Hey all. When the Wishing Well video leaked here, I grabbed it and put it up on Youtube. I figured the more people that saw it the better for the band.
I know I have no rights to the video and I was not trying to profit from it.
This morning I got an email from Youtube stating WMG has submitted a claim on all or some of the visual content of the video. They are allowing it to continue to be broadcast but now they have access to the visitor data and can place advertisements on the page. I have no problem if it is the band or their representation. My question is if Blind Melon is with Adrenaline, then who is WMG? My thinking is Warner Music Group. Does anyone know if Adrenaline is part of Warner Music Group? Per the WMG wikipage, Adrenaline is not listed. The contact email on the Adrenaline page bounces back.
I just don't want someone claiming rights to something they do not have. If something fishy is going on, the band should know. If this is all legit and the band benefits, move along, nothing to see here.
Peace.

Thank you for the compliment.
It gets more interesting (to me that is).
I now have two emails denying my claim for revenue sharing for the Wishing Well video. Only thing is, I made no claim. I emailed Youtube for proof of my submitted claim and stated didn't make one.

That is really really strange.....has this ever happened to anyone else? I wonder if it is common or not.

Well, my investigative skills aren't that good. I went to the Wiki page for Adrenaline Music Group and it states right there they are part of Warner Music Group. Duh. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adrenaline_RecordsSooooo, their claim on the copyright is valid I guess. I hope they use the data from the 13000 views and put it to good use for the band. The USA is top in visitors (California is number one) with Canada second. They didn't make me take it down so that was good. Hire me for promotion Blind Melon!! Peace.
