You think heel McMahon is cool? How about heel Rock N Roll Express in a bloodbath against PG-13 with Mark Curtis beating the shit out of everyone? HOW ABOUT THAT?
You want more? How about HEEL Midnight Rockers against the Rock N Roll Express for the AWA World tag titles?
Why did the Rock N' Roll Express never signed with the WWE back in the day? Vince signed every NWA guy from Dusty Rhodes, Ric Flair, Barry Windham and Arn Anderson.
Adsense are notoriously difficult about this kind of thing (moreso than Youtube themselves are). Essentially because you profit from content on the blog, the content shouldn't contain copyrighted material without the appropriate permissions. It's fine if the video was uploaded by the copyright owner though.
Who owns the copyright? That's why WWE hasn't bought the Memphis tapes from Lawler, Jerry Jarrett, or whoever. No one's sure who owns what. It would take a copyright owner claiming infringement, and no one's going to do that.
I still haven't figured out what I have to do to embed video, or what I did wrong the first time I tried it. But when I do, it will be indie wrestling footage a go go.
Heel R&R was awesome! Like you said in a rant about this Scott, they could've taken their heel act to a pre-nWo WCW or pre-Attitude WWF and stayed relevant for a few more years. That was great stuff.
Considering Adsense have been refusing payouts for a whole load of blogs recently, I gave Scott some advice. It's a well known rule of Adsense powered blogs that it's better to not post copyright videos unless they've been uploaded by the copyright holder. It's just generally not worth the headache if they decide to be anal about it. No need to be a sarcastic asshole.
Scott's in Canada. Adsense is in America. International copyright law as it stands is barely more than a handshake agreement at best and nonexistent at worst. He's gonna be ok.
Ricky Morton's heel promo after Mark Curtis almost murdered Randy Hales legit was a thing of beauty too. I wonder if Mark Curtis' use of the spur was inspired by his short stay in ECW?
As for copyright: I know WWE can use some of the Memphis footage since they have shown footage of Lawler and Andy Kaufman in the Best Wrestlers of the 1980s, and some splinter footage of Lawler/Idol VS. The Road Warriors where Hawk no-sold Lawler's piledriver in the LOD DVD set. I'm guessing this falls under the "personal collection" ownership clause.
-There isn't a Memphis "tape library" to buy - Jarrett & Lawler kept very little, and the biggest collection of Memphis-area TV footage is in the personal collection of Jim Cornette. -Everything from before March 1989 is in the public domain, thanks to a loophole in copyright law.
Whoever that Mrs was that fought against the chick who had cancer on TNA last night has a DEADLY ass and I'd love to do her in it.

ReplyDeleteCan't all this illegal YouTube posting affect your ad revenue?
ReplyDeleteWhat exactly is illegal about it?

ReplyDeletePretty sure that was 3/4 of Shawn's diet and the only thing Marty consumed judging by those promos.

ReplyDeleteOh yeah?? Well how about HEEL Hulk Hogan versus Jerry Lawler! Lawler on a HORSE! The Big Legdrop as a TRANSITION MOVE!

By that logic, you shouldn't be able to post a link to anything without the author's permission.
ReplyDeleteDo you also turn off your cell phone in public places, in case you should come across someone with a pacemaker?

ReplyDeleteIts not a law issue. Its an adsense terms and conditions issue
