Re: Youtube mix taken down, and now the patronising copyright school they make you ta
notice in the posts above the phrase "i don't see" crops up a couple of times.
That's exactly my point.. uploaders make a lot of assumptions about what they're doing because they 'don't see'.
again, it would take an uploader the same length of time or probably less to contact a label than it would for a label to contact the uploader - and the label owns the material, not the uploader.. so the uploader should contact the label. I'm not sure why this is a bone of contention.
The uploader argument seems to be:
"I'm going to upload this music even though I don't own any rights to it, even though I have no idea about any release plans or promo schedules, even though I have nothing at stake if it creates any problems but I'm going to be right pissed off if the label asks youtube to take it down because they could have contacted me first."
i'm not sure how anyone can argue that line with a straight face tbh.
Well said
I got so much shit for taking our labels stuff off YouTube so basicly im the bad guy cos I dare to use a tool that YouTube provides me with to remove my content
the way some people were going on at me it was like I had just fucked their mum in front of them - One channel owner took to Facebook to get all his followers to start spamming our channel and cause as much shit as possible, and this is someone who was apparently helping our label according to him lol
After shit like that I gave up giving a fuck about these shitty channels
Simple if you don't own the rights then don't upload it - If i find it then im using CVT to remove it and hopefully get your channel taken down in fact it pisses me off so much I ENJOY it when channels get taken down cos of it
End of the day I don't want my labels shit on there at all I see YouTube as Napster V2 - a way for people to get our music for nothing end of story
I HAVE to now put my labels tracks on there (all though we only do small clips) due to this as if we didnt actively police it then it would once again turn into a free for all
Still every week I have to sit there fucking around wasting time looking for my labels music when I got better things to do with my time
BUT OH NO WHATS THAT!
Im supposed to politely waste even more time asking each individual prick who has uploaded my labels music if they possibly wouldn't mind removing it
How about fuck no
I should mention I have no issue with DJ mixes but start putting up single tracks or mix rips then fuck off
also worth mentioning is that rips from radio shows just mean that less people listen to the actual shows live or on playback so the listening figures drop and shows get cancelled so in the long run less music for everyone
And yes as you can tell this subject annoys the shit out of me lol
