TPS607 "Youtube Sacrifice Blues"

[Susanna129]

UNITED WE STAND!!-- DIVIDED WE FALL!!

United with all who love the music and social life on the Web...Thank you for the lovely video...Happy New Year 2012!!

Love, Peace and blessings...Suzanna

[Susanna129]

Thank you for the support of the struggle we all fill this impact. The You Tube is drowning slowly. The SOPA is the factor..Look at the Wikipedia for the SOPA.

There is also that questionnaire I shared with you, please pass that around to your friends.

The more they will hear from us the better will be. We are not going to give up the BOYCOTT will be ongoing!

[LanaV6]

@Susanna129 There is a questionarie going around? I never got it. It is about yt, right? Thanks.

[Susanna129]

@LanaV6 @ I have sent you one. Have a happy New Year 2012!

Love & Peace.

[judyesther]

I´m´with you.

All the best!

[tps607]

@judyesther don't forget...EVERY Friday!

[LanaV6]

@tps607 Hi! Most of us are doing it on every Sunday. It started out on a fri. But, everyone said, Sunday would be better for them. Do you want to change yours to Sunday? The more we stick together and do it together. The worse for them. And the more they will lose out. It is friday now. Anyhow, I will try to do both days. But, I have a bad memory. lol Good luck And hope you have a wonderful New Year. :o)

[beachfrontal]

Please mention tonights (In Europe) later in the USA lol blackout boycott in the info of this video that would get more to join as might this comment great video I will fav' it BE THERE ::::BE ABSENT 24 / 36HOUR total blackout of all videos edit to Private, so Google can make no money selling advert/publicity space on our vids, close all your your modules turn your channel invisible in settings make your home page as empty as you can achieve, stayaway between 24 hoiurs and 36 hours absolutely-0

[tps607]

@beachfrontal DONE!

[luvperu1]

Hi Tom--Reading through the comments I see there was a protest

early 2009-I didn't join until November 2009 so I wasn't aware of

a dramatic change..I guess it had something to do with the sharing..

I have enjoyed myself here for the past two years and will be sad

to see it all end.Hopefully they will let us stay in some little corner-

but that is wishful thinking.I enjoyed your song and is the singer

you....very nice...Polly

[tps607]

@luvperu1 Polly...they have been pushing us out ever since Google bought youtube. They will continue until we are gone...sad they care so little for those who built the site

[dmio2]

great tune... the corp o rate has a way diluting the fun out of things.

[tps607]

@dmio2 they will squeeze us out if the cash return isn't what they feel it should be....when I came here it was not about the money....just content

[fatturdburger]

Great video great song!

They seem 2b making youtube more & more anoying I feel like leaving.

[tps607]

@fatturdburger That is an understatement...in the end,if you don't make money for them...they will squeeze you out....the new cyber world order.....

[BlackWWidow]

Dear Tom ,congratulations ,this video is amazing ,hugs ,love ,Sofia.

[tps607]

@BlackWWidow Thank you Sofia,it is nice to see you.This was my weak protest song and youtube went BETA anyway...and many other user-unfriendly changes. I guess I have survived it...lol thanks for your visit and lovely comment...:o) tom

[tps607]

and on the internet...Google has connected everything of mine...I cannot fart without it showing on Facebook or Google...lol

[tps607]

time to pull it down...Beta is a fact now....no fighting city hall...lol

[CharmedQuarkZ99]

True Tom.......greed and control.....bound to seep onto YT sometime...gotta love those Clint Eastwood Spagetti Westerns...wow....awesome features too !

[tps607]

The quest for the "Fistful of Dollars" is already here.....

[CharmedQuarkZ99]

Ive seen that..and two other Eastwood westerns...also other full length movies and documentaries...me thinks YT is but one indicator the world is comming aapart

[tps607]

the new mtv

[bugsme10]

great video. ******

but what can we do ?????

[tps607]

We can do nothing,it is a sad but simple fact.We are here as guests.Unless everyone of us rose as one with an ultimatum,then as individuals we dance their tune or leave. Simple as that. And we will never all rise as one...too many don't really understand or care. In the end there will be a shift to another site and the process will repeat itself. (I am deleting the other messages) xo tom

[3colorsunburst]

great lyrics and voice*****

[tps607]

Thanks so much Andrew,happy to see you. tom

[cogermax91]

Ver VERY good song !!!  Bravo Tom !!! *****

[tps607]

Marie-Alix..he he...thank you I didn't expect you here! tom

[EdMuirton]

Brilliance Tom! Excellent singing, song, video, and production as always man! Most enjoyed! I think we are all wondering where YT is going? I sure do! Nice ride while it lasts! Hope it go's on!

[tps607]

Hi Ed....I appreciate the comment a lot....and as for where we are going on youtube....well,I am hanging loose and waiting...at least with the share feature castrated,I only get a couple hundred shares sent to me every day...see,even this has a bright side. lol tom

[Euterperocks]

Nice work. 5 stars.

[tps607]

Thank you very much!

[TeRRaYeLLeN]

5/5 and favourited .. cool song

[tps607]

Thanks Terry...nice of you to swing up here and say so! tom

[68generation]

Great to see your wonderful video on Youtube!!

[EllSimProductions]

Even better to see you in the audience! Thanks for coming by....I appreciate it. tom

[alanpgoodwin]

Full props to your message here! I still love this song. What we all put on here represents our willing sacrifices...each to different causes, loves, hates, hopes, dreams. Such a shame to be lost in the miasma of commerce. Guess we just keep doing what we do in spite of it all. Keep doin' that thing you do! I love it. :)

[tps607]

Thanks for listening...and for the complete grasp of what is happening here...Beta is next! tom

[Mallorcini]

WUNDERSCHÖN TOM....Eva

[tps607]

Thank you so very much,Eva...you are very kind. tom

[poemsbytom]

Yeah...stuck in my head...good job!!!

[tps607]

It is more effective than water-boarding and also approved by the Geneva Convention....

[friedhelmrss]

Great musik*****

Friedhelm

[tps607]

Thank you,Sir...I appreciate your listening and taking the time to comment. tom

[DrewFullerFancomfan]

great

[tps607]

Thanks!

[teyded]

Great vid and song

[tps607]

Thanks...this was a little protest song...lol Glad you like it.

[68generation]

Really good tune! I was out in this period, so you have to update me, was the video cancelled?

[tps607]

It hasn't been canceled,yet! But the squeeze is on to minimize non-commercial channels...Thanks for listening and watching and commenting your support of us "little guys" tom

[68generation]

Oh yeah? So Youtube is going to become just another commercial channel?? Who cares for that !! What can we do to prevent it?

[tps607]

Nothing to do...except leave if it becomes impossible to function as independent channels. They want us as viewers for the commercial channels and the ads...not as content providers.

[wakansoul]

Great song, voice and lyrics good work :)

[tps607]

Thanks! This is the acoustic original...look in my videos for the Rob Elliott version and SevenLamps video.That's the way it should be heard and seen.

[marcusnieman]

Great song, loved the video. mjp503

[mudbassfan]

this is really cool and the lyrics and singing are amazing. have you ever considered putting in other instruments?

[tps607]

Thank you....and funny you should ask....I will send it. tom

[daveshaw197126]

Great honest song,top marks from me

[tps607]

Thanks Dave,I really appreciate that a lot.Thanks for listening. tom

[larrygoldin]

Very nice!!

[tps607]

Thank you Larry.Your listening and comment are most welcome and appreciated. tom

[headrushindi]

You tube does not make one Famous, talented, or even Succesfull. These are attributes that you need prior to making a youtube debut.Youtube has only been successfull in sensationalising mediocrity, and making overnite wonders out of marginally talented people. Legends such as Wes Craven have a site here, and has comparitively few SUBS , does that mean he isnt famous?Youtube can go commercial if they want but we have lost nothing. there are many other sites ready to be the next Social sensation

[tps607]

Dale ...you are right,for sure.Still,there is a pain at the thought of leaving behind what we have poured our hearts into. Leaving what we have built over the years, which became so valuable that it made a lot of money for the founders....we are now only wanted as viewer count for ads....

[headrushindi]

nice,very nice

[tps607]

Thanks Dale....your listening and commenting means a lot to me! tom

[Erik4Rock]

Good,but I like Rob Elliott's cover of this!

[tps607]

His IS the best! I agree!

[mylovername]

NICE !! ^^v

[tps607]

Thank you so very much. I appreciate your listening and commenting! tom

[philonico]

[tps607]

Merci! Tout le plaisir est pour moi. I am happy to see you and thank you for your support! tom

[AnneSavina71]

Brilliant!

[tps607]

Thank you Anne,think of it as "Verbal Dancing". Not as graceful as yours,but as heartfelt and as much work! tom

[TravelWithMusic]

Simply beautiful song and singing. Love your voice...5* + playlisted

Hugs to ya

[tps607]

Thank you Heidi,I really appreciate that a lot.You are always so sweet to me. Thanks! tom

[alexandraxxxxxx]

your so talented hun...Ilove this vid....I hope YT sorts itself out..id miss ya if it all went pear shaped..x

[tps607]

Thanks...I do hope the sorting does not cause too many more casualties. I can find a way to life with the cramped share system etc....but I am seeing a lot of good channels bite the dust........Thanks for listening and smiling my way! tom

[LeighFeatherstone]

Nice as H.E. double hockey sticks!!!! i really like this song..

[tps607]

Leigh,thanks...just back from ice box...:o) I am pleased you like this and took the time to not only listen but also comment and fave. There is actually a fully produced cover of this by Rob Elliott in my vids...I'll send it along. thanks again! tom

[juntaoni]

Very well done! Thank You.

[tps607]

Thank you Alicia,your visit and comment are a nice way to start my Monday.I appreciate your listening. tom

[tps607]

Johnny....they are pressured from all sides...and it is the money which will be their focus of attention....since most of us do not make them any money,they will eventually bid us all adieu. tom

[jaypee1701]

Your probably right because when they will advertise on the youtube chanel every time someone who will makes waves will be trow out of here... ? Oh yes they will 4 shure. Johnny 3R.

[monello198]

hi mate.. passing through with friends.. they say hi amd thanky you for the music...

i say

love you mate..

;-}~

[tps607]

Sir Michael,so nice to see you! You seem in rather an expansive mood today. Was it the realization you will be living forever?....Or just your good nature and fine sensibilities...Cheers! I do appreciate your re-visit here. tom

[BigLoveZone]

SWEET MOTHER OF PEARL this a great anthem video!!!! KEEP SHARING THIS Y'ALL!

we just want equal exposure

How's your leetle typing fingers doing? Incredible!

[tps607]

Thanks for your continued support and sense of humor....my leetle fingers are equally exposed...but a soak in ice water ought to fix them right up

It will be a difficult one to deal with.(the other Tom)

[666Witch666Rock666]

GREAT VIDEO

[tps607]

YNGWIE....thank you so much for listening and commenting! tom

[galaxyworldwide877]

tps u r AB- SO - LUTELY right.... what about us who made this thing get big? Who provided 99% of the content and payed for it with every mouse click by offering ourselves to be targets for advertisers. We built YOUTUBE and Damnit we can build another YOUTUBE. I even wrote a song about it, check it out when u get a chance. There's some deeper shit involved (FEMA) but we won't get into that here.......

[Phoenix4Changes]

as far as the FEMA thing goes i hope u r wrong

this stuff is exhausting

take care

xoxoxo

[BostonRocker51]

maybe I'm missing something, but I have not heard about any "crackdown" by youtube...

[tps607]

Mark....check out the video this is a response to....it will tell you what is going on and going down....then think of how things have gone on your channel in the last year. Thanks for listening and taking the time to say hello...tom

[Phoenix4Changes]

was or was youtube not originally a way 4 the "little people" 2 broadcast themselves??? is there a new "Mission Statement" they need 2 change the name *** do any of the "Big Boys" give a rip about Us the General Public??? now is the time 2 see whom is whom ... *** Hollywood, hello??? all the famous writers/singers that sing all the "stuff" about everyday people, etc... or is it All About The Money??? *** Oh my i forget they are the real Stars, who needs a telescope/turn on youtube

[tps607]

They will come out on top....we are in their house at their discretion.Hard to believe they forget who built the house,though.....

[lmmsl]

A beautiful video..Thanks

[tps607]

The woods were made for the hunters of dreams,

The brooks for the fishers of song;

To the hunters who hunt for the gunless game

The streams and the woods belong...

and you have a beautiful channel! Thank you for taking the time to listen and comment. tom

[Danidch33]

Nice one! Thanks poembytom and tps607 for sharing:) Good Luck~~~

[tps607]

Daniela,thank you so much for listening and commenting...I really appreciate it very much.You have such a cool channel and source for me to wander with all of that great music in your play lists! tom

[lukessummer]

That new X-Men film looks worth watching, thanks for the heads up YOUTUBE...(Sheesh!!!)

[tps607]

Soon there will be things like X-Men competing for space here.....that's where it's going!

[Voktest]

Nice song, it really is. :)

Lyrics and music are both great ;)

[tps607]

Thanks so much. The lyrics are almost all that matter to me....but if the melody sucks then nobody listens...thank you! tom

[mamamialove]

Wow..keep going strong..what great

lyrics... HONOR, RESPECT, INTEGRITY AND PURITY OF ONES INTENTION where have they gone?

[FuriousDaveAndFoudli]

If youtube goes down, it'll be very bad... I support your movement

[tps607]

Thank you for your support and your listening...much appreciated

[checotahkid]

What truthful video, selling ourselves, getting short changed, and not getting anything in return. Thank-you for sharing this video with me.

[tps607]

Thank you Daniel,I appreciate your support and understanding...and your listening. This song was not written for this purpose,but a much higher one...tom

[danguoledddddddddd]

Nice...Thank You for sending it

[funnypunkgirl34]

nice video i love it! 5/5

[tps607]

Thank you...I really appreciate your listening! tom

[androclestipster]

Fantastic song. It is sad what is going to happen to youtube. A wonderful concept selling out to corporate deals. We made them what they are and look what they are doing to us. Sad.

[tps607]

You are correct...and it is sadly the way things work. We will still be here...at least for a while. But I think not even a consortium of the best channels can compete with the likes and power of outfits like Disney.....

[JackAwful]

Man that is one packed graveyard.

[tps607]

Jack...I don't think they mind too much.There are many good people there. Pere Lachaise in Paris, Jim Morrison and many others there.Thanks for stopping by. Tom

[yourevor]

Hey Ben....Even with the share restrictions,the community has really passed this around.Many people have shared and supported this. I am blown away by it all and wonder if there isn't some hope after all.....
