March of Time

A re-mix of something I made earlier this month that got blocked by YouTube because of the background music.  It’s a vid which is me, from the month of March in the last five years. It’s now with some Ska music made by some  former roommates of mine, the guys from Missing Link of Berkeley, CA.

I realize that I still exist in somewhat of a permissive environment for videos like this. It’s rare that my YouTube vids, which 8o% of the time contain copywritten music get blocked like my first attempt at posting this (which had ‘Lust for Life’ as the background music by Iggy Pop).

C’mon YouTube. Seriously. I don’t make money on this. Youtube might. FriendBurst might. But it’s not like Iggy Pop is out there campaigning for copyright enforcement. Let the decision for the licensing stuff fall on the music creators, not on the music OWNERS.

    My favorite part of the above video is me getting admonished by Darth Vader… A “wag of the finger” is better than a “choke of the throat” I suppose

    You “touched” a very sensitive subject in the music industry. Someone fought for it, for this matter, but cos those that make the rules on this, never liked, they forbidden and tried to keep it under the carpet.

    Hope this will not stop you to make more videos and bring us a moment of joy when we see it.

    Does Darth have a big package?
