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.

    To me watching Till kick through the wall at the opening of the Birmingham gig as they burst into Rammlied was how I felt when I first played it. It was an absolute kick in the face but in a good way. From the first slam of the guitars to the thundering finish I was hooked. However, I do understand that you can't like everything. For instance, I love some of the albums Mike Oldfield, (some members may need to consult their history teacher), has produced over the years, but there are several abums by him that I utterly loath because they just sound awful to me. One of his more recent albums, Light & Shade, was truly god awfull, having been made with the programme 'Fruity Loops' and in my opinion he sodded off down to the pub and let the programme make the album for him! You still owe me £14.95 for that pile of shit Oldfield you fucking twat!
    I'm a member of a Mike Oldfield forum and I'm treated as something of a heretic because of my non fanboy views, but like Snake I'm entitled to my opinion.

    I love LIFAD but not everyone is going to.

      ^Now there somebody who understands me in this forum ^^
      "Which is better, eternal happiness or a ham sandwich? It would appear that eternal happiness is better, but this is really not so! 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."

        I don't think there are many people who are fans of both R+ and Mike Oldfield XD

          True, but then I also like Arch Enemy and Steve Harley. Steve's another relic from my past. My musical tastes are quite eclectic to be honest.

              When I read this bit (just browsing the forum and whatnot), I couldn't help but be reminded of one of the other forums I frequent. There are a lot of fangirls/fanboys there who do that sort of thing. UGH.

                If a schizophrenic listens to the voice in their head, does that count as self-brainwashing?

                  It could, if you really thought about it, but I don't think it would techincally count, just because that's kinda out of their control.

                        In this places, you never know who is in front of you...

                        Hope your head is in a confused state, but without listening any other voices except your own. There are other bad symptoms but that is very bad

                          I think the biggest problem is the fact that all the voices are my own....driving myself to insanity

                            Different personalities??? If you can´t control that, maybe you should consider searching for help."Driving myself to insanity" sounds bad.

                                That sounds bad too.. you should do something to change that.

                                Maybe we should move to other thread. (What´s on your mind or similar)
