Evanescence, Seether and Creed videos no longer available

I am also very disappointed. The music industry really needs to keep their noses out of our business. We are not doing anything illegal by my knowledge. We do not profit from these videos. If you look at it, it's free publicity for the artist and the animes. They need to get their heads out of their asses.

Were all just concern right now and are trying to think of ways to negotiate.

Again, as Phade said, I think the only way to keep them on would be through licensing - which is indeed a nightmare in its' own right. The altruist in all of us might resist, but it's easy to see how it's simply impossible for the community as it is to either be able to afford or manage a license like that.

I think perhaps we don't know if they'd be pissed off at the shear audacitity of requesting negotioations and take legal action because of it. Crazier things have happened.

Hey,

genestarwind21122: I think we should leave it as is for the time being. If the opportunity arises, we can talk with them more directly later on. For now, I must sleep (or pretend to, at least).

Touya_girl: It's not about if what we do is cool or not or is good publicity. It's all about license. If they don't enforce their copyright, they don't get to keep it. It is unfortunate, but that's how it is.

Phade.

Yeah, I saw that video years ago... makes no sense comparing to this. If the actual artists don't mind (as that comment shows) then it shouldn't matter.

but unfortunately its not up to the artist but the actual label... o.0

So do we have a count on the number of downed videos? I count around 1900 if the most used artist list is correct.

Actually, we're breaking most of the rules in the book. Or, well, at least the U.S. book.
