someone posting a video of their kid's birthday party would be subject to getting a letter (thanks to the fact that "Happy Birthday" remains copyrighted because of the absurd extension of copyright that Disney and the Bonos pushed for.) I wonder if THAT's happened yet...

It's always a pleasure to see an entity destroy fan-made homages.
I dare presume that the RIAA and MPAA simply do not want "fans" or customers. |

| You owe us
Soon the RIAA/MPAA is going to try and bill us if we happen to hear/see copyrighted material being played in someone else’s (insert audio/vidio playing device here).
They will expect everyone to wear earplugs/eye covers 24x7 in order to avoid being prosecuted for illegally listening to copyrighted material.
Then they will shove tubes down our throat, directly interface to our brain, and plunge us into bathtubs full of thermal collecting goop, while we slip into a virtual world of their design, and control.
Ok so maybe not that last part just yet. |

They are serously going beyond here. I can see the P2P network sharing of copyright content, but through videos? This is starting to get serously disgusting...

Re: You owe us
No they will force you to declare the situations in which you want to play music at any time and estimate how many people will be able to hear it. Then make you pay a fee for every person. So listening with head phones will be a couple of bucks , and listening on a boom box at the beach will cost a few thousand dollars. |

| Seem to be going too far here
Yea, I do agree they seem to be going too far here. I do understand how things are copyrighted, but to punish people using a medium to express their love for a paticular song is pretty rediculous. Especially since its a medium where you can not download any of the content (its in a somewhat protected format)....and the fact that it isnt being sold either. They are just trying to alienate everyone. |

"Project Opus claims the warnings are even being applied to videos of amateur dancers who are getting their groove on to copyrighted music."

Due to all of the publicity, 90% of internet users now know exactly where to get their free music.
Why don't we ever hear the RIAA talk about Usenet?
I presume that because of the RIAA a London UK radio station that I used to listen to Heart 102.6 has stopped broadcasting to USA IP addresses. Personally I feel quite disgusted about that situation. If I was stinking rich I might feel like starting a law suit over the situation. Listening to a radio staion over the internet is not even closely related to selling or trading songs on the internet. My listening is not reducing royalty to any artist by 1 cent.
Radio waves (at least short wave) reach the USA from all sorts of other countries so maybe the RIAA will get foreign stations to reduce their power if their radio waves are reaching the USA |

| my RIAA rant
The RIAA seems to forget that amateurs dancing to copyrighted music is perfectly legal, under fair use laws. The amateurs in question are not SELLING their videos and trying to make a profit, so therefore the RIAA legally can not do anything about it. This would change if the dancers had an ad at the end of their video promoting their pay site or whatever, that would then be a violation of copyright law.
Of course when you have Congress in your pocket, you can pretty well do whatever you want, regardless of what the Constitution says... |
