What I want to know is, is this serious? Are they or can they ask me for money?

I thought you could use songs as long as they were not in a profit making scheme.

James Hyland atctally made the vid, who would be to blame if it went tits up?

Cheers

Ali

Sounds like theyre just making use of the advertiding opportunity, nowhere does it say to remove the content or you'll be charged a sum of money so i wouldnt worry about that. And you'd be to blame if anything did happen, as it's technically you whos broadcasting the material.

I had this message for one of my videos on YouTube, just a personal trials video not promoting anything.

I just credited it in the description of my video and heard no more.

The artist I used was HIM, and the email message said "UMG", I checked their record label and it was not UMG or any of its sub-groups so I found it a bit bull really.

cool, cheers guys, thats what I thought, but my mum wanted me to take off all my vids incase they sued me or somthing :S

They can't sue you. Well, they could, but it wouldn't be worth the hassle. They're just having a 'power issue' at the moment, they can't control the piracy etc, so looking for an even easier target. They'll be bored before too long, and start trying to sue you for singing a song in your head... :giggle:

Had a chat with a few people last night about this as they'd received emails on the matter.

If you use re-mix's which haven't been released, just been done for fun - they have no say on the matter.

Think the same could go if you speed up/slow down and cut up a track dramatically.

Seeing as he knows why I can't get photos at the moment, and I did explain to people - that makes you look like a dick :):rolleyes:

Seeing as I also know why you can't get photos at the moment, and saw your explaination - you ARE a dick. :rolleyes::P
