No More RIAA Lawsuits Against Online Music Sharing & Warner Music Won't Renew Contract

[Supermassively]

This is terrible news.

[freakylocz14]

The RIAA is the enemy of music.

[Supermassively]

@freakylocz14 No, criminal assholes like you who steal someone else's hard work are the enemy of music. Shithead.

[freakylocz14]

@Supermassively Learn law, please. Even the court do not define illegal downloading as theft. It isn't even a crime. It's a civil issue over copyright infringement.

[Supermassively]

@freakylocz14 You're only trying to protect your fragile conscience from the admission that you really are a criminal piece of shit.

[freakylocz14]

@Supermassively In order to be a criminal, one has to commit a crime. There is no crime committed here.

[Supermassively]

@freakylocz14 Yeah, most criminals don't believe they did anything wrong.

[freakylocz14]

@Supermassively You've yet to identify the crime.

[Supermassively]

@freakylocz14 Fairly sure I stated it quite clearly several times. Or are you functionally illiterate?

[freakylocz14]

@Supermassively You didn't state a crime that fits the act you are protesting.

[Supermassively]

@freakylocz14 Looks like I was right. You are illiterate. Life must be hard.

I BET HE RAPES KIDS........

[urashimakeitaro22]

yeah, all of this happens because of you not supporting them. you'll all see crappy music and movies in the future or less produced.

[LchanOtakudom]

Yay, and boo, all at once. Very informative vid, thanks for posting!

[Tinyal818]

YESSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!

[jtboll00]

i bet this guy has dead bodies buried in his backyard

[garycuk]

I'm about to post a vlog on this....I'm peeved! x

[NorCalCorsello]

Which part? Warner Music not renewing the YouTube contract?

[garycuk]

Yup - one of my videos has vanished...a cover of a Frank Sinatra song...suspiciously it had just started getting thousands of hits and then it went...hmm x

[NorCalCorsello]

I now know why they don't encourage and promote derivative works. I didn't realize the contracts with the record companies were so short. Chris Crocker got his, thanks to the Viacom lawsuit. The day after Britney blew it on MTV, YouTube knew the world would be searching for the clip... and had to make sure they didn't infringe on Viacom... enter Chris Crocker. The jester, the fool, something people could get a chuckle from... with no infringing content. Work the system, man. (Vlog preview)

[kirby4d]

Actually it's more like a restaurant suing a guy who gives his food to other people.

[NorCalCorsello]

Yea, after I made the video I was thinking I should have said, "It is like a restaurant owner suing their customer for giving away the leftovers... or a car company suing a driver for loaning their car to a friend." Oh well. I always think of the good stuff after I post the video. Someday I'll get it figured out. Thanks for the comment.

[kirby4d]

Always. I enjoy your videos. It's the only vlog I currently watch. The other one I watched was more of a news show and had its finale this past Monday or the Monday before that.

[NorCalCorsello]

Thank you! I appreciate the compliment. I am actually planning to cut back my postings to about 3 times a week in 2009. I would like to "up" the quality a bit. I want to pick topics that I have more relevant things to speak about, research a bit more ahead of time, edit a bit more, and do some writing before I film. We'll see how it goes. Thanks for the support!

[kirby4d]

Yeah, you're sort of inspiring me to try and start one. I'm lazy though and don't have a camera. I lost my webcam also. I could do a radio show...

[Supermassively]

@NorCalCorsello You don't have much of a grasp on logic, do you? That's a completely irrational analogy that has absolutely no relation to this situation whatsoever.

[Supermassively]

@kirby4d Actually, it's more like a restaurant suing a criminal asshole who goes in the kitchen and steals the food and hands it out to people who also didn't pay for it.

[taichikitsune]

Thanks for the info, was wondering what was going on :P

[DunZero]

But every downside has its benefits and vice versa. We'll see how things evolve and what the business head will consider to be desirable and worthy.

[czarwright]

the good and the bad.

Thanks for the info you still Rock=)

Happy Holidays Bro

[OhCurt]

Well it took 'em long enough, YEESH!!!

LOL @ your comparisons. Nice!

As for the other bit of news - I'm glad now that I deleted a vlog with a Madonna tune at the end.

Oy.
