Avex sucks.

[Cosmic_Bard]

They pulled my SCP vids from YouTube for infringement, despite them already being publicly hosted elsewhere. However, they were only interested in 'Mr. Nice Guy', 'Play the Music' and 'Fire and the Rain' for some reason.

Of course I'll be putting them back up, but this bothers me.

[Jay]

Not new or surprising.

It's truly a wonder why they go after these music videos (which aren't even that long) and fanmade ParaPara videos. Why don't they go after those IDW vultures who risk killing off the genre?

Ugh. Avex doesn't make sense.

[Cosmic_Bard]

It's just an inconvenience.
Avex is huge, but they're not big enough to stomp out something that even larger record labels have no luck with. There are hundreds of niche video hosting sites that they haven't touched (and can't), like Veoh.

It takes me three minutes to upload my videos anew... I wonder how long it takes them to fill out forms and apply for infringement?

Longer than three minutes, I'll bet you.

Yet you're acknowledging the fact you're doing something that Avex doesn't want you to, as well as posting copyrighted material on Youtube.

Yeah, heaven forbid I should go against Avex's wishes.

[d-tan]

Welcome to a little over a year ago for me Avex doesn't give a shit about anyone else but themselves, and they even took down one of my videos WITHOUT AUDIO because they are really stupid and didn't bother checking the video x_x

But yeah, I'm probably on the top of their hate list, so you don't have anything to worry about...

[Cosmic_Bard]

Heh, d~tan, your Avex hate-on is well known. ^_^

You've had luck moving your stuff around and so can everyone else, like I said, their tentacles can't reach everywhere.

Avex had youtube remove my parapara video for i wanna be fat ages ago Apparently the edited length, and crap sound quality of the music posted on youtube is a bigger threat then everything else out on the world wide web that threatens their copyrights. It's probably just easier for them to target youtube.

The only thing that really bothers me about Avex aside from their unwillingness to promote eurobeat beyond Japan is that SCP can't release their songs individually due to their tight bond. There's just way too many Euromach extensions from the label that I'm still waiting for, but the bonus discs are the only way I can depend on them.

[drnrg]

I guess that also applies to TIME and ABeatC, right?

[#Infinity]

Yeah, but at least those labels had the Super Eurobeat series to promote the majority of their tracks.

[Ricfiam]

Avex should be glad that the world getting know about eurobeat for example at youtube. The style would be more popular.
But avex don't give a shit to anything and anybody just will stop the SEB in the future because only this forum members buying the albums. And we are less.
Stupid branch of assholes, they only cutting the songs and do nothing else.

[Cosmic_Bard]

Stupid branch of assholes, they only cutting the songs and do nothing else.

And they don't do a very good job of that, either.

[zoupzuop2]

I HERD AVEX HAETS MUDKIPZ!

At any rate, whil Avex does seem to be keeping a rather tight and harsh leash on anything they've breathed on, we do still have them to thank for Super Eurobeat to begin with. And if Avex wasn't being a dick about what they own of EB, someone else would. That's just music business.

[drnrg]

I'm just glad they release SEB. I couldn't care less if it crossed over to U.S or about Youtube videos. I just want my regular dose of SEB.
