The WMG copyright story - A tribute to YouTube users

Warner Music Group might be getting back with Youtube, but they need to get back with the users as well. See what YouTube users had to say to WMG. In the aftermath of the WMG story several important questions remain open:

What can we learn from the WMG saga?
Who owns what?
What is original?
Who gets paid?
Who gets to make the rules?
Who does the copyright law serve?

Be heard! Respond, rate and comment.

Age is not where credibility comes from.

There are many adults in this story behaving as 10 year olds, and they're wearing suits and all :)

WMG = world music gestapo they are fuckwits with ridiculous rules with only one aim in mind and that is to force feed their rules and regulations onto the public by some slick talking suits i am getting sick and tired of someone i dont even know telling me what i can and cannot do and who do they think they are telling anyone anything while making their own laws i will be boycotting anything with the WMG logo and i suggest everybody else does the same !!!!!!!!!

@BioDog67 Actually when you buy a cd, game, or movie you do not own any rights to it. the only thing you can do is to use it for yourself. Learn what the law really is before making some stupid comment. Lots of laws like this are miss understood because people just assume they know everything about the law just by reading the title but not what the law actually is.

@RawrtardsRus it seems to me that it goes back to the old philosophy of "They'll bow down to whoever they can get the most from... whether it's money or whatever it is that floats their boat."

@DevaXfish watch putting it on CD.... WMG might claim it and say it belongs to them... [but more power to you all the same]... :-)

[BioDog67]

WTF is WMG's problem?!?! Once I buy a fuckin' CD, the music on it is MINE to do what I want with... that's why I bought the damn thing, but if they're gonna' be the music NAZI's the people on YOUTUBE are saying they are... to hell with em'... I will NOT buy another cde from them again... I'll simply copy them from friends or family... then WMG can kiss every single square inch of my fat, hairy backside!!! HEY! WMG!!! BITE ME!!!!!
