The Deal with YouTube

Our Marlin videos are being taken down from YouTube because of a deal that fell through between YouTube and Warner Music Group:

YouTube Blog:
"We work with the music industry worldwide -- with major and independent labels and publishers, rights collecting societies, and with artists and songwriters directly -- to build user-friendly licensing arrangements. With these partners and our cutting-edge Content ID technology, we've created a win-win situation the likes of which never existed before YouTube: a system that gives artists a brand new revenue source and a great way to connect with their fans. That said, despite our constant efforts, it isn't always possible to maintain these innovative agreements. Sometimes, if we can't reach acceptable business terms, we must part ways with successful partners. For example, you may notice videos that contain music owned by Warner Music Group being blocked from the site."

So at this point, expect all the Marlin videos to go away for good on YouTube However, we're working on getting all of them up to our site. We will be updating the links on our video page as we get more of them up. You can start checking them out now in our Video Archive section. New Marlins will begin as usual in February, and we will upload them to YouTube, the only difference is that we'll be using almost (if not all) original or royalty-free music so that this doesn't happen again. Sorry about all this guys.

All marlin vids? what about the lemon man website, that has youtube marlin 20

im gonna miss The Dealership episode...

You guys, you can still see the episodes. Go to thomasproductionsinc.com for a link to the episodes.

The only difference is that the one labeled videos, is not pure MtE

Well...actually...I didn't. When I saw that they were taking the videos down, I worked like crazy getting them up. Season 3 will be on there eventually. Right now were working on Season 4.

Ep.28, (my favorite) has no audio!
I need audio on that episode, the director guy is way to hilarious!

Got good news guys! Most of the old Marlin episodes are coming back to YouTube!

I recently found out that you can dispute the copyright claim with the Fair Use Copyright Act. It says the following:

Copyright Disclaimer Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for "fair use" for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research. Fair use is a use permitted by copyright statute that might otherwise be infringing. Non-profit, educational or personal use tips the balance in favor of fair use.

So once you do that, and if it applies to the video, they will bring the audio back! Yea! All of Season 1 is back up as well as eps. 11 & 12. I'll be getting to the rest within the next few weeks.

Awesome.

wha- that's-
I'm lost for words. nothing can explain my happiness.
other than happiness

We'll see if it lasts *knock on wood*

knock on wood?

It's hard to explain. Knock on wood is something you say (and do) when you hope something is going to happen. EXAMPLE:

"I'm gonna go see Metallica this year....knock on wood!" *knocks on wood*

Awesome.

It's a way to not jinx yourself.

I'm going to get dogmeat in the next 30 days. *knock on wood*

I sure am happy they're up on that site and archive.org.
