OK, I understand this and completely agree with you. But I have now another question, @themarkymark, I've been recording live performances of bands for more than twenty years, and a lot of it, when Steemit was still around, I posted on Dtube (over 100 music videos), which is problematic in one way, because the old recordings (which were less visited) are no longer even visible, or have been deleted, and when 3spek came along I continued to post my videos there. Now, I'd like to migrate all my Dtube clips to 3speak. How would that look from a content re-use point of view?
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
Do you have permission from the band to post? Dtube is known for not caring about copyright.
As for re-use, you have been rewarded for it so regardless if it is visible or not shouldn’t matter.
Of course, I have permission, all bands which play in the club are aware that everything is being recorded. And if they don't allow it, then it's not being recorded. Whole concerts go on YT, and individual songs on various video hosts.
Visibility or invisibility I know is irrelevant, but for me, it's more about keeping things archived somewhere, at least one song from each band. On Dtube, that's not possible.
Being able to record and being able to monetize is two different things.
You're right. But we talk about the alternative and underground scene, some bands don't care about that, some don't have anything recorded and they got their first shots. These recordings are not actually monetization but rather the promotion of unknown bands ...
I kind of see it like recording a public domain movie playing and posting it here for rewards.
So you think it's best not to publish it at all?
That’s up to you. Just my perception of what you said.
I don’t see it as original content I also would be concerned with monetizing someone else’s work regardless if you had permission to “film”.
But I only know as much as you have told me.
