This is why I hate the American Music Industry...I doubt they'll get away with much in this case though.

You would think they would realize that when people make videos with their music it is a compliment and it's publicity. But no! They view as infringement...greedy freaks.

It is what it is.

People legitimately make a living off selling and making music.

While having fans like us use their music might be considered free publicity, it doesn't stop others from capitalizing on infringing copyrights.

Those unscrupulous people who already have a different job, and then bootleg on the side. They can ruin business for people legitimately doing their job.

I'm not going to get angry at people who are just trying to make a living.

Bad knowname! Go to your room, and no dessert for you!

As long as the UMG don't come crap on our backyard like that label for Evanescence did, I'm fine. You Tube are already shoveling shit from their lawn anyways...

I looked at UMG's website, and they have BB King, D12, Keane, Primus and Snow Patrol doubled on their "artists" list. Also, "É o Tchan" is mispelled. If they can't even count, they can hardly hire a competent lawyer.

However, there's a band called "Llama" on the listing, so they get extra points.

We believe these new businesses are copyright infringers and owe us tens of millions of dollars

though i guess i cant blame them cause those companies are "making money" off of it...
