Fuck Youtube's Copyright

Just spent a bit of time making a 'Genius of Andre 3000' video putting his best verses together. Took me a while, I upload it and it gives me this message...

I actaully spent some good hard time on that. Pretty pissed off.

Why do they think it's gunna stop pirating and shit?

Times are a moving, big companies need to realises this and use things like this to their advantage, rather than keep fighting the unfightable.

It's actually not even about piracy.

Performing Rights organizations like ASCAP, BMI, etc. collect money on behalf of music publishers and writers/composers. In order to stream music from these artists, web sites have to pay ASCAP/BMI/SESAC. It's ridiculous, but true.

It's almost like saying you can't go to a party and listen to the stereo unless you own whatever's playing, or you've paid to license it.
