Hey guys!
So as I was going through my email today, I got a notification from YouTube that one of my completely harmless, practically no-views videos had been blocked. It's sooooo dumb. Their over-reaching policy agreements with copyright holders are insane, and if they don't figure out some alternatives, they are clearing, practically paving the way for platforms like Dtube to take over.
I believe copyright laws are going to have to change drastically in the near future to accommodate the blockchain and its permanency. It won't be quite as easy to just "take something down" and what are they going to do? Sue every single person who records a cover without the permission of a record label?
On top of that, record labels are dying. A lot of artists don't even use them anymore. They just produce their own records and have their own followings. Many artists make enough money doing this that they never even have to go mainstream. It's a brave new world out there with artists, and I think this is just the beginning.
In the meantime Youtube, suck it and you can go eat a bag of dicks for blocking my harmless cover after demonetizing my account, ya pricks!
Anyway, sorry this is so salty! Love ya guys!!!
xx~Beth
