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.

I want to point out to those who may not realize it, that when Ghislain Rossi said "the annual show of motherf*****.", He was talking about show Les Enfoires. I've also heard of it referred to as "The bastards". The show of course is an effort to help feed the homeless in France.
So what's going on with Requiem? Is this a late attempt to capitalize on the money that could've been made if they or who ever was stricter about copyright violations? If it is, I think it's a bad move. One reason she is still popular today is because of all these fan made videos that are out there.
Or maybe they have future plans for Alizee and they want to crack the whip now with tighter controls instead of waiting for what's coming to actually happen.
Don't know, but I did had a video taken down from Youtube last week by Requiem. It was my 'Six Pack of Alizee' video which I thought was one of my better ones and had been on Youtube for years.
