blip.tv did the same to one of my vids, funny, they let the others with less popular tunes alone. Its pretty boring watching a 10min vid that, despite kick ass roads, is dead silent.

My understanding is that the music companies have been demanding royalties for public performance of their copyrighted music, and are basically forcing YouTube to take this course of action. The alternatives are remove the entire video, or mute the "offending" audio track, and it seems YouTube have chosen the latter method.

Just as there are other sites to host the videos on, there are also websites that offer copyright free music, although the choice is limited and much of it is crap.

Years ago, my ex-girlfriend had a Hair & Beauty Salon, and regularly played the radio as background music for her clients. Nothing fancy, just a little $20 radio sitting on a countertop, but the music police (Performing Rights Society in the UK). came in and threatened to close her down if she did not buy a license to play the radio publicly. They insinuated she was stealing the music!!! The radio was immediately removed, and it became a silent salon for a little while, which was not at all pleasant during bikini waxing season. (Thankfully Brazilian waxing wasn't in vogue at that time!).

My personal thoughts are that these soundtracks are promoting their music, therefore the music companies should be paying the video maker. If I see a video with a catchy tune, I am inclined to find out more about the music, browse over to iTunes, and buy the song, and potentially the whole album.

We are supposedly in a new millenium, yet we are being forced to experience the silent movie era prior to the 1920's all over again. :angry:

Yet another reason I am glad I am as old as I am, and won't be around a lot longer to see what else this whole newly enlightened society will have to offer. :glare:

Must be the times. I have heard that Sony threw some fits about people selling Sony stuff on ebay and simply copying/pasting the 'specs' from the sony.com website.

I am no lawyer and I didnt stay at a Holiday Inn last night but it seems to me that as long as you have no Sony trademarks or brand images in your add, it is simply text you are copying over. Who is to say you didnt simply type it in Word and then put it in your ad.

Look at Myspace or https://music.podshow.com/ for rights free music just add a end screen giving the artist props. A lot of it is talent trying to get a break. Screw youtube and the RIAA.

I've had about 10% of my vids taken down because of the music backing them. A friend of mine just lost her account (and over 400 vids) over the same issue.

The sad thing is Jdog always gives proper props to the music makers. Screw them Jdog..

Speaking to my son the other day about viruses and issues with the computer as we just had to do a complete re-install and he said he had heard of music companies on myspace offering up supposed free downloads of music and when downloaded you would also get a virus for free of course, so as not to acquire the music without paying and cause one discouragement. Don't know the truth in this but that would be low if so. Wouldn't surprise me....PM. <>< :blink:

It's all about the almighty dollar, Jdog. That, and control of their product and how it is used (the music).

Like HappyPuppy mentioned above, go with royality-free music and your problem is solved.

blame the RIAA. join and support the EFF!

at work we've begun blocking youtube, netflix, XM and Sirius as well as nearly every other streaming media source. seems some people don't understand "limited personal use" so a significant amount of bandwidth was going to "no work-related activities".

Your title might better read, "Capitalism going to ****!"

It seems Capitalism is vying for the Communist position.
