FORUM RULES ABOUT WEB-BASED LINKS TO MUSIC AND VIDEO'S

Based on latest discussions on this forum, and studiing copyright laws, it is necessary to state out new forum mandatory rules, effective immediately, so, here we are.

LINKS TO MUSIC & VIDEOS: what is legal/what is not.
NEW RULES in the forum state:

From now on in our forum users shal NOT POST TOPICS THAT containin the following :
• Requests for or links to MP3s, music videos, or other files of questionable legality
• Bootlegs

So, please do not POST A LINK TO music or videos which does not directly originate from an officially legal site.

An OFFICIALLY LEGAL SITE is: rammstein.com or rammstein.de, universal music, a legitimate music site like MTV or VIVA. The links must be direct and linked only to the approved site. Any links which have copied and transferred the music or videos from an official legal site to ANYWHERE else are NOT OFFICIAL.

• Do not ASK FOR A LINK to music or videos. If there is a legal site for either listening or viewing, xTERNAL will provide the information in the NEWS section of www.RAMMSTEIN-EUROPE.com.

WHAT YOU CAN DO in the forums: You can DISCUSS a new song or a new video.

WHAT YOU CANNOT DO in the forums: provide illegal links or ask for links, give directions of any kind as to where something might be found (examples: file-sharing, other fansites, etc.). Screen caps will be allowed (within reason) AFTER a video has been made available through an OFFICIAL LEGAL LINK. Fan remixes of songs will be allowed (within reason) after the song has been officially released.

The above restrictions are necessary not because we are being “damn babies” or “. The reason is simply that RAMMSTEIN-EUROPE has made the decision to not be a facilitator of illegal activities involving copyrighted material. The reason for that is also clear. Rammstein’s Management has shown aggressive behaviour in combating copyright infringement.

Anyone who violates the spirit of the aforementioned expansion/explanation of what the RULES mean here as applied to music and videos (and this also includes the "making of videos") will meet up with one of the following consequences:

POST BLOCKED, LINK ERASED AND WORSE.... BANNED IF NECESSARY.

If you have ANY questions about what may or may not be acceptable here, you can always PM a Moderator and ask first before posting something that might get you in trouble here.

•any links to www.youtube.com (or other sharing sites of a similar nature)are generally not allowed.
While some videos like fan made items or spoof animations are allowed, we do not allow linking to youtube. Oftentimes there is/are illegal videos of Rammstein performances to the side of the linked videos. Actual Rammstein Videos which are very illegal to be hosted by that site - therefore we cannot allow links to youtube to be allowed.

So, links to youtube are now allowed - ONLY IF it is a fanmade video by you, and does not contain bootleg footage or footage of live performances or released performances. Stills from photos found on the net are OK. A montage is OK. Clips of released footage are NOT OK.

Please try to understand that sometimes while we may allow a certain individuals fanmade videos, and deny another persons it is usually because the content in it could get the forums in trouble.

Also if some individuals post their fanmade video and it turns out to be bootleg footage that they filmed themselves at a concert and consider that "fanmade" - then we will have to reverse the ruling on allowing fanmade videos PERIOD!

Here is an update on what is considered "fanmade".
Fanmade is fanmade. You did it yourself. Like cut and paste. You creatd everything yourself. No footage filmed by someone else no clips. Still images are OK.
For example:
If you go out and find 6 banana slugs in the yard, dress them up in LAB outfits, and put the skinniest one in a paper boat and play the music to SEEMANN on a kazoo. That is fanmade.

If you have a coverband and you do your own video or you have footage of YOUR band's performance. That is fanmade.

If you have images that you sketched of how you think the video for a song should have been and you put it to music - I think we can allow that.

Use your creativity.

IF YOU SEE VIOLATION OF THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS, REPORT IT BY USING THE EXCLAMATION MARK IN THE TOP RIGHT CORNER OF RELEVANT POST.

  • That could be it, Snake - but from how I understand it. There will be more background material than just the concert footage.

      • ^Yup, probably. I just hope that extra material won't fuck up the experience. I actually think there are a lot of red flags against it.
        "Which is better, eternal happiness or a ham sandwich? It would appear that eternal happiness is better, but this is really not so! After all, nothing is better than eternal happiness, and a ham sandwich is certainly better than nothing. Therefore a ham sandwich is better than eternal happiness."

          Hope you are wrong, it should be the complete gig with some footage before and after,

              That would result in at least a movie as long as the Dark Knight Rises. And Jonas Ackerlund is no Christopher Nolan. My bet is that we are getting a botched and cutted down live experience toned down to one hour and a half and a lot of bullshit pushed into the actual concert.

              • Agree, let's have the concert uninterrupted and then the documentary part separately. A bit like Volkerball, concert on one interviews/background on another dvd. Since I don't expect the move will be in cinemas outside Germany?

                Comment


                • Yeah, I think I'd much rather have an entire concert and then see a documentary separately. I need money so I can buy Rammstein stuff. Anyone want to donate to the EmeraldRose Needs Rammstein Stuff Fund?

                  Comment


                  • But will there be a CD included like Volkerball's DVD+CD Package?
                    That'd be nice

                      For me the perfect one would be, something like 15-20 minutes before, with footage of the building of the stage, some of the tests (lights, pyro, sound...), out of the venue with little interviews with the fans, something really quick, fans entering the place, the band before and then the complete gig and 5 o 10 more minutes after it ends. More or less 2 hours and a half

                      • ^Sorry EmeraldRose, but I've had a very expensive year. My laptop, my dvd-player, my dishwasher, my microwave and my amplifier/tuner all broke down during this year and had to be replaced ;-)

                        Comment


                        • That would be for cinemas and more extra content for the DVD, where you can choose what to see, including an option of only the concert.

                            Aww...maybe we could make it The Rose & EmeraldRose Fund?

                            • ^ In fairness I think you and your family might need it more. Any new job on the horizon for your husband? I'll live, I just have to be a bit careful for the next couple of month ;-)

                              Comment


                              • ^Yeah, and honestly if I had the money it'd be going to stuff for my kids anyway. I rarely get stuff for myself and when I do, I usually feel guilty about it. Especially if it's a "want" instead of a "need".

                                He's actually at a test for a job now. Has a few applications out. Thanks for asking
