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.

    ^If security allows it in, you should defenitely take it with you.

    Also, if we organize a meeting at birmigham with people from these foruns that go to that gig, we should do it prior to the concert, while everybody is still alive and in one piece.

    ^I don't think they would allow me in. But I think it would be wise to go well protected, since I plan to go to the first line.

    Sure - i'm this kid ^^ but i pay for the tickets myself, and even if the prices were 150€ i would buy the tickets at once! Rammstein is too good to miss them because of my parents even if they wouldn't let me go, i would slip out of my house at night and go there by train, but fortunately, my father is picking me and my friend up there

    This is a business, if they think they could sell all the tickets more expensive, they will incresase the price.

    Note:Talking about Madonna, last time she came to Madrid she didn´t sell all the tickets.

    They are keeping the prices down, because they want to have this "sold out in ten minutes" image

    Imagine you have 100 000 willing to go to the concert for 50 EUR. But the capacity of the stadium is 15 000. Will you sell 15 000 tickets for 50 EUR? No, because there is 70 000 people willing to buy it for 70 EUR, 50 000 for 80 EUR, 15 000 for 150 EUR (this is an example). So what you do is that you set the price to such a level you sell out all seats for a maximum price. And yes, those 15 000 will be happy, because they can afford it and will buy it. And the rest of the people who can not afford it? They will stay home. If you want to buy Ferrari, they will not sell it cheaper, just because there is 1.000.000 fans somewhere outside...

    ^Gotcha. It makes thing more expenssive and pontentially less profitable for the resellers. But that would make fans angry at pilgrim managment, since they would have to pay more no matter what.

    If Mandonna was for 10 EUR, I would buy 10 000 tickets and resell them. If for 200 EUR, I would buy just one for me - now you understand?
