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.

    ^Maybe they have 2 replicas of their stage and sound gear, and they will send one to the Americas and keep the other in Europe. Or maybe they will use considerably less stuff on the Americas.

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."

      ^Exactley, but they did the same thing in 2010. They went all the way to North-America just for 1 festival apperance in Quebec. They might do more dates in the Americas. However according to a few articles I read about the "Heaven and Hell"-festival, it's said to be the only BIG festival in Latin-America that is completely focused on Metal.

      Since we still have only been getting festival dates, I wouldn't be suprised if they would go to this festivals and maybe 1-3 other dates in the Americas, before going back to Europe.

        ^@Snake

        According to fans who went to the book-readings, Flake said that the entire 2016 tour is supposed to have a very watered-down stage show. In that way transport might be a lot faster and cheaper.

        Then again, Flake also said they would only go to small festivals due to their lack of a big show. Since Rammstein is headlining pretty much every big festival in Europe, one could argue that the band changed their mind and is going to tour with full gear as ususal.

        However I do agree with Snake that they might play with less gear in the Americas.

          That could very well be, they've done that before, and as I also said, they might swing by a few places North of the border, now they're over there

            This gives me a lot of hope that they will come north of the border. Although considering airfare to Vienna, the MC ticket prices are so high that it isn't any cheaper for me to see them in Mexico than to see them in Europe. Can't wait for them to announce more dates!

              Fingers crossed for at least one show in east Europe. But I have a feeling it won't be the case and I will have to travel (wich means extra time and money).

                  Hmmm, I don't know what does "close" mean to you. Until now, Vienna would be the normal choice. Budapest would be also great, because I think it is highly unlikely to see them in my country.

                    I very much wish for that. We *briefly* debated whether we could make it to Mexico. The answer was no

                      I'm sure They want to play in the USA, and probably they will add mote dates, so until the end there are chances.

                        ^ I figure if they don't this time, maybe they will after the new album.

                          I had the weirdest dream this morning: I were in an unknown (to me) small town and realised there was a festival going on and Rammstein were playing! So I made my way to the front and the band came out onto the strangely small stage and just stood there with arms folded, staring out over the crowd. Suddenly from the back of the crowd a procession of green men (much like Blue Man Group, but green) made their way through, carrying the instruments to the stage and they were handed to the band members, the last thing was a large oil-drum with the inscription "benzin" handed to Till. . . . I wish I could tell you what happened next, but then I woke up to a very WTF feeling.

                          Now I finally look forward to the Summer Festival, and I'm glad i bought a ticket and booked a B&B

                            ^Haha, weird dream indeed , but not the weirdest Rammstein one I ever heard. Someone I knew dreamed meeting Till on an airplane to Rome and getting a foot massage from him!

                            Good job on the booking, it'll be worth the effort!

                            Dort wollt' ich auf dich warten
