Re: Las Vegas to London by DJ Ashba
What was the audio of anyway? live, studio? old, new?
Studio version of Chinese Democracy. Which i guess to sync that you'd need aproval from the owner of the recordings (prob the record label) along with all song writers. So maybe someone forgot to call up Josh Freese.:haha:

YouTube is a bigger clusterfuck than Axl.
So in this case, he does get the benefit of the doubt. Either way, it's not that important. DJ didn't say much, and the reason the music was there to begin with was to move the video along. It's just nice to see some behind the scenes footage of the band.
FYI, all that was played was snippets of CD & Shackler's. Big fuckin' deal.

Did they get the rights to the Blur and Madonna songs they played as well? Quite an array of songs in that video.

Yeah actually that could have been the problem...although those were background in the rooms being filmed and not synced directly...but maybe it was enough to piss off whoever owns them.
Re: Las Vegas to London by DJ Ashba
I have never understood youtube pulling stuff like that (artists getting them to pull it). It's free promo and for songs that are already out there. I dont' get it, I mean it's usually crap quality streaming audio so where is the harm in it? Surely there can't be any negative effects only potential positives from it.
More people are being exposed to your music, even old stuff that's been out for years.

Well, you need to have some guidelines on the subject.
Some, not many, but some youtubers actually make some money off of their videos. Should they then be allowed to use whatever music they like for free?
Should James Cameron feel free to put whatever original recording in his movies without paying the artists, with the argument "Hey, it's free promotion for you!"
Because that would be even a bigger promotion than a youtube-video, right?
Then you can say, "well James Cameron is not the same as a 16 year old in his parents basement making another Unboxing the new iPod-video".
But where should youtube/copyright holders draw the line? It's not easy. So that's prolly why they say "These are the rules and they apply to EVERYBODY!"
I think I read somewhere that even Darren Aronofsky or the producers of The Wrestler had to pay a "small fee" (paperwork) of $20'000 for the use of Sweet Child 'O Mine. Even though Axl gave them the song for "free".
But as far as the DJ-video goes, that shit is pure comedy! Regardless if he had all the necessary approvals!

Re: Las Vegas to London by DJ Ashba
I thought there was some kind of loophole in stereo/radio songs on stuff like that?
I mean come on, how many amateur YouTube geeks post videos of their opinions with background music.
I posted one of my cat with beyonce on radio in background and it got their 'attention'
