Nothing personal, but I love how people write "no copyright infringement intended" like that negates what they're doing. I don't think you can drive 100 in a 40 and tell the cop "no speeding intended" :-p
@evilmonkeymonster I understand that. But I think my point was that (and granted, this is a point I made 2 yrs ago, so I'm reconstructing), The music is posted for free download. They are giving away the band's work for free. There is no video. There is no critical discussion. There is no fair use argument. It's simply "click to hear the song you otherwise would have to pay for". Easy to rip a (free) mp3 from this video. [continued]
@evilmonkeymonster [continued] And I say it slightly tongue in cheek (hence the :p icon), cause we've all shared music at some point in our lives, but to suggest "heads up people: I don't own the song" makes sense to post because if the record co. saw this, their concern would be "I hope people know this guy doesn't own the song" and not "stop giving our s**t away for free" simply amuses me. [continued x2]
@evilmonkeymonster [continued x2] All that said, I respectfully disagree with you. Comments like the one you suggest usually say something like "copyright owned by X" or "I don't own the rights to this". I'm not a copyright lawyer, but I don't think that saying "someone else owns this" is a defence to infringement. And, I KNOW that saying "no infringement intended" is not a defence to infringement (Can I sell the Da Vinci Code if I note "I didn't write this" on it?)
I remember this song, it was from Chicken Little right???

@TheHYPO
it makes it so the onwers cant claim that the people are saying that the song belongs to them
