    "This video contains content from Sony Music Entertainment. It is not available in your country."

    I'm seeing this more and more on youtube and it is seriously starting to tick me off!!

    Okay, I really like the video Ravenheart by Xandria. But Sony and Youtube keep blocking it! I used to have a link to a great 720 p HD version of it which got blocked. Then I found a lower def version which they then also blocked. I'm now stuck watching a really grainy low def 240 p version that I'm sure they will find and block as well or the Youtube "Vevo" sponsored videos with their ads every bloody time. Not to mention the annoying as Hell Britney Spears background they were using. I try to avoid garbage like Britney Spears and Justin Bieber and I don't need it thrown in my face when I am trying to watch the metal videos that I like which don't air here.

    I don't get it. It doesn't do the band any favors. If I had never seen the video on youtube I never would have imported the CDs. There is nowhere else I can watch the music videos of the bands I like.

    It's ticking me off!!
    You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...

      See if this works. If the quality is poor let me know and I can try and tweak it for you.

        I also find it really annoying.

          Brad,

          You should upload the 480p .mov version to youtube and in instead of going public do it private, then share out the link.

          I've had my videos shut down in the past, mostly in the US but managed to bypass the copyright for most. There is a way to do it until the the label comes along and manages to get it removed. However, it depends on which country. I still have some of my vids shut in the US but most can be seen from other countries.

            No, I'm in the states. Youtube seems to like to block the Icelandic and German metal music videos I like to watch from the states.

            That's cool.

              I've always found this strange. Definitely a good move, keeping fans or worse yet potential fans from enjoying your work. Hiding your light under a bushel is always a brilliant strategy for increasing income. /irony

                My wife has a Youtube account but I don't yet. I guess it's time to open one up for occasions like this one as I don't want to use hers. Thanks for the great advice ealdrett. It will let me help others without getting in trouble.


                I knew there would be a risk. I did it quickly while at work (where I am yet again for the 7th day in a row-too bad I only get paid for 40hrs as I will hit 70+) and figured once Werewolf had a chance to see it then I would pull it down, which I just did.

                The first link I hit only had it up to 360p and I converted it to a WMV file in case anyone wanted to download it to play in Windows media player. If anyone here ever needs videos like this pulled down, converted to MPEG 2, and burned onto a DVD just send me a pm and I will be happy to take care of it for you.
