which makes t shirts. Now the money is in publishing, managing and merchandising.
