It's a bit annoying that youtube has an auto check in regards to certain music. I don't really see how a large global company like Warner Brothers loses out when I use some of the music it "owns" in a video.

The sad thing is I bet ACDC wouldn't have a problem with what I have done but Warner Brothers being the global corporation it is just wants to stamp it's feet when it comes to things like this.

Yeah that sucks, its not like your making money off the videos. I hate these big corporations they run the world now.

I hope another video site becomes #1, would be good for google to have a big fail.

don't bet on that anytime soon, especially with youtube supporting HD content now it takes the edge away from services like Vimeo.

If youtube continually introduces more and more DRM though it will lose out as people won't be able to upload things they want. So many of the popular videos on youtube have copyrighted music in them and you would think eventually they would be targeted, therefore removing a lot of views/revenue from YouTube.

Over time I think people are becoming less tolerant to DRM.

I've almost officially quit youtube since they suspended my account there about 2 weeks ago. I like some videos there though, James's and Buck's channels are cool

And that's a shame, man, your videos are so cool, especially this one

Why did they suspend your account? Too many copyright violations?

The funny thing about this is that Weird Al yankovitch had is own songs taken down due to copyright!

Didn't know that but sounds typical. There were stories about bands having their music taken down due to their publishers when they personally were fine with it.

There needs to a new way for anyone involved in digital creation to make money rather than needing to sell digital works. As soon as something is digital the value of that item is pretty much near worthless, it costs almost nothing to store it and nothing to transfer it. The only cost comes in creating the work, so they should be paid upfront what is appropriate for creating it, how this happens is anyone's guess.

Unfortunately rather than move to a model which is logical, moral and reasonable the companies affected would rather lobby their way to law changes making us all digital terrorists worthy of having our doors kicked in by the FBI for listening to Britney Spears.
