Forum:Music Videos: Where are we going?

I'm wondering what's going on with the Music Videos project. What are we planning to do with it? Are we thinking of making it a source of all Digimon music ever published, with links to videos and tracks, like this, but w/ video links? I know that most of it hasn't been updated in a while, and I'm willing to contribute (album art, track listing, links, etc.) when I have the time. I'm just wondering what our goals for it are.

On another note, should it have standards that should be put into the guidelines that Kryten is working on? Rad140 Dear vandal, I'm not afraid to rollback your ass.   04:22, October 5, 2009 (UTC)
 * On a side note... I guess I agree with the recent editor about not linking to the songs themselves.  But I don't mind having at least a dedicated list of everything. Lanate (talk) 21:58, November 3, 2009 (UTC)
 * Aren't the songs we are linking to suitably modified or cropped enough that we can use them under fair use? 13:51, November 4, 2009 (UTC)
 * Actually... No. Aside from a slight decrease in quality from being uploaded, they're full songs. Lanate (talk) 01:58, November 5, 2009 (UTC)
 * Okay:


 * 1) Is foreign material still copyrighted in America? I know for a fact that Japan likes to take advantage of American copyrights not carrying over to Japan, what about the reverse?
 * 2) How far does fair use carry in this circumstance?
 * 3) If we don't do the full videos (which honestly, I'm fine with), do we want to do clips, sound clips (I've had bad experience with ogg, though), or simply links to an amazon page (which usually has the sound clips and is fully legal)? 02:07, November 5, 2009 (UTC)


 * Sorry for not being online for so long.
 * In my opinion, since we have this copyright issue, why don't we simply play it safe until we bring up with someone who knows the answer to the above questions? Let's do the third option for now. We can remove the full songs, but what about the TV size ones? Do they count as violating anything? - 06:24, November 5, 2009 (UTC)

1. I'm not sure. I would assume unless found otherwise. 2. Episode recaps would constitute fair use; entire, full versions of copyrighted songs, probably not. 3. We could do sound clips, but that sounds like a lot of work. We could link to Amazon pages in the album list.

I think we should remove all video clips, except for the TV size ones from the episodes, just to be safe. Rad140 Message 17:56, February 6, 2010 (UTC)
