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 actually love LIFAD, to be honest, but it is probably my least favourite album, especially after listening to it straight after sehnsucht
    But everybody else seems to hate the album, as well as Rosenrot

    @MBL, I also love FIP, think the music is amazing

    LIFAD's not bad, it's just different (needs some time to get used to it). I personally love it, especially live! BTW, I can't think about any Ramm song which I don't like (they're the only band I adore that much), so I'm a bit biased.

    Well, LIFAD isn't that bad actually, I could consider it my least favorite album, but I'm not going as far as bash it, and call every song terrible, because it has some great songs. And am I the only one who likes FIP, I think it's one of their best ballads.

    I think LIFAD is pretty ok album. ITDW is best song.

    Totally agree with you. It is terrible in same way than Stirb Nicht Vor Mir. Mutter is sole good slow song.

    ^I can't speak for everybody else, but I can speak for myself: I really don't mind what you are saying, and in fact I like it. I personally am a huge Mutter fan, but I can completely accept and understand that you consider Herzeleid the better album, followed by Sehnsucht.

    And I'm glad to know I'm not alone regarding LIFAD.

    I must say, I agree with Snake. LIFAD is terribly overrated, and I personally am content with only a few of the songs such as Ich Tu Dir Weh. All the other albums (except maybe Rosenrot) seem like they have a lot of work put into them, unlike LIFAD. The songs are barely catchy at all...and quickly become boring...
    For me, the albums have a detrimental effect starting from Herzeleid (i.e. my favourite is the 1st album, 2nd favourite is Sehnsucht, and down on last place is LIFAD - sorry to all the Mutter/Reise/Rosenrot fans if this offends you!). It seems that the band is losing its originality and that abillity to amaze the crowds that they had half a decade ago, but heck, that's just my opinion.
    I think it's a shame that most people that feel the same don't express it out to the public as they are afraid of being proven wrong, or are just in the minority...
    And I also agree on that their bonus tracks of LIFAD would have improved the average 'reputation' of the latest album maybe just a little bit.
    I would describe the album as 'failure' (Again sorry to fans of LIFAD) as it took a huge break of 4 years to produce, only to disappointment of some.

    Hope noone minds me saying this? *insert nervous face*

    Insane behavior is to burn the ticket and scratch all the CDs - just an advise for future cases
