Recently been Fucked over?

Okay so I know the war between record companies are furious and frantic. I recently got fucked over a fair bit by Universal Records Company for my use of a bunch of songs. As for me, I was perusing the blog of my favorite YouTube user, ShadowLeggy. She had some advice that I am putting up here.

1. Dispute the claim

Which sounds cool since it's worked for other people. At best you get the audio restored, at worst you get a suspension and a total video removal. I may try this and argue that the video was properly credited in the description, and that it was not made for a profit, and provides the company with free publicity.

2. Special YouTube Link

No idea how to do this one since even Lady Shadow had nothing about it on her post. More info when I get it.

3. Leave out the Title and Artist

So basically it's simple, leave nothing creditable in the description or tags. Seems to work though Her Leggyness seemed to encounter trouble one one of her videos. So same advice as #1, do at own risk.

4. Fan Cover

Untested theory, but it's where you try to use a fan based cover of the song. No idea how keen anyone is on that. I doubt I'll try that, while I can sing, I can only play Guitar Hero and Rock Band as opposed to an actual instrument.

5. Don't use Mainstream music

So basically don't use anything the companies will recognize, which is basically anything on the radio. As far as I know this works since none of the videos I've made with anime themes have been touched. 

Anyway, that's pretty much all I wanted to say, I may see if I can put videos up here this way I can at least have the audio last for longer than 24 hours before I become an innocent victim of a war. *le sigh* Until then, arivaderchi my poor friends.

Break

Okay so my winter break went alright, I got some new games to play and clothes to wear. I think I've officially become addicted to Resident Evil during my break. I never really had a chance to play it since I tend to be somewhat scared of horror games. That said, I had an enjoyable time working through Code Veronica X, Outbreak, and 4. On top of that I beat Kingdom Hearts RE:Chain of Memories. Which was fun since now I can use theater mode to watch all my favorite parts again.

So then, for this con that's coming in March I need to come up with a cosplay and I have absolutely no idea who I should do. I was thinking about getting an Organization XIII cloak to start off and give myself some options. My favorite member of the group is Demyx, so I think I'll give him a trail run and see how well I can pull him off. From there, who knows...

That's pretty much my break. Not that exciting, apart from the New Year's party. My friend and I have a tradition of going to the local international market and finding the most disgusting drink we can. Then at her party we all have to drink it. This year it was Jelly Grass Juice, banana flavored. I can honestly say it wasn't the worst thing I've ever tried. Shows how well my tradition goes.

From the top of Shin-Ra, this is your humble Turk signing out for right now.
