anybody else hate this? Everyone else in the world is sharing videos and I'm like, "that looks good", and then I remember, "oh yeah... the Nazi regimé is alive and well in the GEMAfia"

Unfortunately, this video is not available in your country because it
could contain music, for which we could not agree on conditions of
use with GEMA.
Sony about that.

"[...]it COULD contain music[...]"? Are you kidding me?

based on title etc. Then there are people and robots that go through the videos and try to find copyrighted material. The GEMA basically says "artists pay us to protect their music, and they NEED to protect their music in order for it to be sold in Germany (standard mafia tactic), and because YouTube earns money on music to people in Germany, then YouTube needs to pay GEMA so they can pay the royalties to the artists". But this really doesn't happen. What they really do is collect money from artists and clubs and anyone using music in any way (games, TV, film). Then they pay out to paying GEMA-members relationally to how much they brought in with their music. So basically the rich keep getting richer at the cost of the poor.

GEMA wants me to pay 100€ to play a gig so that they can "protect" me from people who film the gig who upload it to YouTube. But I want them to be able to do it, so I say, " **** off". But then they say, "oh, you don't want to pay? Then here: we sue you for 8,000€" And GEMA is run by the people in the government (although it's technically not a an official German entity), so they basically have single-handedly ****** over music in Germany.

And the WORST part: if you sell/perform your music in Germany, EVERY German can use your music for commercial endeavours. For artistic bands like Tool or Doors who don't want to have their music used for commercials and **** , this is terrible news. It's either they play/sell music in Germany and risk some ****** TV show using their song in a commercial or they lose out on German fans.

And yes - they played Tool's Vicarious on a ******* cooking show. My girlfriend ws watching TV and I'm like, "what??? Tool is on TV???"

**** GEMA.

Oh yeah - I bought the domain fuckgema.com/net/de/org, and they ******* DDoSed my server.

**** GEMA in the most uncomfortable position of the asshole.

Eure Mütter: Der Typ, der bei der GEMA die Titel eintippt...

Yep, **** the GEMA. That's why I love this song so much, even though it doesn't change anything.

theres a way to get around it, aparently the HOLA extension helps, but i never got it to work for me.

ironically you can just go to SSyoutube.com/.... and download the video, which is what I sometimes do. But often I'm just like, "ugh... this system of 'artist protection' sucks".

The funniest thing is when bands actually post their music on Facebook, themselves and tell you to watch the videos. You click the link and can´t watch it.

Like, what the **** ? the ******* band themselves told us that we could watch it for free, what the **** Gema?
