Ricardo -> RE: Encuentro bans YouTube videos (Apr. 10 2007 4:52:07)

Total BS Grisha. I sent an email to them, very friendly like. We will see if they respond. For the record, they are in the right regarding the vids they own the rights to. But I mean if anyone learned the tune FROM ENCUENTRO and loaded it, sheeeesh, shooting yourself in the foot you know? What is the point of educational material? But as if they own Gerardo's music or something. Chicuelo too. Gerardo refuses to sell the Encuentro vid at his curso because he felt it was too high priced, a rip off. I disagree, but I think Encuentro is going overboard on YOUTUBE. I mean they STOLE FAUCHER'S work right off, mistakes and all. They need to be cool about this copyright stuff, you know? Probably they are just mad since they don't make money off the vid series, except from people like me. They blame the internet for the fact their new digital format is not taking off. I mean, I have students looking for folks to buy the VHS versions so they can get the DVD versions. They don't offer "cheap upgrades", you have to buy the whole thing again. Now they are mad at folks for uploading bootleg concerts???? They are gonna end up with some negative feedback if they are not careful. How about USING YOUTUBE to there advantage for marketing??? There is an idea. Ricardo
