Los Angeles, CA—YouTube has
changed entertainment and news in a big way.
It’s brought the true democratization of mass media allowing virtually
anyone to create, and broadcast whatever he or she desires. Saying that, there are those issues related to
what content gets special behind the scenes promotion by YouTube. There is a lot of trash mixed
in with some stunning content. YouTube is also
a training ground for those that want to shape and hone their skills.
Music lovers routinely steal
or borrow music content created by others for their video’s soundtracks. This
has created copyright pandemonium.
However it’s not really a bad thing for the artists. In fact new
exposure of forgotten music of decades gone by has boosted legitimate sales!
I’m a chronic music
thief! I do it because I fail to see the
harm and I don’t get punished. More
importantly I need great music for the videos I create. There is copyright free material but it’s
really lame in most cases.
I’ve become addicted to
camera drones and sharing my incredible videos with friends and strangers
alike. I can either do a voiceover or
add music to the soundtrack. Drone video
was made for exceptional music. I have to find and borrow music based on type
and length so my videos become enjoyable.
Right now YouTube compensates
artists through shared advertising revenue. However my numerous friends in
Europe are blocked from my videos because of compensation issues.
I say these issues must be
worked out for art’s sake! I’d be
willing to pay a reasonable fee to insure my videos are seen everywhere in the
civilized world. I don’t mind the
advertising provided it’s fair to the music artists.
Below are some of the drone
videos where I placed “borrowed” music.
It’s my hope that viewers will be encouraged to legitimately purchase
those songs for their music various devices.
