  • so i wanted to watch this video again after some time, and it turns out it's been 'banned' by GEMA in germany... why Lso, why?!

  • @blutfrosch no idea sorry! What's GEMA?

  • @Lso the message i get: "Unfortunately, this video is not available in Germany because it may contain music for which GEMA has not granted the respective music rights." -- well, GEMA is a real party pooper, that's what it is... (Gesellschaft für musikalische Aufführungs- und mechanische Vervielfältigungsrechte (GEMA) (Society for musical performing and mechanical reproduction rights)), virtually GEMA is to germany what DMCA is to the united states... :'(

  • @blutfrosch ah! Hmm. We are in the middle of some rights negotiations with various parties regarding the use of this video; perhaps this is the reason. Hopefully only temporary. You can get the whole thing on DVD from lso.co.uk along with the CD recording. Will post to Germany!

  • Brawo wierzę w geniusz syna marnotrawnego

  • @abrockma36 the original text is taken from Isaiah 9:6 in the Bible, a prophecy of Jesus' birth 100s of years before the actual event in the Roman province of Judaea during the reign of Ceasar Augustus, describing God's plan to redeem fallen & separated man by preparing a body for the 2nd person of the Trinity, the Son, in order to lead a perfect life of obedience, die on the cross & be an object of belief for us so that if we believe our spirits are made alive unto Him, to be w/ Him forever.

  • @abrockma36 an english translation from the original hebrew
