- zinekeller 6y agoThe problem is that Universal is the owner of the copyrights (including the lyrical and syncronisation copyrights), and this is DMCA we're talking about. This would end up differently in Europe or UK (the original authors are irrevocably entitled to some percentage of the revenue, typically 5%) but DMCA is based on American laws (which do not have these protections).
- mnd999 6y agoRight but surely his recording contract with Universal would allow him to perform his songs.
- zinekeller 6y agoIn a commercial context?
- est31 6y agoMaybe even in a commercial context. In fact it's quite likely that concerts get treated specially. The issue is, these automated censorship tools don't encode the nuanced clauses of such contracts. They err on the side of banning, even if it's perfectly legitimate. Also IMO in the digital age it's so stupid that teachers can't even read a book to children via Zoom without a license...
- wbl 6y agoConcerts are commercial contexts.
- aidenn0 6y agoProbably live performances, but not on video recording
- colejohnson66 6y agoGenuine question: where’s the line? Because he’s still playing it live (live streaming). Is it just the act of being recorded?
- shawnz 6y agoAren't they signed to Universal?
