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.

    I went through the reviews and they are incredibly harsh to the point where you feel these guys were really wishing for a bad album from Rammstein and they were thrilled to get it.
    LIFAD is actually better than Rosenrot in my book. I enjoy listening to it. Now I admit it's of lesser quality than Mutter and Reise, Reise but by no means I'd listen to LIFAD and think "Oh they didn't put any effort here" or "There's no creativity on this record". A lot of good work was put into LIFAD is always my first thought when I listen to the album in it's entirety BUT it does feel like a certain vibe is missing from it. Something that was on Mutter and RR is not on LIFAD but to say that Rammstein released this album without believing it's as good as any other album they made is something I can't believe as they still maintain the same degree of quality control over every other aspect of their music which is the videos and the live performance.
    Also Pussy is a horrible representative for that album and it's the first thing that jumps in mind when you think of LIFAD and that was a bad judgement on their behalf. I would have chosen LIFAD (the song) as a single and made a kick ass video about stalking, masturbation and rape. At least there would be a story there lol

      ^Well, you can actually believe they released it without believing it to have the same quality than other. RZK said it himself to a Portuguese magazine that he couldn't see the beauty of that album. You can also notice how LIFAD only gets 2 songs on the setlist for MIG tour (which has 20 songs), and how more entusiastic the band is playing their older material.

      I do admit that I might go too far when bashing it, though. But trust me, I'm not the only one who sees LIFAD as a cash-in release.

          lol that's okay. But didn't RZK's comment and the set list thing come after they observed the negative reaction from the fans? And another question; when LIFAD was brand new did you hate it from the first listen?

          Comment

          • #440
            ^No, he gave that interview before their very first show here in Portugal, before they witnessed any reactions.

            And I hated LIFAD more when I first eard it than now. At least now I can tolerate B****** and I also find Weiner blut a little bit more intresting (but not much). I also eventually listened to the bonus CD, which has 3 very decent tracks.

              Were you against the idea of a "Greatest Hits" album?

              Comment

              • #442
                ^No, because they said that along with the greatest hits, they would go on tour. So I guessed that there was a huge chance that they would change the setlist for the shows, and offer the fans a decent setlist, that would manage to please everybody.

                And fortunately, I was right: the setlist is very good.

                    Snake I thought the set list of Made in Germany Tour which starts in February is something we didn't know about yet!
                    Maya That's one kick ass overall review of the band.

                      ^I was refering to the setlist for 2011, not for february/march. But for the upcoming shows the setlist is ought to be similar; they will most likely switch one of the current songs for mein land. Aside from that switch, I don't expect anything more changes.

                        Not long to wait now to find out, it seems much nearer now we are in 2012, which song do you suspect they may swop for Mein Land ?

                          ^During the first 2 rehearsal shows, they played mein land instead of Ohne Dich. Then came the third rehearsal show, and they switched ML for OD. Given the fact that there is already another ballad in the setlist (mutter), I believe it is likely that is OD that is going to be substituted by ML.

                          Of course, I'm most likely wrong, and they will drop some other song that I actually love, and I'm gonna get pissed off.

                            I really hope they do not drop OD but suppose it could be worse, no point surmising i suppose we will just have to wait and see

                              Point out the 2011 setlist to an Affenknecht newbie, I couldn't find it browsing the tour thread.
