Uploading songs - Policy

Cali · 09-11-2005, 07:08 PM

emmett,

i'm confused about the policy for uploading songs. i know that we can't upload released songs, or songs from benefit concerts or realeased colaborations. but what about non-realeased songs or regular shows? can you explain this? i'm confused

I'm not exactly sure on the rules here on EF, but how it usually goes in music forums is anything that is from an album or officially released somewhere isn't allowed to be posted. Anything that is from a live show or live recording (even if it's an "unreleased" track) can be posted, unless the artist himself comes out and says not to.

please don't post anything that might get us in trouble... so nothing that has been officially released and is available to be bought elsewhere... and nothing that is unreleased (whether live or not)... if you want to link to a track that damien played in a radio session or something then that's fine... i just don't want to upset either the band, the management or the record company

thanks emmett but i'm still kind of confused. that means that songs like woman like a man or sex change should not be uploaded but a live version of volcano would be fine?

well if it was a good, clear version of volcano that the band wouldn't hate, then i'm sure that it would be okay for you to link to. but no posting sex change for instance. i just don't want to upset anyone, and the record company asked us to remove a link someone had posted to an unreleased track once, so i wouldn't like for that to have to happen again.
