I ran across ALL of my youtube vids on some site called datab.us? It looks like they just compile youtube videos and then put their own adverts all over it and call it their own. Can you guys find your vids on here as well? If you are a youtube "partner" I wonder if this stuff counts for your plays or not?

From what I read it just appears to be a search engine.

My videos are on there as well. I've seen other sites like that as well actually. Can't remember their names now, mind you.

Probably anything with guitar in the title gets aggregated.
Most of my YouTube channel is up on those sites and very few of them are actual gear vids. Everything is everybody's. Be careful what you wish for, you reap what you sow and all that ... -------------------- - Ken Lasaine

Looks like they've branded some of the videos with their own logo too. Some people attribute no financial value to non-tangible things.....until there's some money or promotion of your own business to gain from it. I'd definitely put my name / website in the corner of all my stuff before publishing. If they get nicked, at least you get some promotion from it, and if they remove your branding that's even more black and white wrong in the eyes of the law. In the UK the copyright industry had growth of almost 10% in 2012, outperforming all other sectors of UK industry. https://www.gov.uk/government/news/creative...r-to-uk-economy My prediction is that copyright crimes will get clamped down on more over the years as it becomes a bigger source of revenue for the economy and governments via taxation, there won't really be any option.

Well said!!
 That's really a very good bit of advice. I'd been considering some sort of graphic or watermark or something just to have all my content branded for just such things.

I think the views you get from plays on that site will actually be counted towards your total number of views on Youtube. This is because the youtube videos are embedded.
Now it is really awful to see sites like this, I have always wondered - does anyone really browse and use those type of sites? This curiosity also expands to : does anyone answer marriage proposals, viagra and lottery win spam emails? When it comes to fake accounts on youtube, I find it annoying but it is really comforting to know that YT does a nice job in keeping content as duplicate free as possible. Such accounts are suspended all the time and there are mechanisms for removing duplicate/stolen content. -------------------- For GMC support please email support (at) guitarmasterclass.net

A quick googling says embedded videos don't add to your number of views, so I would suggest spending the time changing your settings not to allow embedded videos to play that will give them the option of watching them through youtube. A tedious job for you though Todd

Some other things I didn't mention but would like to. Much of which is regarding actually selling stolen material. I'm not going to name names, but what I say can be looked up.
Amazon kindle books is awash with piracy of our industry (and others). There are 100's of guitar tab books on kindle from a certain individual, and for almost any guitarist under the sun. Not a single one has a publisher name or copyright statement inside, just professional tabs that look like they have been lifted then sold on Amazon. Another book promo vid uses music from a famous guitarist, and even if the author played it, he didn't write the tune. I contacted the legal department of the huge publisher who I know own the copyrights but never heard back and it's still rife on Amazon, I guess they have bigger fish to fry? no idea. I noticed one of the guys stuff who looks to have had their stuff nicked is a JamTrack Central artist. As the law stands Amazon would have to take this stuff down only if a DMCA take down request was made. If amazon don't know about it / aren't told then they are not liable and neither do they have any responsibility to make sure it doesn't happen in the first place. It would be hard to argue websites should be held liable for copyright infringements from content they don't publish themselves, this might open vague interpretation for websites that genuinely try their best to police, pre-DMCA take down. I made a DMCA takedown request before and after my work was taken down (a book) the website had a system to recognize further infringements of the same work and stop them automatically, which is good faith, I'm not sure they are legally obliged to do that. I think the technology is there, A.I. can recognize cat vids on youtube. For anyone interested this is an example of a legal copy of someones work, if you view the look inside there is a publisher statement and a copyright statement (the bit that tells you copying without holders permission is illegal), the Publisher is also listed in the product details: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Maiden-Anthology-S...DV7FCWA74KHTG9R There are many kindle books with pro tabs in that have neither of the three. If you are a fan and want to support your musician whether famous or not, wealthy or poor, then you should be aware of this, and I'm certain your support is much appreciated. -------------------- Founder of new startup social network site that brings the good aspects of MySpace, Twitter and FaceBook together.

Sad but true. Copyrights are nearly a thing of the past these day. It seems only in cases where there is blood in the water does anyone get involved. Sure, if money is on the table, lawyers will one up. OTherwise, it's pretty hit or miss. On the buyer side, they just want something free or cheap typically. They don't so much care whether it's "borrowed" or not. But that's life in the big city eh?
