No you arent. You're promoting your editing skills/reviews.

definition of promote.

To attempt to sell or popularize by advertising or publicity: commercials promoting a new product.


If there footage is in the video , its promoting there movie.
If there product is in the video , its promoting there statue , figure whatever.
They take the videos down because it has footage of there movie.

If there company was 10 million times smaller they would kill to have this type of publicity. Its selfish to there fans.

Is it stupid? That's a matter of perspective. To someone who doesn't own an intellectual property, yes. To those of us who value what we create, no. Is it selfish? Wanting to control something you own, isn't. Wanting free reign over something without paying for it, well, you be the judge.

Sadly CelticP, I think it's irrelevant and a losing battle. Some of the posts here further prove the diminishing of a respectable society into what I call the entitlement generation. How can you hold someone accountable for their own actions in a society like this? They'll just counter with calling everyone greedy and self serving when the very definition fits their head like a golden crown :(
 
theres a big difference in the things you said.

FOX ISN'T A PERSON , I CAN'T USE ITS TOOTHBRUSH.
FOX IS A COMPANY , I AM USING ITS VIDEOS TO PROMOTE ITS ITEMS.
I DON'T HAVE THERE PERMISSION , I KNOW THIS.
THEY TAKE THE VIDEO DOWN.
I WAS PROMOTING THERE ITEMS FOR FREE.

WHAT IS THE POINT IN TAKING IT DOWN ?.
REGARDLESS OF WHETER ITS LEGAL OR NOT ?

There is no point They just got nothing better to do than to pay some guy to watch a crapload of YT videos. simple.
 
I think were arguing over nothing here since were both trying to prove points that we already know.
Me and solidsnake are doing something illegal , there a millions of peolple doing this illegal online .
It wont be stopped , its not possible.
If this isn't possible , we are promoting there items , movies , whatever and writing in the description who they belong too why take it down.

It is the law but its pointless , they can't stop it fully.
There paying towards a pointless cause that can only really possibly loose them money unless its the full movie which I understand being took down.
 
Yeah FOX SUCKS!!! But a copyright is a copyright. A friend of mine owned a comic book shop. When he had business cards made he put a Michael Keeton Batman picture on the cards. Now this is not a chain store. It's a small one shop operation, but WB came in and took all the cards and warned him to never do it again. We were amazed they even knew he was there

Fox still sucks on so many levels. They cancelled Firefly. They won't release the rights to market any Firefly items.

I can look on youtube now and find thousands of videos with there stuff , youtube can't be controlled fully. All we are doing is promoting there stuff.
If its there property or not they can't control it.
With a company so big you would think they could but they can't , its not possible. If we are promoting there stuff for free and writing that it belongs to them its perfectly fine in my eyes and can only help them but they still insist on taking it down.
Why ?. Becuase it theres ?. What do they expect when they make such great movies.


" Oh , Tay did you see that movie , its awesome right ?!! ".

" Yeah its great , but shhh , if you speak about it we will be arrested. "

This LAW is retarded.

Now THAT I can agree with! :lol A perfectly legal and reasonable explanation of why they suck. They also canceled Family Guy before fan outrage made them bring it back and they nearly canceled Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles and that's really the only show I watch on Fox.

there we go. Regardless of the laws and the different views on them they do suck on so many levels as a company and they treat there fans like crap.

Yes it is. But its still the law. So....

And that example is bad. You are using things that arent yours. The video, the music, it isnt yours. No matter what your intentions are.

Thats never ever going to change. They treat everyone like crap. Directors, actors, fans, Fox is an awful company.
 
You are not using vids to promote it's films. You're using their videos to promote your reviews.


You can GUARANTEE FOX has made some money off people who have watched his vids, and said, "Damn Ive never seen that movie" and either bought it in the craptastic bargain bin at Wally-World, or rented it.

And he used the video to promote the sideshow item, not his video.
I have sat beside him while making these vids, and he isnt sitting there laughing like Beavis n Butthead..."HUHUHU, these videos are gonna make ME look so cool..HUHUHU"
No, he does it cuz he is a movie fan, and a Sideshow fan, PERIOD, and having something taken down because of some Lame copyright infringement law that obviously does nothing to deter any sort of black market activities where people are actually profiting off it is even more lame.

Hes not making a dime off it, not hurting anybody by doing it, and you copy and pasting copyright drivel we ALL know and have ALL skipped over in every movie we have watched doesnt help anything either.
It all comes down to the dollar, theyre afraid hes profiting off it, and hes not.

Im sure if he stood in Times Square with an Alien Dio and an Alien DVD shouting "look at this awesome stuff here!" they would be clicking their heels with joy, but "Oh NOEZ! our stuff is on Youtube where MILLIONS of people can see our product, for free! Lets shut that down!" is their kneejerk reaction.

They should be happy someone is actually promoting their movie, it wasnt that great anyways, milk it for a few more bucks....
 
Well, I just read everything in this thread.
