Location: Phoenix AZ | Distributing CDs of his covers, much less posting them here is not as straight forward (or legal) as you might think. Good luck.
As much as I can sympathize with his situation, and other peoples desires to have access to his videos, the fact remains that he is not the copyright owner. |

Are you saying that the vids and audios of previously published/copyrighted music on the ning site are illegal?
If no one is making money, what's the issue?
Sure would like to get some valid readings on this topic... |

| I suppose the prevailing theory is that YouTube, via advertising and what fees they might collect, is making money, (but not a profit, it seems).
So although Larry, or Fretkillr or I are not getting paid for our performances, our videos attract the audiences that see the advertising, same as radio or TV.
Frankly I was wary before I posted, but there were so many damn covers there that had been there for years, I figured it must be OK. It seems it's not. Given some of the extreme punishment visited on some of the Napster folks when that came crashing down, I don't want to be caught up in that kind of repeat of history. I believe Larry's a pro, nobody knows what Fretkillr is, but I'm sure not. I'm just some guy; it's not worth that kind of risk.
It would be great if there were a place where we could share our performances and tell the big guys, "Hey, we're just harmless kids having fun." But the big guys do own the songs, so it's their call. And they made it. |
