Shane Dawson Censored by Sony!

I`m more then sure this hole thing would have worked out in a different way if he had actually picked up the Phone and worked out something before (like he did in the past with some other Company!) he had actually put up the Video on his Channel and clearly p****d of not only some Execs at Sony but probably also at Swift Music Label too.

I hope he does realize through the hole upcoming days what went wrong and who he has to blame for it.

About that BANNED Video: I won`t even start talking about what I think about him about his Sony/Terrorist Comment since he will probably realize by tomorrow on his own when the Alcohol will drop out of this brain to a normal Level how dumb it was, specially at a time like this to even use the term to make fun out of Sony.

Again Christmas or the Holidays seem to be generally a timeframe where some folks seem to either have a drinking problem and/or stop thinking about who they should blame for a mistake.

Overall I am more then sure that Shane will get back on his feet and that he will sooner then later realize at what point something went wrong and avoid doing the same mistakes a second time.

Note:

What makes the hole thing even more crazy is that a second of his Channel was shut down and then reopen again that at least as far as I know didn`t had that Video on it which makes it even more crazy since as everyone know already one Strike like for that Parody won`t shut down your Channel or any other of your Channels at all so I am wondering what else might be wrong running with him at the current moment.
 
Well, well, who knows, all might come to an end one day, and that might be copyrights striking ing!
 
There are a lot of threads to follow on this debacle, but I think one very important question is "Is this legally defensible as parody?"

To be protected in the US, the derivative work needs to somehow comment on the original, and I don't see that in Shane's video. It's more "imitation" then "parody".



The reality is a LOT of similar "parody" videos exist by rights-holders' good graces and a lot of hard negotiating by YouTube. YTers are lucky this isn't a more frequent thing.


Imitation is the reason why these YouTube hacks are number 1.
 
I noticed that many people who can not sing make covers of very popular songs and label them "parody" obviously with the main purpose to extract substantial financial profit from YouTube. I do not know if this is the case with Shane Dawson but clearly this will be decided in the court.
 
I've done WAY worse videos with Shane. People seem to really pick and choose what is offensive and what to censor.

I agree with this post, I have not done any video's with shane but people are very selective on what is offensive and it's very strange how things such as this happen in our society!
 
Meanwhile sony is stealing songs themselves :giggle:

Yoon Mi Rae has revealed that the Hollywood film “The Interview” used her song without permission, and that she will be taking legal action.

Yoon Mi Rae’s agency, Feel Ghood Music, said on December 26 that “There were initial discussions for using ‘Pay Day‘ in the movie, but at some point, the discussions ceased and we assumed that it would not follow through. However, after the movie was released, we learned that the track had been used without permission, legal procedure, or contracts.”
