As a musician friend recently stated when someone ripd music to put to video montage "YouTube is the intellectual property wild west and chances are they are just big fans of the music."

There is no way the stream would NOT be rippd for upload, sooner or later, crappy audio or HQ.

No, it's not just you.

I've never been around such a large group of drama queens on the internet.

The forum of any video game is far worse than any Stevie fans could ever aspire to be!

there's HQ version on you tube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WZifu4hFKiU

These are ripped from a CD. Couldn't they wait ONE WEEK after the album was out? And I know this beyonceshusband guy from youtube. He's been uploading Stevie videos for a long time, and whenever some of his videos are taken down, he reuploads them again. He is obviously a fan, so why does he do this!? Maybe somebody should try to contact him.

I like watching Stevie videos on Youtube.

It's a good resource imo.

Me too. I like watching everything on youtube, but this is really not the right time. It could hurt her sales, which could hurt her ego, which could make her stop recording. I mean, we were waiting 10 years for a new album, and I am sure that the low sales of TISL and SYW had much to do with it. She is almost 63. She is not going to be able to do this much longer. Fans are buying multiple copies of IYD, and somebody who obviously is a fan is doing the opposite.

Well the problem wasn't that they didn't sell well, the problem is that she was tired from touring and her label told her it was pointless right? I remember her saying if she hadn't been so tired she would have fought back harder.

And honestly....most of her fans have bought multiple copies. There's nothing saying that this person hasn't either right? And also, exposure on Youtube could be good for getting people who don't know Stevie to listen to this album, which could equal new fans and more sales for Stevie. It could be a good thing.

His message is a bunch of BS, idiot

I seriously just laughed out loud at this. I'm sure Stevie's publicist wanted this person to upload what sounds like a recorded version of the songs being played from the speakers that sound like pure sh*t. What a bunch of bull.

You all need to chill. Working yourselves into a panic for youtube uploads when it's already on RS to stream AND already leaked ELSEWHERE is just silly.
This happens with every album in the world,I wouldn't worry about lost sales. 'No publicity is bad publicity' and that kinda stuff. .
Overprotective.

[Jondalar]

Dave is sending in his forces to stop it, SO STOP IT! This is a great album, it deserves to be payed for.

As much as I disagree with posting it up because the album has not been released yet, he and the other posts of the songs to YouTube are not posting download links for the songs.

So, in that case, they are only in violation of posting copyrighted material and not for making it available for illegal download.
