Copyright Your Cunt YouTube
Here’s the email I recieved for my silly 5 minute video that I produced and only my friends have watched.
And here’s why the DMCA and everyone that supports it should die.
YouTube Copyright DMCA
And that’s how YouTube Killed the Video Star.
Now I know it’s not YouTube’s fault per say but they shouldn’t be such pussies about the whole DMCA thing. You’re owned by Google for Christ sake - they fucking stood up to the US government when they asked for search data and you can’t stand up for stupid homemade videos?
And I know I am not the only one getting raped by stupid DMCA laws… so I don’t want to sound like “woah is me, they are attacking me.” But seriously…
I mean, what is the motivation here? Do they think that I was selling anything through my video (i.e. making money by using their song)? I wasn’t. Do they think that I am now going to pay them for the rights to the song for my stupid video? I won’t. Is K7 really loosing money on my video? Shit… when was the last time these bastards were heard of by the general public? I am doing them a fucking favor…
So… what? What could be the motivation? To piss me off and ruin my fun? Well, fuck you. And fucking fuck everyone who supports these stupid fucking laws. And fuck YouTube for standing by these stupid fucking DMCA laws instead of the consumers that helped make them a huge hit (and get them their billions of dollars from Google).
And where does this end? Apparently if I sing lines from a well-known piece of music then that will get my video taken down. I also assume if I should home video and the radio is on in the background then I will have to somehow remove that. If I get into a conversation on video about a certain piece of music and say the name of the song, artist and album, will that get taken down? What about if I am streaming video and accidentally have a movie on in the background - is someone going to break into my house and turn off the movie?
I get why Digital Media Right laws exist - really I do. I understand the concept of stealing and piracy. I also am familiar with the idea of being retarded and taking the initial meaning of law and stretching is so thin that it barely resembles what it’s original purpose.
I really wish there was more outrage about this kind of stuff. Everything we (web developers, IT, SEM’s, etc) have been working for 10+ years building on the web (a new and better way) is going to be crushed and it will be business as usual. Next stop, net nuetrality.
…oh and as a side note YouTube, maybe you should look into getting a search marketer for your blog b/c your shit sucks.
