Author Topic: Youtube Copyright Issue (Read 1955 times)

Ok, so I just uploaded a video to Youtube. I made sure that it was ok, because I watched 700 other videos with the same exact music.
Guess what? I just got ass raped by a loving copyright issue from the damn WMG, or UMG, or whatever their damn initials are. And it wasn't like I had it uploaded for people to watch yet. No, it was an instant middle finger "forget you, you don't get any music".

Seriously, what is the huge loving problem here? We've been using this music before. So what, we're going to get copyright issues if we have it on our loving iPod or something? Is it like I'm even making money of the video? Hell no! Plus, we're basically HELPING the damn music company. Someone listens to it and says, "hey, I like this. I think I should buy it". And even if they don't, who the forget cares anyways? People usually just go online to get their music, or extract the audio from a video.

This copyright stuff needs to stop.

I've taken down two of my videos trying to put in a different song, but so far, it's been a failure, i tried re-uploading my video with a different song and got that copyright thing, i know one video i took down is Blockland Base Bombardment, i can't have it on Youtube with any other song on it except The Gap Band's You Dropped the Bomb on Me, that song fit the video more than any other song in the Music folder...

I actually forget if i took down two videos or if it was just that one :(

Edit: On my channel, i was told this would help

I posted a lyrics video that became an instant favorite by tons of people.
It was better than a crappy one that still lingers on, and WMG deletes it.
So apperently you need to put the � information in the information box...

Youtube seems to have gone national socialist. Every time I want to listen to a song, lets say, Don't fear the Reaper, most the videos have the music removed.

sig heil, heil wmg.

You just need to grab the right copyright info, but still it's total stuff.

How about we boycott and switch to Vimeo or something.

n0cturni · April 03, 2009, 09:15:11 PM

Did I break the thread?

General Omega · April 03, 2009, 09:22:23 PM

Vimeo does give good download time and video quality.

n0cturni · April 03, 2009, 09:29:39 PM

I've even seen people on Youtube link to Vimeo.

I think what I'll do is upload normally to Youtube and Vimeo, and if my audio gets removed, the Vimeo link will be there.

By Law they remove it by the request of the copyright owners, no point crying over it.
