Ant Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 (edited) This guy has some amazing drumming videos... Motley, QOTSA, Blink, Foo. The only video of his without a backing track due to copyright: GNR.... rock n' roll. That's how you court the next generation of fans! (still rocks, though, so f you).

To answer your other question, yes, we've been in contact several times with members of GNR management. The situation has been explained clearly and repeatedly to them. They've made it clear that they just don't care enough to help the fans out. Hardly Guns N Roses fault that Youtube/Google accept takedowns from any old cunt with an email address. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct, but we know for a fact that this isn't just anyone doing it. That's also been made clear to GN'R and their management. This has been discussed to death over and over though. Not something I've put any thought or energy into since I left the leadership staff for this site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always considered preposterous that belief like "it's all done by algorithms, and there's absolutely nothing anyone could do about it". That's bullshit. It started some way, and it can be at least regulated again. And I don't doubt that Guns/TB have enough resources and contacts to get in touch with relevant CEOs who actually could step in. The problem is - why would they bother. TB don't seem to think it's harming the band, and Axl's never been big on bootlegs anyway, so... I wouldn't expect much in this case.

I'm not contesting that or the fact it's run by robots. I'm saying something could be done about it had someone wanted. It doesn't happen - in this extent - with other bands. See all those various montages with only Guns missing. It's just pathetic. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackstar Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 (edited) He's talking about the video in this thread: http://www.mygnrforum.com/topic/223651-top-20-debut-albums-youtube-video/ It's not GnR who blocked it, though, but King Crimson (The top debut albums video still plays for me - maybe the blocking is country specific? - EDIT: He says he re-uploaded it without the King Crimson snippet) Anyway, it's worth watching for an insight on the overall copyright strikes issue.

Blackstar Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 (edited) The recent Senate sub-committee hearing where Don Henley spoke: Hearing the "60 people" part again, Henley says that it's UMG who employs these 60 people to take down videos on behalf of the Eagles. I think it's safe to assume that this UMG copyright team is not focused exclusively on Eagles and Henley videos, but is also responsible for taking down videos for other UMG artists as well.

But most of you guys have gotten your video taken down, how this system even work. Because the people that take down videos don't go to YouTube and search for videos to report. They just report the ones that are shared here or on Facebook groups (or even Twitter accounts). So if you search for a particular video and you don't share it somewhere, it will probably stay uploaded. This also applies to all platforms that support videos and also file sharing websites. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether or not you want to believe it, it is a fact that TB not only knew about it, but knew who was doing it and was well aware of the fact that the people claimed to be working on behalf of TB. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They hate this forum, yet try endlessly to join Sadly they target us and it means we can't allow YT videos here, unless they are official ie; GNR or Vevo 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
