UPLOADING OF COPYRIGHTED MATERAL caps :)

[Captain Colon]

For the "epic music" thread and any other music thread, would it be cool if we uploaded short samples (like the kind you can find on last.fm or amazon) as examples of what we're suggesting?

i have no problem with it, amazon does it. But I'm not well versed in such rules so wait for the other mods to approve before you do anything

Fair call, boss.

[Evil Superstar]

I wouldn't mind, possibly use a YouTube link if you can.

What if I upload 3:45 minutes of a 3:46 song?

[pk!]

Then you'd be breaking the Prime Directive: "Do Not Take The Piss" :)

[GusButts]

I'd still win right?

[Evil Superstar]

Honestly? I think I remember reading somewhere that there is a 30 sec maximum on these kind of things. I could be wrong though.

[GusButts]

What if I upload 30 seconds of a 31 second song?

Then the RIAA will convince the White House that Al Qaida is in fact led by a Canadian named Gus! PREPARE TO BE INVADED!

[GusButts]

The RIAA doesn't apply within the nation that is Canada!

Al-Qanaeda!

[Evil Superstar]

As if that ever stopped them!

[GusButts]

They'll never find the hole I hide in!

Captain Colon?

Short samples like the ones CC suggested in his OP would be fine as far as I'm concerned.

[Modest Genius]

I believe you're allowed to use up to 30secs to illustrate the song/style under fair use

[SOCOM-DELTA]

AFAIK the best thing to do would be to go to a website that sells the song, download their sample, then upload it here... or just link to the URL of the sample.
