Are Fan Edits & Fan Content Really Coming To An End As Manual Hands Take Over Content In Groups?

Are Fan Edits Really Coming To An End?, Is The System That Strapped For Cash They Would Rather Ban In The Hopes Of Sales?

Over the years youtubes been fraught with claims, strikes, inconsistencies and legal battles all over the world and after some dealings it now seams that companies are also hiring staff to "Manually Search"  youtube for content.

A lot of editors would manipulate footage, reduce scenes, alter aspect ratio and FPS to get past googles content ID system, but in todays day and age companies really are paying people to go and look for content. So how ever much you alter it, the moment you throw it out there, be it with a bogus "Video Title"  then post it in the fan base its about.. someones right onto it.

These people are on your blogs, your forums, your facebook pages and groups, places you set up for Fans. Its always been bad that the scum cash sucking creeps hang out trying to scam fans of things with bogus merchandise and over priced collectables, but now we have to deal with companies invading communities to find links to stuff they can either earn off or BAN?

The one that gets me the most is Universal Studios (they tend to hide behind  NBC, CBS CID and another number of Network and Publishing rights) they are happy to leave your video on line as long as they are the only one earning off it. IE if the video has 2 claims, they block it. Not only that but you get a strike on your account until you remove it.

A strike = the inability to upload videos over 15 minuets, it also disables any videos you have already over 15 minuets, in turn if after 60 days if the strike is still in place then all videos over 15 minuets are removed from your account.. Regardless of if they even have claims on or not...

Ive seen some things since ive been on line, im sure we all have.. But as a fan of things and a creator too i have bear whiteness to the mindless plotting of NBC and the likes of MGM as they devastated most Stargate communities over being at number 1 on google for something they then chose to never release to fans (mgm did that twice to thousands of content creators over games that were never even released)

Ive always had my stalkers on line, constantly trying to scuttle projects and ideas, making accusations, pointing fingers, they always hide from you and you never really know who they are. When you add them kinda headaches to the usual life problems you encounter from companies that fail to do what you pay them for then add the ebay sharks and these you content searchers.. Well fan based content for anything seams doomed...

I always thought that anything that promoted something, brought in a crowed, made something old and barely earning now worthy of conversation.. Hell airwolf got remastered after all these years... and NBC forget why they had Figures, Stats that said yeah... its finally worth re-issuing this series... now lets ban everything we can  (that helped Build that fan base back up after 20+ years of nothing official for fans)  Studios, Companies, Rights Holders,  need to understand something that should be pretty obvious already... when you tear a fan base apart, ban the best kinda promotional material you'll ever see.... why not just release a movie and shoot everyone outside the cinema before they even pay?..  you guys are killing off your actual Audience  : /

Ive seen my edits fall, but today i see others on there way out too

He has a mere 2 videos left....

What's more sickening is when people ask about "Missing Things".. the classic Post a link  (thats dead) using one bogus fb account..  saying "anyone got a link or a copy of this?"     then they make a comment with something as simple as  "ive inboxed you"  then that account gets a stack of messages saying (can you send it to me to)   Then comes the reply with a $ or £ sign to get it in the mail on disk..    People selling fan made content  (and they can, and people will buy it)  simply because its no longer online ad people are asking  : /

I have a couple of Airwolf videos left my self, one is Airwolf vs FireFox, it survived for years because the Audio and Visual quality is Very Low... the content ID system has no chance to detect it...

Manually Detected

It's clear someone at Warner Brothers is paying to have interns searching the web for fan made stuff, so are lionsgate and many others (when NBC start paying people)  AwVsFireFox will be deleted because at the moment NBC wont share ad rev

Another tactic now (to get more ownership) is to claim your using Content from a DVD and Also the Bluray..  so you get two claims for the exact same content. You can see here that also the Immediate Music claim and the Globus claim (are kinda Valid)   but clearly the music either belongs to immediate music OR globus (as a company rights holder)  The video doesn't contain Both works.. one has words, one does not..

But what gets me about this is the amount of claims for the VISUAL CONTENT
Like its visual stolen from Betamax, VHS, DVD and Bluray (yet the same thing) wtf  pmsfl
Each publishing company (sub division.. 3rd party, them Initials) its like getting multiple claims off  Fox, 20th Century Fox, Fox Network, Fox Channel for 1 single thing.. are none of them even working together? 

In turn with the amount of fingers in that Pie the video is yet still available World Wide, but will Not play on some devices. maybe those with an ad blocker or even as cheeky as those with location services switched off.. who knows?

That said do they have a right to know the audience their content is reaching?.. wont that lead them to the private groups that share stuff they make? Are creative fans really supposed to now hide? you can't hide, even when ya nice you'll still get trolls.. it all makes it simply not worth the effort at all to do any fan kinda content.

The reality is that the creators are doing more these days than the original thing often ever was, why don't they get on board with the fans who bring them business.. i have no idea.

Ive run several tests in the last few years, ive spoken to several companies and from what i can see its all on a loop with small changes and nothing positive.. everyone wants their cut and yet wont share...

Look at it this way, NBC at some stage will block the firefox video while WMG would be willing to share.. granted the majority of viewers where Airwolf fans.. but without firefox the video wouldn't be...
as its always been about New Unseen that requires Collaboration of content, thats not piracy, its creativity & 100% free marketing that also earns money for the original owners...

The System Needs A Face...
 and this new ad's based on what ever it is that's been implemented is an invasion of privacy and why the firefox web browser now stops bloggers earning ad revenue by default because the ad's are invasive. I don't eevn allow adsense to use "repsonsive" advertising on my blog because its an invasion of your privacy and mine while im here... yet all ad's are blocked :(

I remember when the net had images bigger clearer than the current fuzzy postage stamp sizes, when people had fan sites and the world as a whole was creative.. These days its all memes asking you for personal info to the stage of phishing right on a news feed, then theirs them videos with a playbutton that don't play.. yet open a page with a YT video..... why do people not just share the video?

Its like the guy said in a movie i wont name because my blog might get banned for referencing a phrase... but the guy said...
Operator Dead.. Post Abandoned...

ps
Apparently my first grade teacher is lookin for 87 Billion for every word she taught me that ive been using all these years without giving her royalties...
NO NOT REALLY...  ffs   pmsfl.. but this is just what im on about... the lengths some will go too

Rather Disappointing And Things Have To Change

It's rather disappointing to say this and things must change i am afraid...
(THIS POST IS A PUBLIC WORK IN PROGRESS & WILL BE EDITED)

Its been 4 months since sales went global on iTunes, Amazon, GooglePlay and Spotify, clearly i bootlegged my own first 3 albums on a couple of very popular russian soundtrack forums (yet that's not the stuff being used and abused)  And after 4 months i now have enough statistics to see the sales results "which are actually zero besides test purchases i had done to see if it was legitimate & it is"  So besides older reverbnation sales, no one is buying my material... That said i am hearing a lot of it being used on youtube...

I want you guys to ber in mind how dead set i have always been against using music publishing & causing legal headaches, i also want people to ber in mind i even created a new youtube with "Subscribe Only"  and over 400 pieces of music for use in your movies (that has gained zero subscribers, besides MANY people using the free 14 day trial to download tracks with a grabber then canceling the subscription before the 14 days end) This IS Music that i am hearing in youtube videos, yet those tracks have never sold, nor has anyone paid the $2.99 for the access and downloads they had.

People are also using the music i upload to my TheWraith517 channel and my Soundcloud and Reverbnation pages and i am gaining nothing (which in moral land that doesn't actually bother me.... Except for one massive problem)  People are making actual money off videos with my music in while i am making nothing, and haven't even asked me for permission "besides 2 people"  who i said yes to btw and offered them the 320kbs mp3's to work with... Ive done my best to make my stuff the cheapest their is around, the most diverse stuff ever made (by one musician) score, trailer, songs, drones, sfx, fillers... And folks are sadly kinda taking the pi... with my generosity...

Now some are indirectly making companies money (and making nothing them selves) This is something i am trying really hard to change.. because I AM MORAL!!!!  They are earning a company money off their video because someone else's music is in the video (so they can't make ANYTHING from that upload)
But i could... AND I COULD SHARE IT WITH THE UPLOADER.....
maybe you've seen that "is this a cover, you may still monetise this video" that pops up sometimes on your uploads...

Others have just directly monetised the video (with my music in) and are earning money off it because youtube has no fingerprint of that work (tunecore have had finger prints from the beginning to protect my work) Only revenue is not enabled on any track at all, their just uploaded/printed through sentric to save anyone stealing my work.
With my works now scattered around iTunes, amazons servers, spotify and googleplay, i do have the power to enable it and back up my legal claims to my work when people attempt to dispute it....

I Am Entering a music publishing deal, something i have tried my damnedest to avoid since i began, but ive clearly been left no choice by people on youtube and daily motion. This however "could" be in your interest if you have videos you CAN'T monetise because of a 3rd party...  See as a share holder in your upload (if it has my music in it) i have a legal say in the content, that allows me to let you earn from it using a 3rd party site called audiam, this is something these other company's "whose work you used, WONT let you"  now they just lay claim on the video and your left in limbo then with an "acknowledged claim" on the video...

But what if you could acknowledge the claim and earn money?  I mean come on.. if you spend an hour working on a video then loose all rights to it because it has a piece of movie music in the video or a piece of movie  or tv footage & they lay claim to it.. i mean you'd never dream of monetising that anyway would u?  But what if you could?  What if you could earn money from a "Mash Up" ??

If my musics in that video somewhere, then i am willing to split the add rev content with the video uploader, note the more 3rd party stuff you use, the less we all get unless views go viral ...   (BUT) "IF YOU" have already monetised the video it'll go to a claim you must acknowledge and will no longer be monetised. Then to make money from the video you will have to sign up on a site and give them the name of the track and the URL to your upload  (unless you have contacted me and asked me directly about licensing a specific track, then you where warned from day one that things will change down the line)  NOTE that the company i am using is in its infancy but is run by two people who founded a very big site, so this is a reputable team. So for now you can't really earn anything with your adsense and my music (unless you licensed the track from me, and no one ever has)

NOTE in reference to the 2 people i allowed usage of my tracks (those tracks haven't been uploaded to audiam, and i will chat about white-listing their videos down the line WAY BEFORE i even consider uploading those tracks) but note they are still a favor, no legal contracts where given and also note that one of the people who did ask permission and was granted it "did in fact upload the video 4 days before they where replied to with permission"  I hold all the cards here

I WILL edit this post and announce when the "earn off my music" is available...


if you upload content that contains even 1% of your own material or even ya fkn time spent making it,,, you should be able to earn off it (if other fkrs are) right?

Also remember.... when you have kids and you don't own something like facebook.. you try to leave an Earner behind.. rather than a set amount.....
This is an opportunity i am going to give users of my music.. and you should ber in mind..
i don't actually have to.. i am choosing to...
