Tuesday May 22, 2007 Hong Kong Hong Kong singer and actress Sammi Cheung has asked her lawyer to send a letter to YouTube, a popular video sharing website, requiring them to withdraw video clips of her latest solo concert. Tom.com quoted a report from the Information Times on May 22. The pop queen last week kicked off her eight-day solo concert tour after two years away from the stage. Some fans shot parts of the concert and uploaded them on YouTube to share with other people. Sammi's agent says that they hope to remind fans to protect copyright of the concerts. credits: crienlish, asianfanatics.
lol well atleast she is asking nicely and not suing youtube or demanding clips be removed an users banned
Well she's right...I mean if after the concerts are over people put up fan videos that would be ok, but posting them before hand gives away the secrets of her shows...
Oh yeah there was one up of her singing with ah gill when i looked last =) If not on youtube google it, Ive seen it on other hosting sites
why cant artists and co release official clips and stuff on youtube and get money from them or is that already being done then you eliminate any illegal clips and give fans what they want
these are bootleg clips ...like a camcorder movie from the theater before it releases...there's no difference. The Artist and record company gets more money when you purchase the DVD Concert....when it becomes available in stores.
Yeah agreed. like what Dimsum said if they embed ads onto the website or even into the parts of clips of well known songs and then put it online which discourages pirating. And then when they release the DVD they put extra features into it as give the feeling of added benefit or exclusiveness.
i think we all know that youtube is a well known site so if they put the clips on youtube wouldnt it help to promote the concert then more pple will wan to see the concert and they can sell more ticket
Maybe future tickets cause they took cams of her concert while the concert was taking place. One would logically think that the tickets were sold before the concert so it affects future tickets.
i think youtube will not be the only place that have her concert online... there is so many other website... she can't stop all the anti-copyright ppl
