Yeah, it was thirty seconds.

Barely, tho...maybe I should make it a little longer.

This is me: www.vimeo.com/hobbitrockgod

This article was just posted in the LiveJournal Vidding community (if you use LiveJournal, I highly recommend you watch/join this comm, it has lots of interesting info and they try to keep an eye on the legal issues as well as the technical or artistic ones).

In part, the article says:

Ugh, how annoying, Ais. Not that I like imeem anyway, my videos come out WAY off beat. But youtube is no better if I can't keep my videos up! I've had a bunch of my vids taken down. I even got a long PM from "the copyright police"!

I was a little scared. LOL They told me that I had to take my vid with a Bryan Adams song down. It was slightly intimidating. xD

So... I guess we're stuck to watching it streaming on zshare?

*comes back*

I hate posting things that only point out problems and offer no solution but right now vidders are a bit stuck.

If you're on YouTube's radar and they won't let you upload a vid, then you don't have much choice but to try other places like iMeem or Vimeo until they catch you. If you're squeaking by on YouTube right now, then I'd think just hang tight. Of course, if you get a cease and desist email, then comply with it and take your vid down.

I'm still hoping that one of the measures about Fair Use will eventually get us a bit of protection. As long as we're not making money off our vidding, why can't the entertainment and music industries use us as free promotion for their products?

This is absolute bull

It's like we have no freedom. Why CAN'T we make fanvids? I mean it's like you said, Ais, we make NO money off it! We might as well the way they're acting! I guess zshare it is if all these video communities are fighting us off T_T

gah, another one of mine just got disabled :S:S one of my very old ones, back in WMM days!!

my Sun 'bitch' vid, im pretty sure its a Warner Bros song and my old vids dont have an intro but still - GRRR!!! :S:S

i have a massive hate for zshare ever since it crapped out on me just as I got my site working, so now i boycott it and refuse to use it. it would just be the sickest thing if im forced to use it, lol

bloody youtube!!! it must be a red tape thing; im sure youtube would be more than happy to let us host our vids, but its the shows/bands we use that kick up a stink :S

Everybody just hates us!! Well, I think I'm gonna keep posting on YT, nothing of mine's been removed yet... Then I also have a backup on imeem and vimeo.

Thanks for this information. So there's no way of getting the video back on YT with the same comments and stuff? lol.

That sucks, I just came on today to find one of my videos removed, and it was my only video with over 15,000 views and over 20 comments LOL. Sucks really

Ugh, about a month or two ago, I got an email about my first ever LOST video, Can't Take it In by Imogen Heap. Today, I just saw this one. The two emails are exactly the same, except for the titles.

Aislynn · Posted: Thu Jan 08, 2009 8:10 pm Post subject:

I've lost my first vid now as well, "Ethan's Wonderful World."

That's exactly what my email said as well, Erin. The claimed content was the song.

If you don't have your Sins of Sawyer vid still, I'd suggest ripping it from YouTube while you still have the chance because Linkin Park is definitely on the Do Not Allow list, so they'll get it eventually.

I think another user can flag you and bring you to their attention but its the audio or video copyright holders who are responsible for telling YouTube to remove it.

Luckily, Sins of Sawyer I have on my computer, along with Diary of Jate. Just a Dream, the Season 2 recap and older ones like that are on my old computer, which is at my Mom's house in Missouri. However, the newer ones are on this computer, so even if YT decides to take them down, oh well. I'll either reupload them there or put them somewhere else.

I agree with another poster. They can have no problem showing shows on there, but the minute someone makes a fan video for NO money whatsoever, no commercial gain, someone makes a big stink out of it. It's monetary hypocrisy and I can't stand it. I'll also fight it. I don't get paid for the time I spend making videos (not like I make alot these days or ever did anyway), so as long as I do them for free, they can go ahead and get ticked. I would worry moreso if I were to charge for the videos I make. Then they have a right to get bent out of shape.

I'm not costing them money, they can kiss my butt in all honesty.
