What's going on with alizee?
For a few weeks, we have received outraged messages that many videos posted on you tube and others are gradually disappearing. Some believe that this policy is not to help alizée. Actually, it's the opposite. An artist needs to sell his works and collect rights to survive. So far, there has been a let, a laxity at all levels. Since 2016, alizée had no label or intellectual property protection. The problem has been solved for a few weeks. A company, believe music, was chosen by Requiem Publishing to ensure fair remuneration. The Records of an artist, if they are all available, do not sell anymore. If you like the artist, it is not enough to like social networks: the purchase gesture is necessary. The Disc, in any form, is not a charity but an income... the live show obeys the same logic: if you do not buy your tickets, the concert simply cancels out because neither Artist, neither the producer nor the tourneur or organizer can cope with the multiple loads that weigh on them. Another thing is the annual show of motherfuckers whose profits go to the restaurants of the heart. All this is to say that, given the recent events concerning a musical return of alizée, a professional protection policy has been implemented and that it is nothing to do with alizée. This protection also covers the albums of the period after mylène farmer that is the 4 ALBUMS FROM 2008 to 2014, all redeemed by Requiem Publishing. It is therefore essential that all channels you tube (and others) but also fb serious pages (there will always be pages to try to break law, seeking more self-Promotion Than Promotional Aid: they will be early or Late targeted by the same provisions and constraints to disappear) collaborate with this new orientation. Only a few pages have permission (referral to another post announcement). In any event, all partner groups will ensure that video shares are monitored. It would be nice for an English-speaking administrator and a Spanish language to translate this long text. Thank you for your collaboration.

That is why I have software to download YouTube and FB videos to my hard drive and grab them as fast as I can.
There has been a lot of buzz the last year about the infrared technology that might start being implemented in the newest phones that will allow performing artists to have video taking capabilities disabled when phones are pointing toward the stage. The justification was that poor quality videos were being put on YouTube and elsewhere that does not accurately reflect the actual performance, such as when the video has poor sound quality.
Of course, this kind of technology is 1984-ish. The ability to cripple videos can take on a more sinister purpose if one can recall all the injustices that videos taken by bystanders have revealed.
