The Killers' youtube channel just replied to my message saying that I'm allowed to use any of there songs once I write "Copyright The Killers" in the description. And I asked if I could use Human.

Pretty cool that they have people to actually reply and not ignore your messages.

Now you see that is how it should be done. Full kudos to those guys, I really respect them for that. I wish everyone else was the same. As long as we aren't partners with YouTube and we aren't making any money at all and we give full credit to the copyright owners, then surely this is good advertising for their material and it may well gain them new fans and revenue.
We are doing no harm using a few music samples here and there, we make no money from it. It all seems very petty.

In the UK the PRS (Performing Rights Society) are going after everyone they can find, really aggressively, Hair Dressing Salons are being hit, because they have a radio on in the background - so they are 'doing a public performance' and need to get a license. Mechanics in garages listening the radio of the car they are working on, are being hit with legal threats for the same reasons as well.

The Music industry has gone to war and all it is doing it alienating the fans of the their music acts and their products. Very counter productive.

Some of you guys need to chill the eff out.

Brain Wave, it's not as though Rsteenoven has a monopoly on parkour brickfilms.

Matt, I hardly think Spugesdu intended to make a film ripping off both The Gauntlet and Capastroid, assuming even that he has even seen/heard of them. Don't assume every brickfilmer knows the existence of every single brickfilm out there.

I hadn't even heard of The Gauntlet up until a month or two ago.

Music belongs to everyone. It's only the record industry who think that people own it - John Lennon.

Re: YouTube

Hey guys,

IMO Rsteenoven's and spugesdu film looked quite similar(Both jumped and fell at the end, and they both have similar moves). Maybe I was going over the top with saying a blatant copy, though. I don't have anything against spugesdu mini/smile.

Hope I've cleared that up a bit.

I'm not surprised considering I only have 202 subscribers and 178,000 views.

I would try to sign up as a partner, but I'm apparently not old enough. I guess I'll have to wait two months, and then try. I also need to upload more copyright-free videos. I just had one of my music videos taken down, due to copyright issues.

I just hope 747 subscribers and 31,858 channel views is enough...

Or, you know, you could get a parent to help, like I know Zach (MindGame) did.  Forrestfire probably did the same thing.

What's with the conspiracy theories about Forrestfire being favored by YouTube??

It says on the thing you have to fill out that if you're under 18 you get your parents to do it.

That's plenty I'd say. But they might not because of some of your copyrighted things (like the Johnny Cash music videos) but then again what do I know. I believe Smeagol said he was turned down because of copyrighted material (Star Wars stuff).

Re: YouTube

Hmm, I'm sorta stuck with something and I thought I could maybe get your guys' sentiment.

I'm working on the sound design for a film that's near completion, but there's one sound bit that I'm having a hell of a time trying to emulate. I'm considering just pulling one of the sound effects from the source material that I'm parodying, but I want to try and keep it copyright free for YouTube and such. However, since my film after all is a parody (and the sound effect would be used in a direct parody of one aspect of the material), would this fall under acceptable fair use?

Re: YouTube

Depends how recognisable the sound is, whether the owner of the sound wants to make a fuss about it, whether youtube decide it's better to be safe than sorry, etc. PM me with details if you want, and I'll see if I can think of a way to emulate it.
