(Music Publishing Rights Collecting Society Claims Copyright to The Devil Wears Prada’s video shot by me. That so strange because we didn’t notice any suits there and, in fact, TDWP couldn’t even get booked to a stage that year. Although EVERONE wanted a piece of them the following year. I’m thinking this mysterious MPRSC (maybe connected with YouTube…maybe not is looking for a way to capitalize on amateurs they assume are suckers. They picked the wrong person here. I’ve been a graphic designer for 20+ years and knowing copyright law has been critical to staying on top of my game. So, BRING ‘EM ON!)
Recently discovered that there was a copyright dispute on my video. The Music Publishing Rights Collecting Society, who nobody has ever heard of, claim right to what is OWNED BY The Devil Wears Prada who have graciously allowed me to post their amazing performances as well as granted & special access to the stage to videotape most of their shows that I am able to attend.
The video hasn’t been disabled but since the copyright was misidentified and some pretty dicey “sponsored content” was thus being posted alongside I have disputed the claim and YouTube/Google may just disable my video if this fake claimant is worth $$ to them. YouTube did not respond to my inquiry before I filed the dispute. So, let’s see what happens. It would sure suck pond water if my million plus views went down the YouTUBES.
All the love my friends!
God bless.

P.S. I found that this has happened to quite a few YouTubers who are afraid to speak out or dispute for fear of their videos being disabled or channels wiped out. Don’t let this happen to this video or my channel. Get the word out faster than YouTube can shut me down if, indeed that is what they will do. I hope it’s paranoia on the part of the posts I’ve read but, it’s not paranoia if they REALLY are out to getcha. :)

*The Devil Wears Prada @ Cornerstone (Texas is South+)*
This is the best of several generator stage performances by these amazing guys from Dayton, Ohio at Cornerstone 2006.
Despite my amateur status, that I was behind the speakers & the fact that my camera is designed for shooting stills, not video, I’m okay with the final product. This is primarily due to the grace of God & the amazing, energetic performance by the guys.
