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.

    Ah, there's the Snake we love.

    And if you sell nothing, how can you be a sellout?

    Almost. So very close to a real conversation.

    • ^I would if I sold my merch, which I can't, as I already explained.

After all, nothing is better than eternal happiness, and a ham sandwich is certainly better than nothing. Therefore a ham sandwich is better than eternal happiness."

      • ^Well then, you aren't a sellout, Dodge probably doesn't really care, and Batman is crying. And I find myself without shirts from Flake, Snake, Eisbrecher, and Emigrate. The evening is unchanged.

        Also, my research for the night is completely nill.

        I can't tell you to just make a new design. If you don't have it in there, then it won't come out. If you are happy with your art and it happened to coincide with a major corporations art...well, better that you had been their designer, but failing that, why limit yourself? Create something new. I find it hard to believe that one design is your be all and end all.

        • ^As I also told you, my art is not on my avatar, is it on ABT. Pretty much like Rammstein art does not revolve around their logo.

          • Well, I'm not sure I understand what you mean by ABT, but if you mean your art is running around the internet acting the troll, then...well I suppose it will eventually be considered an art form. Someday, I may even see the connection.

            • ^Go watch the pivotal scene with Alec Baldwin in Glengarry Glen Ross, and you will understand what ABT is.

              • Complete English translation of Berliner Zeitung article by Rammstein USA http://www.rammstein.us/archives/11854

                He had so much fun writing the book, that he now would like to write a Rammstein book, “But I haven’t figured out how to bring together the views of all the musicians.”
                Would you like to read it?

                  I'm not quite sure, he doesn't seem to have taken any active steps to be involved. Most things in his life seems to have "happened" to him, because others made decisions or took actions? Of course I haven't read the current book yet, this is just what I gleamed interviews he has given over the years.

                  • ^You are talking about the article, aren't you? I think you bought the book so I don't think you won't read it.

                    I should change my previous post, the question was about the Rammstein book.

                        I were answering about the Rammstein book, That's the one I'm not sure I want to read. If some-one else in the band wrote about the band, I know I would be more interested.

                          Ahhhhh. He said he haven’t figured out how to bring together the views of all the musicians. So it wouldn't be only his point of view, it would be a mix.

                          • ^ Atleast two (maybe even more) live DVDs and one official documentary. Plus maybe an unauthorized documentary (the Carl G. Hardt movie). In addition a two year (maybe even longer) hiatus.

                            I think I speak for a lot of us, if I say that most of us want a new album or tour, instead of more "best of" and "remember the old days?" products. That being said, I wouldn't refuse to buy a book. However in my opinion a book is more of a "near end of career"-thing. Let's just wait another ten years for that please .

                                I believe you do speak for most of us, but I am one of the oddballs that prefers that they do a best of tour in lieu of a tour presenting a new album. I don't have high hopes that I will actually like their new material, which would surely comprise most of the setlist they bring on to concerts. Since I probably won't like the new songs, I would enjoy the tour more because I could see them live again rather than because of the album.
