CLICK MORE FOR LINKS!!!! Volley #4, with some new information for you folks about the WMG situation, and what I believe we should be doing in all this. The thing that's humorous to me in all this is that I'm being contacted by a lot of places asking for interviews or information like I'm the "leader of the revolution" here. Ya wear a camo jacket and suddenly you're leading revolutions? good thing I'm not wearing the beret...But this is a little bit of a rant, and a little bit of a "we need to make a social revolution". I may make a second video with the stuff I left out of this one because I left out a good 5-6 minutes of "who to talk to" and "what to do", but something tells me you all pretty much know that part already. Keep the fax machines humming at WMG and Google/YouTube. Social engineering isn't fast, but the results are so much better than brute force.The other thing I'm finding interesting is that YouTube has stopped e-mailing me about audio takedowns, and they're just muting things without the courtesy of letting me know about it. So if one of my educational vids is muted, please let me know here? Thank you much!Some links of interestWMG "Hotline" for people to call and complain about their practices:212-275-2600 But don't hold your breath.US Copyright law for music distribution : http://www.copyright.gov/title... v.

@technoway Would it not be more worse for you, if someone takes your song and [b] makes money out of of it [/b]?? Its pretty stupid to sue people who uses your song non-profitable. Its even better if we, the vid-creators makes sure whatever song we are about to use, to make it NON-Identical. Because thats 'the leak' in the Copyright law [b] if you prefer to take everything by the exact letter [/b]. Think this over slowly, before you backfire at me, about this non-identical matter.

If WMG is so worried about making a few extra bucks, why not sell songs for internet use? I would be happy if I could buy a song and use it on youtube, even if I have to pay, say, 3$ for it? This is ridiculous.

The only REAL working way to boycott these sissy companies is put more and more content over Torrent, as Torrents cannot get blocked. Anyway, probably the only artist that has managed to destroy all the boundaries of music industry is Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails. He was the first one that took the plunge and boycott his record company by releasing multitrack sources of his album "Year Zero" over the internet. And he also once stated to "steal his work, if you can't afford it".

Black and White law is stupid; the RADIO bought the songs and they share it with us; it's stupid.

Youtube was originally meant for fun. This copyright crap is getting out of hand.It's actually been getting worse lately, which leads me to think that YT is reaching its boiling point. We're not going to stop using the songs we want to use, and they can't get rid of us, there's too many. Eventually they'll have to cave.

Did those words on your vest say "Master Chief"? Looked like it.

I brought the fucking album i own that set of music! now why couldnt i use it in my videos? nazis on patrol as usual.

Also I can't stand how Sony is making money off my videos. One of them even got a chance to make money for me, but I was rejected. What I find a month later? An ad for very low quality music I recorded from my camera 2 years ago. That and about 10 other videos out of 63. People arn't watching my videos becuase of the copyrighted music, but for the story. The comments on some of my videos say, great story, not music.
