Linking to openings

[rockersk08]

I put this question on the talk page of Project Music, but since I have not gotten a response, I'll ask it again. I noticed that none of the English openings have any external links to a video. YouTube links were taken out, and although I do get why, the Project Music page mentions that a YouTube link is okay. I know the Japanese openings are linked to the filb.de website. Is there an equivalent for the English ones?

Hrm. I'm pretty sure links are generally not okay to copyrighted material that's not used appropriately. Someone can check me on that though.

I am inclined to think openings by themselves fall under fair use.

 

[TTEchidna]

So do I. It's not like it's the whole show, it's the opening sequence that precedes it. It's little more than an ad for it.

i think if we are going to link to a YT video featuring the openings, i think itd be better to link to a known channel, rather than a random upload on a random channel. i know BGM has a YT channel, can it host openings to link to? (as well as maybe other things like the Pokerap?)

But from what I've seen, deletes of the videos have happened before, even after the user stated all the copyright.

What does YT mean? I'm not against linking to youtube.

What you said - YT is YouTube.

 

[MAGNEDETH]

yes. but what im saying is instead of linking to a random persons channel, cant we upload some good quality videos to the BMGf channel, and link to them?

 

[$aturn¥oshi]

I don't think so. Unless the copyright holders upload the videos to a channel of their own.

 

[TTEchidna]

Well we could ask them to. Anyone got the number of the production company and a good knowledge of Japanese?

Ok ok, i thought it was some American TV station.
