I am with you on this, after all we pay there dam licence fee, i think we shoud not have to pay it anyway, all the other channels do not ask us to pay for them, they should have adverts instead, ban tv licences, we pay enough in this country.
It is bizzare and somewhat baffling. They have deleted some of my clips and even suspended a whole user account over this random copyright campaign. Programs like Top Gear, I can understand, but 10-15 year old clips of Libera on Songs of Praise? I found the magic of Libera, through RU-vid watching clips like the one's they have removed.
Even if that were the case (and that would be wonderful) RU-vid clips CREATE a market and a demand for quality DVDs. Their action is petty, shortsighted, mean-spirited and crazy - RU-vid clips could never replace a high quality DVD, but they make excellent FREE advertising.
Out of the ordinary and extreme? I don't think so. The only experience pertinent to this is that I uploaded clips from some old editions of Songs of Praise which the BBC has gone to all the trouble of having removed.
I think it is stupid, im with you on this, we pay there wages,i think we shouldent be made to pay the licence fee in the first place, all the other cannels are free, except sky, and even they dont ask for exstra for a licence, we realy should stamp this out, alot of poeple are on benifits, and find it hard, to live from day to day, without finding exstra money for the licence, ban the tv licence i say.
You know, if they want to package these old clips into a DVD that can be purchased there might be at least a small market of dedicated fans willing to pay. If they're just going to destroy the clips it doesn't make sense.
Hallo notyobs, I see this video about BBC first time and I refer to You, that I try to avoid violation of copyright. Therefore I prefer to post most videos for friends only. I remember, that I invited You... (the newest "private" video will show the last minutes of "Das Wunder der Liebe")
I remember you had a few, but which songs they were I don't exactly remember clearly but I had a vague recollection of one young lad singing.. and I cant place a name the clip but it was some one from St. Philips Choir and it was from many years ago. Where could I go to view the songs that they blocked?
ahh!! Thats where you are wrong. You see, to watch youtube videos one doesn't need to pay TV license hence the few people example students with internet but no TV can watch these videos on youtube and may be less likely to get TV license. Hence perhaps thats a reason?? A bad reason non the less but still a reason.
It's all about info and art control, and it goes beyond money. Be thankful your television channels aren't owned by GE, Disney/Cap, a renegade newspaper man from Australia and a reclusive entertainment mogul. Fight back. Kill your TV.
