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.

      • oooops, I made a little mistake with the verb but no problem, he didn't notice : )

        Here we say "From love to hate, there's only one step" don't think he could change but if as you say you do, maybe early you'll listen one more song

            .... song .... I understood you were talking about LIFAD album (so only listening to the first two "songs"), but now I realize you were talking about the first two albums.

              • I really like LIFAD, the only tracks I am not keen on are Liese and Mehr. I don't think it is their best album but it certainly isn't a bad one. I do love the way that Pussy freaks some people out, it makes me laugh. Those guys have a good sense of humour and they were having fun with this album quite a bit I think. They don't take themselves too seriously and that is a good thing.

                • ^I don't think it was a matter of not taking themselfs seriously, but rather a matter of "We have been on a 6 months hiatus and took ages to come up with a mediocre album. We are also in a midlife crises. How the fuck are we going to attract attention to us, and start making some money with the bland material that we came up with?"
                  "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 can't agree with that. I think they care about what they do and have too much integrity to suddenly turn into money hungry assholes who stopped caring about their art. It is good to shake people up sometimes and this certainly shook up a lot of fans. I like people who do that from time to time.

                    Maybe MiG was forced on them by the record label, they do like 'greatest hits' albums.

                    • ^Yeah, the label was naging the band for quite some time about a best of album. But they did got a little hungry for money. Might not "Metallica like" hungry, but still...

                      • Eesh, if they ever got like Metallica with blatant greed and lack of respect there would have to be some serious spanking...

                        Those guys really are assholes.

                        Comment


                        • ^Now there's something we can both agree on ^^

                          • Welcome to the year 2000! Have you seen MI:2 yet?! I hear they're coming out with a Spiderman movie next year!
                            Metallica have been behaving like their old selves for at least 5 years now, the Napster greed shtik is long gone.
                            Don't get me wrong I'm against Metallica for a bunch of other things but I long grew past the "I hate greedy bands that sell out" phase. Everybody is greedy and wants to sell out, and if the band doesn't then the record company does. And they have the upper hand.

                            • Well you are not wrong about greedy record labels, I will give you that! Times have moved on a lot from then and the music industry has changed beyond all recognition but the record labels are starting to lose their grip now and many bands are waking up to that. Don't get me started on bands like Metallica, lol, they are dinosaurs in a changing world and they have no respect for art.
