Lucky Posted February 21, 2009 Report Share Posted February 21, 2009 ^^ Nice. So, a while ago I remembered a song I always loved, searched, and found it wasn't on Youtube. I procrastinated, and didn't get it made until last night. In the time I wasted, someone else did it, and now they have 365 views, and a couple of nice comments. They should be mine. here it is anyway Hold On It's Coming ~ Country Joe Mcdonald Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farin Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 a real (ie offical) video from me for a change Graue Wolken ~ Blumfeld I was quite surprised that it wasn't on youtube anymore, but since there were several others by this band I decided to upload it myself again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Epiphany Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 I only understood a little bit, but Graue Wolken song is very mellow and relaxing. I think I might put English lyrics to it, and get famous... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farin Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 it's quite mellow, that's true Graue Wolken means "Grey Clouds" lyrics are as follows: Where are all the grey clouds coming from? I'm looking outside, towards the day it's raining, and I can't take it anymore Where is the blue sky gone? I don't know why I'm living, only that I'm alive Then I'm getting up to walk among (the) people and ask myself, what can I do? I want to hate them and yet can't stop To recognise a part of myself, in everything they represent Where are all the grey clouds coming from? The whole world is turning in circles I'm looking around, and I don't want anymore Where is the red sun gone? Work, television, going to bed this way life doesn't make any sense Then I'm getting up to walk among (the) people and ask myself, what should I do? I can't believe it They can't stop Only their own lives, just to see themselves all the time Where are all the grey clouds coming from? I'm looking outside, towards the day it's raining, and I can't take it anymore I don't know where from, don't know where to I don't know why I'm living Only that I'm alive...

Levis Posted March 1, 2009 Report Share Posted March 1, 2009 WMG got rid of my Five Thirty video... who even KNOWS Five Thirty? Do you really think they even CARE? They're unheard of, they'd probably LIKE having their one famous song on Youtube. But nooooo... I didn't even get an email telling my video had been yanked. I only just found out. The poor band is barely known! They don't even have a wiki entry, at least give them this tiny slice of recognition! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Seeker Posted March 1, 2009 Report Share Posted March 1, 2009 Whether or not a band's songs are allowed on youtube should be the band's decision, not the label's. WMG are being utterly ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Levis Posted March 1, 2009 Report Share Posted March 1, 2009 They had to lock the wiki entry for WMG (because, you know, they have one) cos it was being defamed. And rightly so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farin Posted March 1, 2009 Report Share Posted March 1, 2009 made me think of the "public service announcement" by the recording industry I posted in Funny Images a few days ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluesboy Posted March 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 This was at my inbox today at youtube copy and paste "Copyright infrinment Sir: You have posted illegally parts of of DVD Legends of the American Folk Blues Festivals (1967, 1968, 1969) in YouTube.

Has anyone else seen something like this ? This looks like a scam doesn't it ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Levis Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 I'm not sure... the little bit of googling I did shows that the label is legit and they do own Legends of American Folk Music, since they have it for sale on their site: http://www.tropical-music.com/index2.html They're not a major label or anything - at least that's what it looks like to me. I don't really know what they're on about, but there's a link to the album in question on their page with the tracklist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 (edited) Write them back and ask who won the war ! Tell them you are a decorated WWII veteran and that you'll be damned if any foreigner is gonna tell you what American folk music you can or can't put out there if you wish . May not do anything , but perhaps you'll get a kick out of their reaction ... (Now , don't get mad at me , Farin. This is just a joke . ) Edited March 6, 2009 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Seeker Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 That's a scam. Scammers sometimes use names that really do exist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 Well ,honestly - it's a sad day when ANYONE responds to threats over the internet - it doesn't have any authority anyway . FU*k it ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farin Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 if you want to, I could send the (real) label a mail, asking them if they would generally do that and/or that somebody could be using their name... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 (edited) Exactly ,Farin - but who responds to peanut -sized threats from overseas on the internet?! Edited March 6, 2009 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farin Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 bluesboy doesn't respond if I'm writing the mail if they say, "yes we do things like that", then well, good luck proving who was that and getting money from them but if they say "no, that was some scammer", then he'll know for sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 (edited) if you want to, I could send the (real) label a mail, asking them if they would generally do that and/or that somebody could be using their name... A short note -in German- with subtle counter threats ?! That would likely screw them up big time ! I like it . I ,myself , am a fan of the bombastic approach - but that is way stale usually.

Kevin Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 However ,Blues , This is likely a punk company in Germany that will do absolutely nothing to you ( they only are after 1000 euros , afterall ) ... so screw them . As Seeker said ,I think it is likely a scam anyway - and that's a fair defense . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluesboy Posted March 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 Thanks everybody for the input! Lately, I've had quite a few youtubes disabled by copyright protection, but this was a new approach. This weekend I'll have to go visit their site and see what they're talking about.
