Guest JohnUlmer Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 (edited) This happened a little while ago, actually. I wanted to put The Blues on my profile, and I noticed that other people had done similar things by signing up GN'R music accounts and uploading songs. I would never upload studio material for copyright reasons, but I figured live tracks were alright and it wouldn't be a problem. I also figured if there were some kind of issue, I'd happily delete the files.Anyway, I created a Guns N' Roses music page and uploaded The Blues from Boston '02. I put it on my profile. The next day the GN'R page I created was gone.This was in my inbox:Hello,MySpace has deleted your profile because we received a credible complaint of copyright/trademark infringement or otherwise determined that materials posted on your profile violated the intellectual property rights of third parties.MySpace's terms and conditions prohibit the posting of any materials that infringe upon the intellectual property rights of third parties.If we delete your account you cannot recover it.Thank you,MySpace.comI wouldn't have created the page if I had known it was an infringement to upload live tracks, but I am kind of surprised that the page was deleted so swiftly. Keep in mind there are many GN'R profiles on MySpace with illegally uploaded studio tracks that have not been deleted. Some of them have been online over a year.I wonder if someone involved in the GN'R camp was responsible for having this so swiftly removed because it is "new" material? I can't see why someone else would report my page and not report all the dozens and dozens of other GN'R pages.Anyway, I just thought I'd share my experience here.One thing's for sure - I won't be making any more music accounts on MySpace. I guess I'll just have to live with the GN'R songs that are already on there. Edited January 20, 2006 by JohnUlmer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FernandoL Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 I dont see the harm, all true GnR fans have songs like the Blues-IRS-Madagascar-CD.You cant stop the spread once it starts so why bother?Why not embrace the fact that most fans fucking love the songs and let them be?!To Axls lawyers " i have bootlegs and i listen and pass them on so fucking sue me you suit wearing pond life" Dr GOAB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mynameisjonas Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 that would explain why the "official" GN'R myspace was shut down a couple months ago! they had Chinese Democracy, the new SCOM and a new live NR. hmmm...but what's weird is, i have the blues as my background song and i haven't gotten anything. it's probably cause it's just a regular account or somethin. well, this is certainly interesting. perhaps Guns camp is making a REAL one.

Axl-rocks Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 i don't see why your myspace was closed down cos you had 'the blues' on it, if it was IRS then I would understand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest JohnUlmer Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 I wonder if someone involved in the GN'R camp was responsible for having this so swiftly removed because it is "new" material?

And they were contacted by management to have you removed from there?Perhaps this has something to do with it.*sigh* Not this again. First of all, as I pointed out before, I posted a disclaimer on the page saying I wasn't Axl because so many people thought I was. And a few months ago I changed it to a "fanspace" and make it even more clear that I'm not Axl.I created that page as a way of gather GN'R fans on MySpace and trying to spread news on CD. For example, I posted a bulletin earlier this week with a link to the new Axl interview and pics.Anyway, if that were the reason for the page's deletion, they would have deleted the Axl page, too. It's still there:http://www.myspace.com/estrangedfromrealityNotice the page title - W. Axl Rose Fan Page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest JohnUlmer Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 Your lucky it didnt turn into a legal issue. Could that have happened? I dont know shit about this kind of thing.I don't think so. Not considering how many illegal GN'R accounts there are on MySpace. I honestly didn't think uploading a live bootleg track would be considered copyright violation -- I don't think they'd turn it into a legal issue unless I were to continue creating accounts uploading the song over and over.

mr-fukaji Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 If its a Music Profile for the band you created, they dont allow that anyway, all music pages have to be by the band/managment, and not fan created, unless it has some sort of endorsment or link with the band.

agoraphobicwhacko Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 You mygnr people have some strange conspiracy theories. I highly doubt that Axl gives a flying fuck about people posting bad quality bootlegs on myspace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
