Harwood Butcher Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 "Internet hotspot YouTube has announced an agreement offering YouTube and its users access to thousands of videos on YouTube from Universal Music Group’s extensive roster of artists covering every genre of music. The agreement also allows users to incorporate music from UMG for videos they create for YouTube. YouTube and UMG have also agreed to a process to protect UMG copyrights using technology to filter out UMG content that is not authorized to appear on the YouTube service." SOURCE ??? Are they letting us use their music or what? I'm so confused. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

azn Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 It sounds confusing. For a start, this isn't commercial crap, this is video content that people like us upload in our free time. They think it's some kind of channel for people and will probably just end up a bad idea.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrLlamaLlama Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Right. The UMG are making it fine for any existing shit to stay, any new submissions have to be by them. BUT, if a given track, not in full, is on someone's video (for purposes other than the music) that's fine if posted by a user. I think.

NotYouHaha Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 (edited) The article is dated "By Patrick Luce Oct 10, 2006, 14:27 GMT". I can't stress how much dates need to be read on forums or whatever it is. Edited February 5, 2009 by NotYouHaha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The date doesn't matter, nothing has changed. This was just brought to my attention since the recent muting Youtube has been doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rockstarrem Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Two examples Harwood Butcher, this is complete bullshit in my case: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harwood Butcher Posted February 6, 2009 Author Share Posted February 6, 2009 (edited) Yeah, that's gay. Although, that was because of WMG, not UMG. WMG just had an all out bitch fest and got all their shit taken down, but it seems like UMG is letting us use all of their material or allowing only certain things, which is what I'm trying to figure out.
