So I have to try and get up at 5 am for live streams and hope that the opera finishes before I have to get kids to sport or go to work. It's so dog in the manger of them. BTW iOpera.s' vimeo has also been removed since they posted the WHOLE of Trovatore.mamascarlattihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04202387219221445872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9856058.post-43458485142227190952013-07-20T13:30:15.482-04:002013-07-20T13:30:15.482-04:00One of my all time favorite posts was the comparis...One of my all time favorite posts was the comparison of various people singing the main aria from I Puritani.

So I changed the tags the other day to make them right. I must have hit "save" instead of "publish" after I updated the tags... Oops. But still, they (the BSO) are tough!Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16322512607114908183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9856058.post-79135589226324009642013-07-18T23:01:52.279-04:002013-07-18T23:01:52.279-04:00P.S.

Just this evening, I noticed that four of my six BSO blog posts had reverted to drafts, including a very nice review I wrote of Der Fliegene Hollander. Now, I get clumsy sometimes, but it seems very interesting and more than coincidental that all four of those "went away" at the same time. hmmmm...Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16322512607114908183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9856058.post-69360581942553805762013-07-17T21:00:06.451-04:002013-07-17T21:00:06.451-04:00This is aggravating my natural paranoia.This is aggravating my natural paranoia.Dr.Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02298893523780056481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9856058.post-32143244643213787512013-07-17T07:16:53.927-04:002013-07-17T07:16:53.927-04:00It appears we can establish a rule.

I enjoyed sharing clips, and when they cut me off, they also deleted the files I DO own the rights to. I actually wrote a post about it, but decided not to post it at the time. <br /><br />You asked, “how is someone to know?” We can’t unless we assume, like they say, that anything you didn’t personally film with your own camera (and isn’t of other people you don’t know performing) is illegal. Another blogger advised that it varies. Sometimes video clips are OK, and some audios are not. <br /><br />I got taken down by a lethal combination of the Bavarian State Opera and the Berlin Philharmonic; both organizations fiercely guard their mechanical rights. I argued to YT that I was happy to remove anything they asked me to. And they insisted that all decisions were final.<br /><br />Coloraturafan is right that Google is very hard to convince to give a second chance. Also, my blog is on blogspot which, guess what, is also Google. So I gave up the fight rather quickly.<br /> <br />I agree with you about the exposure that classical music, and particularly opera needs. And for most folks, the presence of an opera video on YT will not necessarily keep them from buying a DVD. On the contrary, I’ve purchased several DVDs after watching chopped up versions of them there. Incidentally, Thomas Hampson agrees with you too. He calls classical music a "right" and has commented that he’d rather the music have the exposure, than to chase down people for copyright infringement: http://regieornotregie.blogspot.com/2013/04/the-accessible-thomas-hampson-classical.html <br />Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16322512607114908183noreply@blogger.com
