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.

    They mistakingly used a picture from the "Völkerball" cover-band in the cover. Or maybe it's some legal issue?

    Do we know which picture is on the original? Personally I think it's the graphics department who screwed up.

    • ^That is really embarrising amateur work.
      Even the anouncement, saying that that they're releasing a trnaslation of "a" unofficial biography. Why not specify it? Why would one put it like that?

        It actually doesn't say 'unofficial biography' anywhere. That is Chriss' addition ;-) in the article.It does say *The cleverest and most serious until now written about Rammstein", attributed to a German review of the original book.
        This it it: https://smile.amazon.de/Rammstein-10...s%2A=0&ie=UTF8 without any pictures of any band on the cover.

          The part about "unofficil biography" was how the original book in german was promoted, that's why I wrote that. The original book had no official cooperation from Rammstein.

          • "The cleverest and most serious until now written about Rammstein" would even be more embarrasing if joined by that picture.

            But only 100 pages isn't that much. And the phrase that they mean to provoke (ok that's fair) and polarize (uh.. what?) seems a bit weird as well. I don't like the describing phrases from the small part we can already read either. 2-3 pages is just describing the beginning of Völkerball and what they are wearing and doing that night, wihtout any analysis or so. I don't need to read that. Maybe it's not a book for the fans.

            • ^ All biographies will be 'unofficial" i believe. I think the closest we'll ever come to something official is Flake's 'It's the World's Birthday Today', which only mentions the other 5 very sporadically. They're all very private and most of what we think we know about them off stage are unsubstantiated rumours.

              Comment


              • ^I guess so. THe Gert Hof - biography was semi-official, I guess, with lots of private details (except about Ollie), but that's the closest we'll get, and it's only about their first few years. This "new" one has a bit of an unfortunate timing, as it ends right before their last record.

                I see Richard write a book still, but it would be about himself, not just Rammstein.

                • As for the Danish translation, the publishers have now reacted to comments about the coverfoto.
                  They asked for permission to use a photo of the band, but the cost of that meant they would loose money on the book, so they decided to use a 'tribute band' as they thought a graphic/text cover would be too boring.
                  I commented that it worked for the German version, and that attitude showed they didn't take the subject or the potential readers seriously. I also gave a link to the German book, which is under half price of the Danish book.

                  • Rammstein Belgium published photos of Paul Landers and other band members in Austria (I think) from a few weeks ago. Apparently a new video for Rammstein was shot.

                    There wasn't much actual proof, but the guys from RammsteinBelgium are not often wrong and seem to have contacts close to the band.

                    • ^it would be natural if they released a video before they re-start the tour, just to say: We're here and ready.

                      • ^Then I guess the video for Zeig Dich would be kept in the vault once again (if that really exists, I begin to doubt)

                          Wouldn't be the first video to be ditched. Remember Mein Hertz Brennt, that took quite a long time before they allowed the original to be shown.

                          • The new rumor is that the new album will be released before the stadium tour. So the video being filmed will probably used as a first single.

                            • Schneider have had a conversation with Thomas Pesquet, astronaut on ISS and played him a track from the upcoming album. See more on his Instagram:

                                I saw that! Later on he even made another post in which he called it «the upcoming single». Looks like things are starting to move. But I wonder how soon? I doubt they want to steal the spotlight from Emigrate’s new album.
