Workin hard to get my fill...everyone just wants a thrill. I don't mean to get all whimsical on you on my first post but there it is. Actually, it's not all that whimsical. That's Don't stop Believing by Journey. Good words I think. I've been listening to that song a shit load lately ever since their performance at the Superbowl. Now I called this whole thing Cyanide, Sweet Tooth, Suicide. I realize it's a Shinedown song (and a good one) but I don't necessarily take it right from the song. I don't mind Shinedown but not enough to name my whole life or brand new shiny blog after it. I just think it's relevant to say that even if it is incoherent.
One thing that I need to bitch about (I'm sure there'll be alot of this) is the YouTube, WMG debacle. For those who don't know, which I'm sure is the normal part of the populous, WMG stands for Warner Music Group. The Warner Music Group owns the rights to, from what I've found out, a HUGE percentage of the music out there. As anyone who knows YouTube knows, other peoples music is a huge part of individual videos. By other peoples music I of course mean copyrighted music. I love YouTube for that. Now this wasn't a huge problemo about a month ago but recently, alot of my videos have been flagged for copyright infringement. In all of the dispute cases, i saw the same name at the top of the page. "Your Video, may have audio content that is owned or licenced by WMG". Now I'd like to get one thing straight. I'm using these songs in slide shows of my friends and what-not like that. I'm not using it for profitable gain or putting it on there so people can download the song instead of buying it. It's just on there cause the beats go with my pictures. That, however, is beside the point. WMG had an agreement with YouTube before where they would just slap advertisements on the video and take the profits from it. This was working just fine for awhile but now all of the sudden there has been a disagreement between YouTube and WMG. I'm not clear on all the details but I see this tirade of banning videos as WMG's "fuck you" to YouTube and the video uploaders are suffering.
I was having a conversation with my friend Kody earlier and we were talking about YouTube. I got a comment on one of my videos. I'm not sure exactly what it said but the gist of it was I was a retard, I suckled at life and I was a cocksucker. This would piss alot of people off and at first it pissed me off too. But then I thought about it for a second and started writing him back. I told him I love YouTube. I love it cause you can watch something that someone has obviously put work into and might not even be that bad and proceed to not only make fun of their video; but their family, their country, their sexuality and their mental state of mind. I love the power of Anonymity.
