Fuck Youtube & Dailymotion

Both are literally taking creativity away from people. But I understand a select few will say "If you are so creative, then why do you have to break the copyright law?" My answer. Sometimes you just need something better then your own little keyboard soundtrack for a video. I admit, I once looped a Nine Inch Nails clip and distorted it for a video. It worked and no copyright violation was brought down on me. It was shitty that I had to do that though, because the original music as it was intended to be heard was much better.

And here I am right now with 4 copyright violations. WHHHAT!? First of all one of the video's I had featured a remix of a song, that I DID on my own. Another one got the shitty ad's put all over and the other two were taken down with my accounts pretty much being threatened with deletion.

Here's a little snippet for anyone from YT of DM.

"Copyright Disclaimer Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for fair use for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research. Fair use is a use permitted by copyright statute that might otherwise be infringing. Non-profit, educational or personal use tips the balance in favor of fair use."
