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 words, so sad

      You can recognize him in photos like the one above.

        Should I be in shock that he's actually posted a photo? Because I am a little bit...

          ^No, because the photo I posted has been online for ages. It is even in my FB profile.

              ^Fortunately I am not tagged in those, and I'm not wearing my merch.

                  It is not a bad photo. How long ago was it? I don't think I even know how old everyone is. :P

                  So, you have merch that you don't sell and you whore your t-shirts. We should really talk about priorities sometime...

                    ^IIRC, it was taken in 2007, back when facebook was not sinonimous with internet. The guy who took it wanted to pass it around and asked my permission to share it. Since I was out of focus, I gave permission.

                    • Ok, so based on my (somewhat inebriated) judgement, you are probably around my age. I will admit I haven't gone digging thru your facebook profile looking for photos, mostly because I figured you had a reason for not posting them.

                      I like the snake in your profile pic better, and if you ever felt like selling merch again, my husband is crazy about Cobra and I'd probably buy a t-shirt of yours for him. That I would totally wear as well.

                      • ^The thing is, I am pretty sure I would get in trouble for selling my merch, because the company that produces this car would probably acuse me of trademark infrigment:

                        • Ah. Well, perhaps it is time to design a new snake? Or make it different enough that they can't? To trademark a snake would be a difficult thing, as there are only so many ways to draw one. Unless you directly ripped it from Dodge of course...

                          • ^I actually tried that once, but the result was a disaster. Besides, I would never make much money off of it. Not to mention that the drawing is already adjusted enough to my own liking, even if it still reseambles the original.

                            • Have you looked at something like Custom Ink? Not sure if they are a US company only, but I know my son made himself a t-shirt that said Camp Half Blood a year or so ago during his Percy Jackson obsession when he decided he was a demi-god..but I digress.

                              You could probably find somewhere that will make stuff for you on a small scale, even if it is something that resembles a trademarked image. Because differences and stuff. Really I guess it comes down to what you want to do with your art.

                              • ^My art is not on my avatar, my art is in my trolling, which is impossible to monetize. Besides, I don't want to be called a sellout.
