Senators Want To Put People In Jail For Embedding YouTube Videos

reply to post by something wicked


i understand that people need to be paid for their labor. i'm not saying what he thinks i'm saying. what i'm saying is, the law makes it sound like linking to videos of any kind is potentially dangerous to your well being. how do you know if any part is copyrighted? news broadcasts? musical pieces. art work. sure, it helps the piece gain fans and potential customers, but as long as there are no jobs, potential customers will remain potential.

no no no, you even said, if the material gives the person notoreity. notoreity doesn't necessarily mean money. it could just mean people acknowledge that you know alot about a subject, for example, and to prove you do, you've linked to videos, art works, whatever. it's really dangerous territory you're treading on.

go back 30 years. you've just purchased an album by your favorite music group. you bring it home and everyone in the house gets to hear it, including any friends of yours

There is your flaw.

"Thirty (30) years ago" the internet did not stretch across the globe. When people were sharing music in the 70s, 80s, and 90s (also recording from the radio), the distance a cassette recording would go from its point of origin was only minute. BIG difference in scale.

Second, copyright infringement is about using someone's personal creation in a documentary, video, or anything else, without permission, and then gaining some type of notoriety from the act. Notoriety equals but not limited to online recognition and offline recognition.

Another form of infringement is to slap your logo on another person's piece of work, and then sell it with your brand name on another company's product. If you did your research on this topic, you would have found out that there is a major black market for this in China.

So... No, you really do not know what this topic is about.

online recognition,

do you realize how many people have linked to and embedded all manner of copyrighted material to support theories on this website? and how flexible the phrase "online recognition" is?

Stealing is stealing.

Even though a large amount of people are doing a specific action, the sudden influx does not suddenly turn an immoral act into a moral one. Imagine if a million people started to carry out acts of murder. Does that suddenly make murder legal and moral?

Interesting. Thanks for bringing up another point.

When you are writing an essay professionally (or book), you need to cite the origin of the materials you use. Did you also know that you need to have permission by those authors? Why do you think we are taught how to use citations in college? If you reference a specific book, article, or journal, you need to use citation in you college essays. Why? Its all about copyright protection and validating your work with reliable sources.

How do we get from someone trying to prove a theory using
evidence available on the internet to murder?

So my thread, STARGATES ARE REAL, should be removed due to copyright violation, since it gleaned me some notoreity, based on information not only available in public domain but also in the private sector, such as linking to videos of the stargate movie or tv show, photographs of movie stars shaking hands with air force generals. and all i have to do is gain notoreity from it, to be gaining something of value. i dunno, sounds pretty shaky to me. don't think you could convince the young people who commited suicide because they gained notoreity on facebook and had people harrassing them night and day, that it was something of value to be notorious.

You missed the logic. I get it.

Its all about moral behavior. Even though a large group of people are carrying out an immoral behavior, the end result does not suddenly make the act become moral.

Stealing is still stealing.

I've linked to web sites that talk about why what some people think are representations of ET craft, but as far as I'm aware, the images shown are in the public domain. I'm not aware I've ever linked to a copyrighted video on ATS, could you help me out with that?

Did you also know that you need to have permission by those authors?

What about excerpts and quotes? What, did they throw out the Fair Use thing ?
this doesn't sound right.

reply to post by Section31


it's a theory. how do i present a theory without data?
this is sounding worse all the time.

I'm sorry, why does that make you notorious? If you are linking to official stargate sites then there is no issue, not sure what you think movie stars shaking hands with air force officials is all about - should they not shake hands, if faced with each other should they do something else? I can't see where you are trying to go with this.

If the site owners have a copyright statement (at the bottom of the page), you can read it to find out what rights they do give you. Its all about what type of rights the copyright owners allow people to have.

Example: Space.com and NASA.gov have disclosure statements, which give visitors permission to use their imagery and articles. As long as you follow their guidelines (on how to use their materials), you are allowed to repost or quote their documents.

Always check the copyright permissions and guidelines on individual sites.

it's the theoretical "you", like john doe. there's tons of data on ATS that is from copyrighted material.
this is not a good scenario at all.

Absolutely, not that I'm aware I've ever linked to any of them.

well just to give you an idea. someone posted an excerpt from the stargate movie on youtube. i embedded the video on my thread. you still have to go to youtube to watch it. but it's not the whole thing. there's also a youtube link to the director's cut of the movie, but it doesn't contain the entire film. there's also a link to a website that pays for people watching tv shows and films by making you watch commercials inbetween sections, just like on TV. , and i linked to their stargate sg1 tv series on there and it's making them money, presumably the stargate franchise itself benefits from it. i thought all this press and theorizing and hypothesizing brought THEM notoreity, not the person reporting on it. the only way the writer gains notoreity is if they gain money for their efforts, which i have not, although THEY (the stargate franchise) have surely benefitted from the interest the thread has drummed up.

from the Service

what service? i dunno. sounds like you're trying to freak me out.
should i ask ATS to remove the thread? (i know alot of people who hate it, and alot who like it, and still more who don't care either way).

The whining artist need to shut up and realize when people embed their videos somewhere, they are getting free publicity.

but i don't use their website. i just quote from sections of the film, embed video excerpts, link to their tv series on a commercial site (that i'm assuming must be on the up and up because it's just like watching tv, commercials and the whole ball of wax and they have most tv shows on there) but mostly the thread isn't even about the tv show or movie, it just happens to keep cropping up because it mentions so many things that i personally found in real ancient texts, and modern day science.

anyway, the point is, if it's a violation, i want it removed. i don't want to spend 5 years in prison and/or pay 250,000 dollars for having a theoretical mind and using available data on the internet to prove my points.
