David Fuller's account on YouTube was deleted. Again.

Say all your gratitude words to international faggots orgainsation called 'Web Sheriff".

I can't understand what was criminal in David's channel.  Why did they do it?  They should be punished.

I'm versed in copyright laws an only thing I can say that modern copyright practics are totally incorrect. Actually, according to laws, Dave's channel is very criminal. But according to common sense the only real bandits are copyright defenders. Queen Productions know about this channel, they just can't not to, but they don't need deletion of this account. But crazy organizations like Web Sheriff do need.

I've always hated these copyright faggots. And only thing that I can say — artists, don't be greedy. Upload audio in Internet yourself, just like Trent Reznor and Radiohead do it. This is the only way to put these fucking copyright faggots into their places.

Sad times :(

I hope his account on youtube is restored...again.

Adam.

You really do your argument a disservice by peppering it with the homophobic slur "faggot" - particularly on a message board for a band whose lead singer was gay.

fred wasnt gay,he just enjoyed all aspects of life.
some more to excess than others lol lol lol.

Ah for feck sake. :/

I think the fairest way to deal with copyrighted material would be to ask this question : does this represent a viable alternative to buying the product?

People who upload unaltered music, TV shows or movies to Youtube eventually get their arses kicked, and *rightly so*.  If it's something that can be bought, then you are being a cheeky prat by offering it for free.

BUT ... if you are using it in a manner that has been altered, then I think the copyright owners can just fuck off.  I've had a lot of experience with Youtube Copyright, and they've got no business removing videos that don't represent an alternative to buying a product.  Mashups, video-dubs, game walkthroughs, whatever - none of these represent a lost sale because none of them are an untouched work of art or whatever.  They should be thankful for the free word-of-mouth advertising.  

And as far as I'm concerned, this ought to go for so-called bootleg stuff as well, or things that can't be bought.  If I can buy a TV show, or a movie, or an album, then I will.  But guess what - I had to get Seasons 3-5 of TJ Hooker off Demonoid, because the assholes don't sell it.  I've downloaded a metric shit-tonne of Queen rarities, because the morons won't sell it to me legally.  Things like that really piss me off.

Having said that, it really does suck that this channel was taken down, but hopefully he's learned a lesson.  There were some great rare videos there and a lot of commercially unobtainable stuff - but there was also a few things that can be bought fairly easily.  That's bound to cause trouble eventually.

With absolutely no disrespect intended to Dave, why is this such a big deal?  We've all got the same stuff anyway!  There's not a single thing on that channel that I didn't have already, and that's before I even knew what Queenzone or even YouTube was (and I'm sure most of us are the same).  Yeah, I agree that this stuff should be made public one way or another, but would you have cared if it was just some random geezer with a glee clip?  It's only news because it's Dave, but it's not really a major problem, is it?

These "we" are probably collectors of rarities. Of course for me this is not a problem, because I have good collection too, but there's a lot of less active (and lucky) fans for whom this channel was almost the only source of rare song versions.

If these guys have access to Youtube then they have access to the plethora of sites where such material can be obtained.  And if they can't be bothered with that, then there is a YouTube grabber thingy available.  Like I say, it's no big deal.

David fuller account closed, volcano stopping air travel, hose pipe ban. It's last year all over again.

So.... Any chance he can just mass upload it for people on forums? I know it'd be a rather large download, but it's one worth sharing.

theres a previous post about youtube problems on the general discusion, youtube must be on its period due to how bitchy its being resently
