@steemersayu907: The Steem revolution
Unfortunately, this entry wasn't eligible for the prize pool as it uses copyrighted music. That was against the contest rules, since the idea is to use the winning art work off-chain. Yet, thanks a lot for your participation @steemersayu907!
Good promotion mate. Your video creates good awareness regarding applications on Steem. Your video shows what this blockchain has to offer rather than simply promoting it as a place to make money. Considering where Steem is in its life cycle your advertisement is appropriate. I hope you win, I have a feeling you might ;)
Thanks a lot for your detailed feedback !
I'm too glad that you liked my style and the way it was presented :)
Yup, I believe that STEEM should be spread as a place to SHARE & GAIN rather than just an earnin source.
Hehe... I too have a same feeling like yours ;)
Cheers!
@steemersayu907, voted!
Good luck! I cross my fingers for you.

Hey @steemersayu907! I'm just reviewing all the entries according to the established rules for the contest, since the decision day is coming closer.
I have a question regarding the song you used for your video which I just identified as Michael Aasen's song "Problem".
Where did you download the music, is this a royalty-free song? I'm asking since we're planning to spread the winning clips all over the internet as advertisement for Steem, and we need to act 100% according to the copyright law. If this wasn't a royalty-free song, we wouldn't be able to use the clip as official video ad for Steem.
In advance thanks for getting back :-)
EDIT: If you decide to not reply to this comment (or one of my comments on your posts as well as the discord message) and if you canโt prove the music is royalty-free before the voting ends, then this video will be disqualified. Thank you!
Hello @surfermarly, I'm so sorry for the late reply. I have explained why I was late and DM ed you the reason.
But see, the song I used for this video was from a website which provided only NO-COPYRIGHT songs. I often use em'. But for this case which one I used, I don't remember but I assure you that this won't face any copyright issue.
I've been using many songs from the internet offered by NO-COPYRIGHT websites and this one too came from one of them. I really don't remember from which website I picked it because I downloaded many songs for the edit and finalized this one.
I've been using such websites from a long time and have never faced a copyright issue till now. So I believe that this song too can't be copyrighted. On the other hand I didn't took the full song which I downloaded, I just took a part. Slashed some part from the starting and some from the end and kept some part of the middle portion. This can't be Copyrighted :)
I hope my little entry is still eligible :-)
I again Apologize for the late reply ...
Hi @steemersayu907! I have been searching the song all over the internet but the only sources I can find is Spotify, Amazon, iTunes and Youtube.
You need to provide me with the link where it says that the music is royalty-free, otherwise I canโt accept the entry.
I furthermore sent a message to the producer himself on Twitter:
That is actually something you shouldโve done by yourself being the creator of the artwork. I mentioned if from day one: a commercial video ad cannot contain any third part elements, unless youโre holding the copyrights.
If we donโt get a positive response from the producer or you canโt provide me with the needed information til the contest / voting ends, I wonโt be able to let your entry pass.
Thanks for your understanding and cooperation.
Hello @surfermarly,
I heavily regret not keepin the source link with me, but I've good a lil scope of proving that this can't be copyrighted.
I have check throughly upon YouTube's music policies and also looked ut for
the song PROBLEM and The Artist namely Michael Aasen
I did not found this song there. So I would request you to please have a look upon here -
https://www.youtube.com/music_policies
And clear the confusion :)
And thanks a lot for tweeting him, I too did that just now.
I hope it's now good but still would love to hear from your side..
Thanks a lot for your efforts
I canโt it find either.
As I said before: this is a music track thatโs for sale on Amazon and iTunes. Why would the author offer it for free somewhere else?
If there is no clear proof that this is a royalty-free track, your video canโt be used as commercial ad.
Thatโs basic content creation law: never use the art of someone else, unless they allowed you to do so.
Again: we need a written copyright description for that song or a positive response from the producer. Youโve got still a couple of hours of time, good luck ๐ค
:(
I'm regretting so bad !! Yup, you're right why would someone give it away for free.
I have texted Michael about the permission for the same though I think I would get any kinda reply :(
But see I looked it out upon ITunes and Amazon as well, but I didn't found on both of the sites.
The Page was Not Found on Amazon
https://www.amazon.com/gp/search?ie=UTF8&keywords=Michael+Aasen+-+Problem+-+Remix&tag=lastfm-20&index=music&linkCode=ur2&camp=1789&creative=9325
And the same applies for ITunes -
https://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZSearch.woa/wa/advancedSearch?s=143467&affToken=www.last.fm&at=10l3Sh&app=itunes&artistTerm=Michael+Aasen&songTerm=Problem+-+Remix
As well as it is neither on Spotify !
The same music is nowhere but on YouTube and on YouTube it doesn't own a COPYRIGHT.
Please have a look ...
@steemersayu907 - I hope the music is usable... Great and lively video! Loved it.
This entry will be disqualified @done due to copyright infringement and cheating (manipulating votes through bid bots). You may reconsider the vote ;-) And thanks for supporting the other entries!!! ๐
Pulled it. I will be watching for results and voting generously to the winning competitors!
Awesome! :-) I'll be publishing the post in about an hour when the voting procedure ends and when we know who our final winners are.
Hi @done, Yup there's an issue with the music.
But I hope it will be soon solved, I have asked @surfermarly that I would replace the music track with another one on the same video. Just wait8in for her Approval !!
Plus !! I'm very glad to receive such huge support from the community !!
But a bit sad as well as a guy namely @devilromit16 bought me some bid votes with approx value of 0.6 $ which is a bit controversial for me. But Trust Me I didn't do that.
And you can check the activities of @DRisers and get to know my true intentions. That's the reason I am fighting against these kinda allegations :(
Anyways I believe that the sun shines the brightest !!
hehe thanks a billion for your blessings :)
Your entry will be disqualified for the known reasons. And yes, sun will shine bright for all those who played fair and according to the rules here.
Chapter closed.
Thank You for the time you invested behind the reasons for disqualifying me and not providing me any further scope and especially for the things that my soul knows I haven't committed except the music mistake.
Sadly I've been a victim of deep controversy, ( Interestingly for a stranger ;) )
And Yes, Do remember there are even bigger stars than sun in the universe :)
I spent a whole day with you here trying to help you solving YOUR problem.
You are the only one who didnโt respect the rules of the contest. Be at least so professional to admit your mistake.
I will write a longer post about this pretty interesting experience and life lesson.
Yup, I admitted my mistake proudly and asked for some scope to correct it ( the Music one )
But I've been gettin some allegations which I should not be blamed of :)
I really appreciate your efforts, I too tried hard to contact that Song Author, but got silence.
I accept I should have had taken that link :( I regret that.
But The other reason for the disqualification is .. :(
Copyright infringement is a total no go in general. I made that pretty clear right from the start. This is not about a link thatโs missed - itโs about using a piece of art thatโs not yours. In the advertisement space thatโs absolutely impossible. Do you know how expensive a take down notice can be? Do you want to pay for that then? I donโt.
Chapter closed. I donโt have time for this.
good work so amazing
Thanks a lot brother, I'm glad u liked it :)
Cheers!
Great done @steemersayu907

Using upvote bots is not fair to others though. To people who try to win in the right way..
The entry will most likely be disqualified due to copyright infringement.
That's a pity. I liked the video. It really shows off the strengths of the platform. If it's a copyright issue with the music, I guess we can't widely distribute it.
On the plus side, at least my video won't be last.
Hey @spectrumecons,
I'm very glad that you liked my video :)
But Mate, Trust me ... The song I've used in the video is from a website that offers only NO-COPYRIGHT musics. I picked it from a website, I heavily regret not mentioning the source of it. I'll give a try to hunt down the source but I can't make a commitment as I used a number of sites from where I downloaded 7 songs and this was one of them. But I can assure this video won't face any copyright. You can count on me !
Cheers!
Assuring means providing a source here, thank you. See my detailed reply above.
I hope this can be resolved. I have no official say as I'm not running the contest. I would like to see a fair result as well as all content that can be legitimately shared.

Yes, in fact a commercial ad canโt contain any third party elements unless the author is holding the corresponding copyrights. Thatโs a basic rule of content creation and I mentioned it since day one.
That's fair enough.

I tried to be fair all the time actually ... Some people will still find things to complain about here, but I guess thatโs just because they want to find something :-)
Have a nice day!
Fairness is a perception thing. Not everybody sees things the same way. All we can do is try the best we can. If there are things people are not happy about they should be considered for future contests.
A key thing to remember is, you won't please everyone.

Please give my comment a read.. I hope you'll understand my counterpart and give me a green signal for the entry :)
You can give yourself the green light by providing the required copyright information and proving that youโre allowed to use that song from Michael Aasen. Thank you.
Hello @chatwithkat,
I too believe that,It deprives others and don't let them have what they deserve but see I haven't used it from my side !
Trust ME I haven't asked anyone to do it as well ! Please think from my side.. If someone else buys votes from his/her side, What can I do ? I really don't know who have bought them for me.
I admit that I went to a number of people for their support but never asked to buy votes for me. I really can't figure out who can be that person..
Anyone can do that and to create a bad impression about someone on others, this can be done..
:)
Mystery solved
Woah ! It's very good to see you pickin up the real culprit, or what should I say him though :(
Can you please suggest me what should I do ??
Appreciate your efforts !
Thereโs been Steem transferred to that account only to manipulate the votes and boost your entry to the top!
You can tell your friend that the party is over and that this will disqualify the entry.
Hey @surfermarly ! I didn't sent any STEEM to anyone !!
I have also seen that @devilromit16 sent two votes to the comment valued 0.6$ and even wrote that He's my friend on his about.
But trust me I didn't do that ! Neither I sent him STEEM nor He's my friend
Please have a look into this matter and think over it. There's nothing that I should be blamed of and especially of the thing I didn't commit :(
