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.

      No, no, no. @Progmetty: She wasn't in that list of dangerous people. She can't be included there. She has her own list... She is dangerous yes, but swords and shields aren't needed... maybe yes.

      Crazy obsessed fan is nothing to describe her, she is worse than that. My english is shitty so I don't have adjetives to describe her sickness. Yes, she is sick. if you find the word Richard you'll find her there and some of her comments will surprise you, take a look. If you want i could find some examples for you, you'd have fun. We have no confidence yet, so won't say what i was going to add, maybe in the future or you can read it in other threads here.

                  • Más más más por favor girls! lol
                    RICHARDS BIGGEST FAN I'v only recently known the band members by names. A huge part of what makes Rammstein appealing to me is the choppy guitar riffs so I read up on both guitarists and discovered Richard had a side project called Emigrate. Frankly I didn't enjoy it at all. A lot of creative music but the guy can't sing to save his life.
                    Let me tell you my story briefly. I've been listening to Rammstein casually since Mutter came out but didn't start turning into a hardcore fan until I started studying German last year and thought some Rammstein would help the process. So I picked up the Reise, Reise and Rosenrot. I had heard the singles from Reise, Reise when it came out but not the full album. Understanding the lyrics with the help of the amazing translation section of Affenknecht and my German dictionary; I fell in love with the lyrics. The symbolism and the imagery speaks to you in a powerful voice. I shed a tear listening to Dali Lama after I fully understood the words and wondered why this wasn't a sure single instead of Keine Lust or Amerika, even though I like these two songs but couldn't help but imagine how thrilling a Dali Lama video would have been.
                    I loved some songs on Rosenrot. I dunno if we have any Metallica fans here but Reise, Reise and Rosenrot are very similar in nature to Load and Reload. One year apart in release and the second one is filled with "filler" songs because it was made up generally of left over tracks from the first album's recording sessions. I repeat though; I totally love at least 4 tracks on Rosenrot.
                    Picked up LIFAD a few month ago but I don't wanna make this a long read so I'll write about it some other time.
                    Well, here I'm now joining the hardcore fans on their message board hehe

                    • Are you sure???? One day we'll be banned because we destroy all the topics. There are examples everywhere.

                      Mutter, my first album too. Someone gave to me a copy and after Mein herz brennt my heart was burning like every cell of my body...I don't know how many times i listened to it, that copy doesn't work in every player now, but it shares the box of the original one I bought later, it's special for me.

                      You didn't mention Sehnsucht and Herzeleid....

                      There are at least two LIFAD threads... take a look.

                      • It's very awesome that you still have that CD and hold it special to you.
                        Sehnsucht and Herzeleid are a complicated issue for me. First time I checked them out was through their music videos, I know I'm supposed to like Engel and Du Hast for some reason they're considered Rammstein trade mark songs but I really don't find them that impressive.
                        Musically both albums are not the same Rammstein I came to know from Mutter onward, they're far less melodic and much more industrial and repetitive for my taste. But I can combine them both and get rid of some songs to make one decent CD that still won't be better than anything that came after Mutter.
                        I'll check out the LIFAD thread.
