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.

    I agree, but he wrote a book and published it; probably he would like moré people could read it. And he won't lose money With it. A translation would be welcomed

    I don't think flake is that into money. I intend on buying it when I go to berlin later this month. I am currently learning German so it'd be great studying material

    I doubt it too. He seems to have an aversion to foreign languages. If we wont learn German, he cannot be bothered.

    He should be a good boy and hire a translator to create an english version of his book.

    Here is another video interview. This time done by Deutsche Welle.

    It seems that they filmed several interviews of Flake at a warehouse in Berlin where the band's equipment is stored. I wonder if any crazy fans ever attempted to break in there and steal something.

    ^I never said it has to be worse, I only said that, knowming myself as I know, that I probably won't like it. And even if I like at least one of the songs in it, I would still not like to endure all the other ones I didn't enjoy, specially if they comprise most of the setlist.

    I think new material is a proof that a band is still alive, still innovating, still capable of surprising. I hate how AC/DC uses a new album just as a reason for making another classic's tour. I'm so happy Rammstein hasn't given in to that! I'm glad I saw most of LIFAD live! It really gives them a lot of credibility as a vivid band that they're not just living of their old ones. I don't want them to become same old-same old Mötley Crüe or AC/DC: good cover bands of their own music.

    And honestly, why would a new album be worse? @Snake: don't you think LIFAD was a valid purchase even because of the few songs you like? I personally wouldn't even regret purchasing LIFAD even if I only liked half of the songs (the other ones still make up for it!).

    Yes. Yes it is...

    ^Or preprare the stage for 20-30 songs, play always the same 14-15 and have a place for 3 songs that could be chosen differently at each show, instead of treating their concerts like stage plays.
