09.01.08: Copyright Infringement

[Strawbearie2000]

Haha! Your'e hilarious! :)

[319gaga]

Uuhhhh!!! I wanna hear ur beautiful original voice micheal!!!

[HavociannWarrior]

Love you too Michael. *hugs*

[darthdipshit]

if i got hold of that material before you released it, you would have wasted money A) travelling to the UK B) Alex, Charlie, Edd and Liam would have wasted money going to france C) getting another set of ears to mix it, because ive got your material for free. I'm not paying for it, and you're losing money that could be coming in. The point of copyright is to protect the artists music. Music that i've put my heart and soul in to shouldnt be disregarded because someone wants music on the cheapside

[darthdipshit]

i disagree with all of your views on copyright infringement. copyright infringement is as you said, taking music that isnt yours, copying music or using music that isnt yours. that means that other people are using your music for free, and its lost its importance. take for example the new chameleon circuit album. if i was to get hold of any of that material before you guys released it (i would have had perfect opportunity: "Michael, how was france")

[edward2II]

Oh i fucken hate Copyright Infringment!!!...

[kotori113]

I think that it's funny that copying another person's ideas is frowned upon nowadays, yet we are all supposed to respect Shakespeare. :/

[mtndewman052]

This couldn't be anymore clear lol.

[mbe102]

DUDE, you don't have to raise the pitch of your voice bro, man, you sound fine enough man.

[DemonDZ]

The movie is sped up to fill in more content

[1JdA1]

Is downloading the problem srry

[1JdA1]

Does someone commit copyright infringment when they download from limewire? Cause the way I interpretted it was that u commit CPI when u copy a work and then sell it. So is it copyright infringment when u download a song and not sell it? Oh and is downloading copying?

I do't mean to sound stupid, but i'm confused. Is downloading the uploading or is uploading the problem.

[omgmt19]

the noodles love you too :)

[plutocratarianism]

Copyright is FASCISM.

Totalitarian Social Control and private corporate ownership of all thoughts and ideas.

[PaPPaE]

it's actually the control of the expression of those ideas, for no copyright can subsist in an idea...itself

[MovieReviewer2110]

When is your video about Fair use?

[maxp0w3r]

Is it an infringement if I made a video, recorded in the living room, music blasting out of my speakers , posted on youtube ??? Please reply if anyone knows. Cause I'm pissed off and wants to hear what is up, before I delete all my videos on youtube.

[RuneFroobs]

5/5.

And Tbh, I Like Being a Noodle :D

[RainyNguyen101]

UMG fucken stoled 1 of my video and said it was theirs, but i got my revenge by forcing YouTube 2 remove the video and now we're even >:D

[Lucindor600]

We should try to fight this Copyright bullshit. Youtube used to be about shareing, being able to upload videos without ANY copyright being placed onto you, but now.... now... ITS COPYRIGHT SHIT.

its not right...

To make matters worse, Viacom, Warner Bros, and other big companies are claiming Copyright infringement, on every video that has content that belongs to them, even though we try to say that we dont OWN the content that belong to them......

[hotheavymetalqueen]

youtube should delete the softcore porn clips as well in case a kid stumbles upon them cause some are not protected and can be wiewed without a birthdate notification.

[mohsenbergane]

fuck copyright refrigment! hh

[WiLLyWaCkYviDeOs09]

The video I've posted on your site was shown on CNN without my permission. I didn't get a penny for it. Should I throw a damn hissy-fit! No. Actually, I was estatic that they did air it. If I find out that they've deleted their copyright material used by Youtubians, then I will seek a lawyer to sue their asses. I hate greedy people and that's all this is. No. We shouldn't make a profit, but I we should ban people from our wallets that deny their creations for person usage.

[WiLLyWaCkYviDeOs09]

Everything is created by someone else. The chairs we sit on, the pictures on our walls, the paint on our walls, the candles that release smells and music. If I'm videoing my birthday and I scan my room, damn I've just infringed upon several copyright owners! We should fight back on this stupidity that people who sing karaoke are infringing, or people who are making parody videos are infringing! The time has come to ban those who ban us from using their material for personal use.

[animefreakculicious2]

Right on *thumb up*

[Matrix5060]

i thought you were sexephil

[konochi520]

me too xD

[shiningstars109]

Copyright laws on music are retarded. We're promoting the music!

[hairsprayqueen]

Whyyy did youtube only show this in my subscription box today. I'm 3 days late! Oy. Also I agree that copyright laws are messed up and stifle creativity.

[PoisonRosePixie]

copyright law is bull -.-

[333buttercup]

I agree about copyright laws.

[StrawberryRabbit]

Guys... The artists that created something don't get all provits via copyright... They get a STUPDLY low percentatge. Copyright makes COMPANIES RICH. Get in the business before you open your neanderthal-mouths!

Copyright law really needs to be re-thought! The people have made this system we're in retarded and stupid. We need the new generation to turn it back while there's still hope of doing so. If we can't do that then humanity is pointless.

[RBurgandy23]

punishment: Video tape 24 hours of your day, (played in fast forward, obviously) just so we can see what makes you guys too busy to post your vid by midnight :)

[thesittergal]

NO ONE has the right to take anothers work and and use it in any way, shape, form or fashion without the consent of the owner/creater! NO ONE!!!

[orangetree4]

the noodles love you back Micheal

[thinker900]

Fuck that! You mean to tell me that people have the right to steal others work and listen,view,or read it without paying for it??? Those record labels,film industry, anime(japan) and animation(cartoons US,etc)industries are not who I'm talking about. IT IS THE ARTISTS THE MAKE IT! They have a right to profit from their works. According to your logic for example: If you had a job and you did about 35 hours of work and you get ready to get paid and someone said they already got your hours from....

[thinker900]

someone that got into the files online. Now you suck with only having done 12hours and only getting not even half of what your know you have earned. That is what PIRACY has done to not only entertainment industries, but in other areas for business. I've seen reports that say that about 300,000,000dollars was lost to piracy. My favorite media anime is suffering...Geneon is no longer liensing, ADV has had to declare bankruptacy and merge to keep float. Piracy bites artists in the ass. ASSHOLE!!

[lexificationnn]

i learned alot from this video haha

[xmyotheraccountx]

still need a punishment? sing a hannah montana song in a public place! haha either you or stefan could do it.

[loveyoutodeathbut]

Doesn't it mess with your creativity to be forced to post videos on a schedule?

[ktayluvsnjo]

PUNISHMENT:

i just watched your baby foodz video for probably the hundredth time and i thought that could be your punishment. You have to either cover your face with, or eat 10 packs of chicken flavored

[aussielexi]

and the noodles love you right back mr. aranda

[skintootight]

yay creativity =]

creativity ftw.

[BADAPARTMENTS]

You will never believe what my Jewish landlord told the caretaker to help him to throw out our Blessed Mother statue in the dumpster he refused Mr Bomes asked him did he think his God was going to get him!Click on and see !

[TheBorzoi]

My punishment:

Do your video while sitting next to a complete stranger in public. I mean right next to them.

[lovebeyondwords]

pull out an eyelash :)

[livin4hymn]

i agree about copyright law needing an update.

about punishments: if ours aren't up to par, just make up your own since they'll probably be more creative/interesting. But I'm liking the suggestions about dressing like a pirate and talking to random people about piracy to fit the weeks theme.

[l0gically]

As much as someone may disagree with current copyright laws, *breaking* the law will not change it. In fact, these violations have provided various interests with exactly what they need to request (and get) more draconian laws passed in their favor. There is one sure way to stop this madness...don't copy, but even more important, don't buy. Sit the game out until the players come back with a more reasonable set of rules.

[PogoFONG]

Eat a container of garlic salt!

[soc2002]

You sound like an Oompa Loompa.

Your punishment should be to do a video dressed up like one. Hair, face, voice, etc.

[badbunny]

challenge ..do an entire vlog using song titles

[stuckey092]

Love the pirate bay!!!

[nutmegg0506]

i love vlogramen

[alisonf96]

youre totally right about priacy

[Neechers]

Well, keeping in theme with this weeks topic, you could always dress up as a pirate (I mean go all out), go out in public and ask for people's opinions on piracy. That could be interesting.

Oh and you'd also have to speak like a pirate. That just makes it a little more fun.

(and no I did not read the comments before mine so if there's something like this already then um, I fail at life)

[Neechers]

And YAY!!! Jordan! <3 I can't wait Friday's vid. Should be excellent.

[zestymonserellastick]

OMG i agree walk around in public dressed as a full fledged pirate and fake interview people about random stuff or piracy that is brilliant

[redheadpyro89]

Dye your hair hot pink

[flowerlalala]

Hmm.

Punishment.

Hmm.

Vlog while in a dog park. Covered in peanut butter.

XD

[shoyrurox]

best idea ever :3 -highfives flowerlalala-

[flowerlalala]

Thanks. x]

[swtypiii]

we love you too Micheal.

keep up the good work.

[chemicaljordan]

Oh Noes!

I am glad that this is the theme this week. :D

[MikeyPresents]

YAY Jordan!!!

(He's my favorite)

[goodbyejuliana]

You guys really put effort into this project. It's really entertaining!

[JohnsHouseofFun]

Gee. Where do I start? I believe the statement goes, "there is nothing new under the sun." In a sense, that is very true. Music is simply preexisting notes, tones, and moods that is rearranged to make a different sound. But at the root of it is the same element that another musician has used. Who's to say that they have more rights to a sequence of notes than someone else has? I personally try to avoid infringing on copyrights...Not always successful. I agree. Copyright laws do need reworking.

[mcat0789]

You should go to a nail salon and get a mani and pedi and film your video while doing it.

[yeahitsavo]

punishment: vlog while putting on all of the clothes you own

aggggr,

[MagandaSakuna]

I think you should eat worms for your punishment with slugs and fried cockroaches(these taste good)

[Kdebo159]

Punishments: vlog on a bus but every time someone around you says the word "the" you have to bark

or get a huge bowl full of grapes and smash them up with your feet. then, pour the juice into a cup and drink it yourself (or do it in public on a street corner or something and try to get someone else to drink it)

[FroZZiC]

you should read torrentfreak [dot] com if you aren't already. Great site that keep you updated on recent p2p happenings. Such as, the Italy block on piratebay, MPAA-enforcing the ISPs to implement a 3 strikes-and-you're-out policy.

[iamsammysam]

woo for chemicaljordan!

[thesummer06]

I agree with ehsteve23. Get strangers to speak your lines and record them. That should be interesting

[thesummer06]

Actually, reading through all the comments I found more ideas: speak backwards or in a different language.

[valerie2776]

Ooh yes. Pig Latin would be especially wonderful.

[kimbrrrrrly]

I think you should jazzercise your next video... Or lift weights or run on a treadmill or something while you talk because dear, all of that pizza is going straight to your thighs!

ILU Michael Peter. :)

[goodboyturnsbadboy]

You have great teeth. Just sayin' it.

[kneehow]

go vlog at the track in a speedo

[TheSANTIAG0]

lmao

you cant have the ramen without the noodles

punishment:)

put pink bows in your hair & jumprope down the street in public

i really dont know

[khalid066]

toothpaste sandwich

[Kelsitha]

Go up a size on your gages....and record it? Idk xD

[khalid066]

I think you are really awesome : )

[wrooney97]

vlog in a public bathroom stall

[crickettylovesRollo]

I say that you should dress up in a tutu and then go out in public while wearing said tutu and ask people question about that weeks topic.

[PickThisCar]

chemicaljordan!!!

[ehsteve23]

punishment: you are not allowed to speak, instead you have to get strangers to record what you want to say.

[emoloz]

try and take cheese from a rat trap

[keithzworld]

Die your hair Pink (and leave it like that for your next 10 videos)

[tellab17]

I'm so bad at making up punishments... you should write down ten things that you would never want to do in public, put them in a hat and do the one that you picked out of it. i love all the new vlogramen videos! =D

[OmgDagger]

put toothpaste in your eyebrows, and let it harden... The only way to get it out when it does that it to shave your eyebrows.

Or you could shave one eyebrow, and cut some of your own hair (From your head... Not leg hair ect.) with sissors.

[lefeiknight]

Woop Woop Chemical Jordan, haha what if the rest of the former 5 awsome geeks were flavor packets of the week.

[unfreez]

And you should totally shave your eyebrow !

[cheeya9000]

If you are in school. VLog with a teacher of yours.

Or have someone off the street do the talking for you.

[AndySmiirnoff]

so true, they really need to update those laws to current climates

[unfreez]

Yup, i picked this topic.. yeah i dunno, its interesting i guess.. lol i hear about loads of people that get catched due to copyright infringement, and it can be the most stupid stuff

[unfreez]

Great topic :D i feel loved

And yeah the current copyright laws are ooold as the hills, they should seriously reconsider it

[shebitmylip]

michael, go to a fast food restaurant of your choice on a bike in nothing but your underwear and shoes and go through the drive through. pay for you and for the person behind you (like free taco campaign but for your choice of fast food) and ask the person at the window if you can deliver them their food.

mmkay!?

OH YAY CHEMICALJORDAN! flavorpackets = awesome sauce

[x3chae]

Punishment:

Do next vlog on a full bus. Preferably sitting next to a stranger.Maybe asking them a few questions about their opinions on the topic of the week.

[WeBurnTheEvidence]

vlog as the joker from batman!

[standingintherain92]

vlog with close-pins on random places on your face =]

[standingintherain92]

cloths*

[IUnHeartU]

Hold your camera in front of your face and spin around while filming your video :D

[WeBurnTheEvidence]

drink 3 cups of water and immediatly after do 100 jumping jacks.

[branthony1151]

ure punishment should be.........toooo get an airsoft gun and shoot ureself in the face with it

[squishie427]

I love being loved. But you guys are FULL of punishments.

WHOOOOO! In regards to piracy, I believe that the copyright law is not fully understood by students and therefore people are persecuted unfairly. HOWEVER, I do not condone any sort of piracy WHATSOEVER. Artists deserve to be paid for their songs, and illegally downloading them is, well, illegal. Movies should be bought. If it's not yours, you shouldn't put it in your videos-music or otherwise. Give credit where credit is due, basically.

[DocterLovenStein]

Punishment: watch waterworld 6 times in a row

[JUTFROboy]

eat a blenderized happy meal of your choice

[jacklestein]

Punishment: Go up to a random person and start harrassing them.

[shadling21]

Awesome. I like it. He should speak it backwards then play that video backwards. That'd be a lot of work...

[shadling21]

Lotsa love here in noodleville!

I suggest:

- Eat three packets of UNCOOKED ramen noodles

- Stand on a busy street corner and read the first ten pages of jPod by Douglas Coupland into a MEGAPHONE (not starting at chapter one, but at page one... if you've read those pages you'll know why I mention this).

- Do an entire vlog while standing on your head.

- Translate your vlog into another language, attempt to read that translation, and post substitles of what you are attempting to say.

[shadling21]

One more:

- Do a vlog pretending that your big toe of your left foot is speaking to your right kneecap.

[squishie427]

Dude, I love this one.

[kalem56]

you should walk around the town/city where people acan see you in a tu tu while going lalalallaallala i love wildberrys!!

[kalem56]

Oddly enough, this is one of those situations where the emoticon actually matches my face.

[MadChildYAY]

PUNISHMENT:

Mucho loveo

-Indiaa

[stereochuck]

[karlaordonez]

[rippeddollarbill]

awess we love you too michael.

about piracy, i totally agree with you

couldnt say it any better.

ahhhh! chemicaljordan. im so stoked for friday

and im bad at punishment making D:

[lainieinsaney]

PUNISHMENT SUGGESTION:

vlog in a park while there are people around, dressed as a person of your choosing from the sound of music :D

[nazr14]

Here Here!

[pinkstarcloud]

Punishment: Walk around in public in a skirt.

Also, I've been wondering this for a while..

Where do you guys get the music for your videos?

[michaelaranda]

We write our own music. That way, WE own the copyrights!

[jhoney313]

He's ALIVE!

<3

[steelpoison86]

And, since I ran out of room on my last comment because I am a terrible ranter, you should paint your nails hot pink and speak like a valley girl

[steelpoison86]

Right?

I mean, people who write fanfictions, or make AMVs or FMVs *points to self*, who really do not benefit monetarily or otherwise from using such copyrighted materials as bases for their works shouldn't be fined or hunted down or restricted by outdated laws.

If anything, they should be praised, because the more people who view the original copyrighted material through fanworks or other the bigger chance there is of someone enjoying the original material and purchasing it. It's free promotion

[johnnyvlogs]

awesomeee.

[rss114]

punishment i say he has to shave is head like stefan andhis short hair

[Navs1231]

ooh i love chemicaljordan!

[ColeMoyers]

[Open2Fusion]

Hmmm So if i put up a title exactly the same as Yours in my next video will i be able to be Sued for COPYRIGHT?? O.o

Okay. What i really wanted to ask Michael is if you guys still accepted 'flavour packet of the week' Applications!!! I WANNA APPLY!

[MadChildYAY]

PUNISHMENT: Next Video You Have To wear Womens Clothes :) LOL

[DariushLOL]

[Sean5258]

Alright, here's your brutal punishment for you;

Do your next blog from a grubby public bathroom. ENJOY.

[alhi]

oh and PUNISHMENT:Vlog wearing a bra!

(idk lol)

[MattLikesToSayHi]

Chemical Jordan? AWESOME! =D

[thinklongandhard]

PUNISHMENT SUGGESTION: Re-create your favorite scene from "The Dark Knight" with clay action figure and using different voices and such.

[blath]

Alright, I try not to pull this one out, but I've done it twice before (the first college I went to was in the middle of nowhere, so we had to make our own fun), you must drink a regular sized bottle of hot sauce. Now, when I did it, I used tobasco. I love hot sauces though, and as I remember, you said you are not so tollerable to them, so something weaker, such as Cholula or Texas Pete will be acceptable. Now, you don't have to drink it from the bottle, you may pour it into a cup first.

[blath]

Upon completion of said firey drink, sing your favorite nursery rhyme or patriotice song.

[triathlonqueen]

You should soak your nails and then file them xD

[jaredmillion]

Punishment: Shave your eyebrows!

[bludlar]

PUNISHMENT: Make a song about Ramen, minimum 2 minutes long, and upload it (DRM free) to a site where we can all download it for free.

[AmandaSvensson1]

Do I have to send a new message every week if I want to be a Flavor Packet Of The Week'?

[vlogramen]

As stated in last Thursday's video, you do not. You're in the running until The 18th of August, 2009. Wee!
