YouTube copyright issues
Okay, so anyone in the Youtube world lately have noticed how many videos have suddenly been muted or deleted from Youtube. This has even resulted in the account deletion of some of the most popular gamers on YouTube. Now I've actually suffered from this- my One 4-star was muted immediately after upload. Most other GH/RB forums have topics to discuss this and how to prevent deletion, so I'm starting one here.
So, I guess- Discuss away!

Re: YouTube copyright issues
Not necessarily in the right subforum, but Youtube has to cover their a** to prevent getting sued. Your only options are to try to fool their filters (avoiding certain tags, artist names or song names unless you obfuscate them) or to use another video host.

Re: YouTube copyright issues
It's the artist's right to have it taken down. If you went to the enormous amount of work to commercially release music, you'd want to protect your work as well.
Re: YouTube copyright issues
artist are not even involved in this; they are actually pissed as everyone else since WMG (Warner Music Group) has even muted some their own artist videos. I hear it was a battle between Google and WMG that ultimately turned into this mess on Youtube.
I had all my vids muted but just removed them all.

It's not a matter of protecting your work. Someone playing your song on GH/RB isn't hurting your profits, contrary to what the RIAA will tell you.
I remember a time when copyright infringement was all about claiming someone else's work as your own. Now it's about usage policy. Soon they're gonna try and charge for membership on Youtube, just watch.
Lazers. I'ma chargin them.

The songs technically require that the person own the cd with those songs (or an mp3) to use the songs in any video. Youtube is getting recognized just like anybody else (?). I suggest using MegaVideo as they do not have such harsh policies just as long as you do not claimed the copyrighted material as your own, which is virtually impossible.
Yeah... but MegaVideo SUCKS. It's operated by the people behind Megaupload, which means they are constantly goading you to purchase Premium access to MegaVideo and generally treat the freebies like sh*t with loads of limits, whereas YouTube is entirely free, but has strict limits. It is entirely fine for YouTube to take down copyrighted content if the actual owners of the content request it. The trick is to use different tags and titles so that a word does not trip the copyright limits.

putfile.com should be fine, though it's a bit of a pain to make an account

Re: YouTube copyright issues
I'll rephrase my previous statement:
A song's owner has the right to have it taken down and to specify where it will be used.
And even if you own a copy of the CD a song is on, you are not given the right to redistribute it ANYWHERE, including on video websites.

Re: YouTube copyright issues
Right. But strangely enough none of the actual videos that have the song and the album art have been paid attention to. If YouTube wants to start cracking down on usage policy, I'd say they have a lot bigger fish to fry than Guitar Hero or FoF runs.
And... how exactly does this topic fit into the Other Music Games thread?

ok if they really wanted to start doing all that then myspace google yahoo fretsonfire guitar hero rockband are all redistributed
music all over the plaice and not to mention there rights and laws of copyright need to be reworked because there so many ways of gettting songs p2p`s wave recording i mean how can you really stop them you would have to get rid of everything the whole internet would be useless so it makes no since and therefore puting copyrights on everything is pretty much a waste of money because if ti wasn't then rock band wouldn't have been made dou to guitar hero makeing the ideal first but all this is IMO really

Because it's more a GH/RB/RR problem than FOF.

A. Konami made the first guitar based rhythm game, and IS suing Rock Band and Guitar Hero
B. Harmonix made the first two Guitar Heroes
