Is your avatar supposed to be creepy? 'Cause it kinda is.

transluscent · 06-24-2006, 11:23 PM

it is whatever you want it to be

COG · 06-24-2006, 11:30 PM

That's pretty intense!

Thoughtless · 06-25-2006, 01:12 AM

So the RIAA cares that this site has horrible quality homemade clips of losers dancing to their favorite songs but they don't care that there are thousands of readily available full-length music videos ripped directly from TV on this same site?

The Omega Concern · 06-25-2006, 01:15 AM

Thoughtless,

who does RIAA go after for those videos, rippers who can't be traced or a class action suit against DVD makers?

I'maskingforit! · 06-25-2006, 01:32 AM

only a matter of time.. but pick your fucking battles.

they do care about the latter and had already taken actions against them.

Quote:

These homemade clips are a distinct phenomenon from the professionally produced music videos that are all over YouTube, which also have the RIAA concerned. Last fall, at about the same time the labels and studios realized they could sell videos for $1.99 on iTunes and Google Video — to the tune of $3.7 million in three months, according to a Billboard article earlier this month — those same videos, captured via TiVo and uploaded by fans, began proliferating all over the Internet. The same Billboard article reported “the RIAA recently issued cease-and-desist letters to YouTube users sharing videos from the likes of Nelly Furtado, Beyoncé and Rihanna,” and has been lobbying the Web site to better police itself.

Not that I'm complaining, but they seem to have done a pretty shitty job taking care of them, or at least staying consistent in doing so.

tcm · 06-25-2006, 01:56 AM

you said dong. but yeah, that's pretty much been their track record with all these things, hasn't it?

Fattening Ass · 06-25-2006, 02:01 AM

fucking awesome

After all, the RIAA is the same group that, in its three-year battle with file-sharers, has brought suit against a dead person, a grandmother, and a 12-year-old girl.

these copyright nazis have got to be the biggest party poopers in the history of the world. like if there's a big awards show after judgement day, that's what they get

ahh, hmm...i took thoughtless to mean people ripping stuff from television shows...say in a nice Vid format you could transfer to disk. anyway, ya, they gotta pick their battles.

who's next?

Effloresce · 06-25-2006, 11:08 AM

I hate these lip sync videos as much as anyone, but holy shit, what a waste of time, effort, and money. I can't believe they're actually doing this. No one takes those stupid videos seriously.

RIAA and MPAA have far too much control and it makes me irate.

DeviousJ · 06-25-2006, 01:41 PM

So they're not actually doing anything yet?

Effloresce · 06-25-2006, 01:55 PM

The fact that they're even talking about it is beyond ridiculous.

Dong fixed.

But yeah, you've got a point. Their progress on things like this makes it just seem like a scare tactic.

tcm · 06-25-2006, 04:23 PM

i wish you didn't fix your dong, i think your dong was perfect the way it was.

Maninashed · 06-25-2006, 07:40 PM

These are the idiots who don't think we should be allowed to copy our CD's onto our MP3 players.
