AMIT TV

Thanks Guys!  Gives me some enthusiasm to continue with it! 

I'm amazed how quickly YT or the record companies move to Ban a vid you post, any insights on how this happens?

Yeah Fletch. They have instant, digital audio/video recognition software for (mainly but not exclusively) hit singles/best-selling and multiple copy-righted, releases. Some artists almost entire catalog is banned. They use similar but much more developed types of digital software recognition as the fairly basic ones which search engines use to point us to sites by us typing certain words etc. I suspect it recognizes lyrics or word patterns and then converts it to text before it decides which ones to allow and which ones to flag.

I must admit I have been holding my breath since Mark signed his new deal with UMG, as their artists seem to feature regularly in collaboration vids we have had banned.
Copyright changes from YT last year placed 35 previously cleared videos onto the "flagged for 3rd party content" list

One example is this: AMIT TV (0044) - Banned

You'd think that living in Antarctica one of the perks should be unblocked YT content ?

Thanks for the painstaking uploads and info SL, it's an epic project !

So why bother and list all countries and not saying "The whole wide world"?

Even the Marshall Islands!  Oh no!!!

Sint Maarten too!  Sounds awfully like Saint Maarten...

Yes jbaent you'd think that it would be easier to say "This video is only available in (Countries ..............) and leave it at that!

Wow! Reached 100! (OK, some 11 are missing due to copyright). So here it is for another 100! SL, thank you for the work you've been doing. Some of the videos I never knew or seen before!

[shangri la 1]

  Thanks vgonis. I am working on ways to edit the banned videos in an effort to remove the material which caused it to be banned in the first place.  It will take some time though. Some though will need be so heavily edited they won't be worthwhile doing.

SL1, may I suggest uploading them at a tracker instead?  (I believe that many of them videos were at the DVD collections at Spanish city)

By the way, with all these strikes from youtube, is there any kind of penalty, ban? I thought you are only allowed 2 mistakes-warnings every 6 months! The third comes with a ban...

Good idea vgonis. I have thought of making a batch of DVD's with all past releases, or one with just the banned videos only, at some later stage. As a lot of the content is from the OUATITTV series that Fran produced we shouldn't have any banning problems at SC tracker at least.

Not sure how the copyright issue is managed by YT. We have had 30-40 videos flagged for some reason or other and our ability to upload longer videos has been removed, but they still allow most of the flagged videos to be shown.

AMIT TV SCHEDULE FOR OCTOBER 2013

[vgonis]

Thank you SL! Great videos, some I have never seen.
BTW, back in 1991, I was video taping much of MTV, in anticipation of OES. Got some interview snippets from MTV, but in poor quality, since the signal was bad. I think that I may have transfered them into a DVD somewhere. Would you like me to db them and see if you can get something out of them? I don't know whats out there and probably all of them are already out...

[shangri la 1]

Thanks vgonis,
Yes always happy to add clips to the database. Since starting AMIT TV last year we have updated quite a few of the published videos with newer better audio & picture quality from different eras etc so anything you are willing to share would be greatly appreciated.

Hope I'm wrong, but this new Pacific rim trade pact may, I suspect spell the end of AMIT TV & most other music sharing activities using the internet. Europe & UK not included yet but as the USA is one of the nations participating there could be a flow on impact?
