Posted: Thu Apr 29, 2010 9:11 pm Post subject: Photobucket & Iron Maiden |
|
|
Wasn't sure where to put this, so I chose here since it sort of involves the website.
I noticed as I logged into photobucket today that I had pictures that they had removed for being against terms of use. I thought that was funny since all I use that account for is hosting score pictures and banners for signatures. I then went to check which ones were removed and noticed that all 6 were by Iron Maiden (2 pictures of 2 Minutes to Midnight from RB2 and GH5, 3 Run to the Hills pictures, and one Powerslave picture). Thinking something was up, I did a search for Iron Maiden on photobucket and found that about 75% of the pictures on each page were gone.
Anyone know what's up? I guess I'll use imageshack for Maiden stuff, but it's just inconvenient since it's not all in one place. |

yeah, i had the same thing happen to me
they took down 5 of my Maiden Vocal FC pictures
Run To The Hills OV
Number of the Beast OV
The Trooper
The Clairvoyant
and 2 Minutes 2 Midnight
it would have to be a copyright issue, since nothing in an FC proof could be considered pornographic, vulgar, or in any other way offensive or harmful
so far it's only Iron Maiden stuff, but it could easily spread to other bands
i have no idea what to do about it as far as photobucket is concerned
hopefully they'll come to the conclusion that having a song's title in plain text in a picture doesn't violate copyrights, since it shouldn't
especially since it's from rock band which the songs were licensed for
if anything, it's free advertising. it doesn't infringe on any of the rights of the band
i would assume its the record company filing claims against it and not the band, since filing these claims would only serve to hurt the bands reputation and alienate their fans, and they gain nothing for removing these pictures. _________________

Same here. It honestly confused me, especially because they've been up there for months (minus the 2 Minutes to Midnight RB score since I just re-GSed it last week). |

That's really weird. I didn't have any of my pics for runs on Iron Maiden songs taken down, at least for now (one on RB1, whatever ammount on GH) o_O
Maybe it takes a while for everyone to be hit, so it means that I should stay with my guard up _________________

| 57 RB1 on-disk FC's, plus 4 RB Vox FGFC's. No way I don't feel accomplished! =) |

they didn't pull all of mine at once
they removed two of them for abuse a few days ago, and removed the other three yesterday
i still have Number of the Beast OV Drum FC and Wasted Years Vocal FC pics that haven't been taken down,
so i'm not sure how they're going through everything but it isn't immediate
Edit:
so...i just checked my photobucket account, and my 2 minutes 2 midnight vocal FC was put back up
not sure why they put it back up, but maybe they'll fix the rest of them too
Edit2:
wow, it was up for 1 minute, and it's back to being removed for abuse
something really screwy is going on here _________________

What the everliving fuck? How can they say that posting a picture of text spelling the name of their song is copyright infringement? That is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard on the copyright infringement subject, seriously. _________________

Well, my Trooper GHSH pic is still there, thankfully.
Those recording companies must be paranoid or something. _________________

21st Century Schizoid Men I say. I had a Run to the Hills OV guitar GS from ages ago removed, yet all the Maiden vox FCs and guitar GSes I have on there (guitar mostly recent, vox from like December) are still there. This is so strange and random... _________________

Things like this piss me off I mean I can understand that getting free music and albums is bad but just putting info on a banner with a cd picture??? It's getting a little annoying that copyright infringements are more strict now adays. When will it stop!!!??? Probably never, since illegal downloads are still occuring today sadly. |

that's odd indeed.
I don't see where any of mine were affected. For those who did have pictures removed, were your photos tagged and/or named with descriptive file names?
(mine aren't, and they're still up ((for now)). not saying that that means anything -- just an observation.) _________________

Mine were named with whatever song they were, but that's about it. I never tag them. lol. |
