Problemi di Copyright...

Ieri mi è arrivata una e-mail di diffida da parte di YouTube. Qualcuno ha chiesto di far rimuovere un innocente video musicale di un artista fiorentino, da me caricato, solo perché il suddetto video è stato registrato da MTV. Ma i diritti di un video musicale non appartengono all'artista? Da quando in qua appartengono all'emittente che li ha trasmessi UNA volta?
E meno male che ormai sono proprio gli stessi artisti che pubblicano i propri video su YouTube: hanno capito che la visibilità che può dare questo network non arreca danni alla musica, anzi, la pubblicizza.
Ho pubblicato un altro video musicale su YouTube, su permesso scritto dell'artista in questione. Cosa devo aspettarmi? Il carcere a vita?
La cosa curiosa è che i video a cui dare la caccia non sono questi, ma sono ben altri...

Per completezza pubblico il testo integrale della missiva che mi è arrivata.
