Default Re: Music Industry Wants More $$ From YouTube

if they want more money from i get that but if it's to stop them from having certain videos for it that's not right. i am a beach boys fanatic i've been a fan of theirs since (1984) when my brother introduced me to their music and i have through the years i've downloaded and got offline over 100 bootlegs, some i paid for and some i was given to from various people because they know i'm a fanatic of their music.

i belong to a beach boys fan site and it's not a pirate site, they post videos from you tube on there, oh and i have never sold, traded but only kept for my own personal use and not for anything but that, in short i've made no money from getting these bootlegs. nor do i ever plan to either, anyways on the site they've posted videos of songs i've never even heard of them before. outtakes and i am a HUGE fan of their music and i get to listen to music that will no doubt never will be put onto cd or anything at all because some of it the band thinks is dreadful.

there's music in the Stones Libary that i have from bootlegs that are outtakes that they think are dreadful but they aren't. they are gems Billy Joel thinks all of his music that has never been put on albums are songs that are terrible and that's not right either cause he's flat out wrong.

there's plenty of gem and if piracy never existed i'd never have a lot of these songs, or if you tube didn't have them i'd never hear them. my point is since MTV and VH1 no longer exist as music channels but reality tv. you tube is the only way to discover an artists music. and i've became fans of certain groups of bands/artists through downloading, through you tube that i never would have thought to listen to before.

and these assholes i'll be bleeped but i don't care don't ever think to realize that if neither existed they would have NO money coming in at all! no i don't think it's only from that cause people can hear one song on the radio and pay for it legally.

i still buy cd's dvd's etc as i've said many times. in fact i downloaded the monkees NEW album and put it on my ipod and i've since bought the cd of it because 1. i love the band and i would have bought it anyways and 2. i was impatient to hear it because i haven't heard NEW stuff from them in 20 years! great album by the way.

what they need to do is stop all of this crap and realize the potential in making money from piracy instead of trying to stop it and spending money to stop it.

them going after people who movies on the street for example that's one thing i get that, and that's been going on long before piracy ever started on the net. trying to stop that is like trying to stop prositution sorry for my bad spelling it'll never happen.

i have no idea if they will ever be able to stop piracy but if they get pretty far no doubt it will just go underground in some form or other. now i don't download everyday.
i go through periods when i can get a lot. than i'll go through periods where i barely do any and that's fine. but i've been trying to cut back on it watching movies like i said on you tube 1st.

before i go i just want to say this, i've prolly said this before that when VHS 1st hit the studios were against it and one even said they thought the idea of people watching a movie more than once and not paying for it was wrong. they wanted your money each time you watched it and look how big that ended up being? it's still going on where you buy movies legally in stores and it makes a **** ton of money.

with digital stuff it in a way still goes on you just don't own it physical that's all. they need to realize that piracy is just another form of that. and jump on the wagon on realizing they could make money from it instead of trying to stop it.
