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.

      The subtext of that whole interview seems to be that the band did try to compose new material, but that it didn't work out and instead of pushing it, they simply said "fuck this shit, lets go to festivals".
      "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."

          Well, they started scheduling festivals at the same time when new rehearsals started. As I learned from Google Translate, they "have some things done"...
          God knows, we'll see

          • ^Regardles of how much new material they really have already, my prophecy came true: they would not release a new album before 2017.

            • Yeah, I expected the same. My guess (in the best case): spring 2018. Maybe they continue writing in the autumn 2016, recording in spring 2017, mixing in autumn 2017.
              A bit optimistic hahaha

              • As long as they at least keep performing shows, I have no complains. And if and when they release a new album, it better be something worth listening to.

                • I will re-read this awful translation tomorrow, but I'm sure you'll understand the meaning. This was in essence the interesting part of the interview

                  Richard was asked about the three years hiatus dedicated to other projects, this was his answer:

                  For me, the formula is quite simple: Everything that makes you happy, makes also the band happy. I support the idea of everyone exploring other projects and continue making music, I firmly believe that. Some need it, others don't. In my case it was necessary, because it was so much what I have to take out from me that it was generating an imbalance in the band.

                  It has been seven years since the last Rammstein's studio album, are you going to release new material in the short term?

                  When we met again, last year, we imposed us the rule of no rules. We wanted to see what happened and some things came out, but without that pressure that affects creativity. The truth is that I was sceptic to the idea of meeting again, but i was surprised, i like this group dynamics. We are in a moment in which we don't follow the industry rules anymore, that logic of "releasing an album -touring- releasing another album". I hope it will continue.

                    Liar, of course you have. Even if you go abroad, you will always complain because the don't visit Portugal.

                    • ^I have been considerably quieter about that matter during this tour.

                          No one here expects new material before 2017, when they met up in September we all said 2 years. So I'm looking forward to my x-mas present in 2017

                          • Do you guys know any details about Rammstein private aftershow parties? Are they organized after every concert or just sometimes when the band feels like inviting some fans and drinking?

                            Comment


                            • ^I think since LIFAD tour they always have aftershows. Some fans do get invited, specially if they happen to be attractive girls.
