He went searching for beats he could license on YouTube. Verdes notes in the interview that he basically set out to become a pop star, and explored how best to use social media to do so. That wasn’t even remotely possible until recently. Verdes can now partner with them, as he is, but it appears to be much more on his own terms, rather than theirs. The record labels are no longer the gatekeepers they once were. But the story of Verdes was fun to listen to in showing just how different things are. Slowly, but surely, the industry has been dragged into the internet era (still kicking and screaming, and demanding things like surveillance upload filters).

They freaked out at the idea of anyone anywhere ever giving away any music for free, and whined that those who experimented with giving stuff away for free “devalued” the music. Two decades ago, the recording industry still insisted that the internet’s only purpose was to destroy the “music industry” (they meant the recording industry, but they like to mix up the two). The story covers how he became massively popular while he was still working in a Verizon store.īut the thing that struck me as much more interesting is listening to it and realizing just how much the world of becoming a pop star has changed in the last two decades. It actually appears to be a rerun of a different podcast, called Switched On Pop, which originally ran back in December of last year, but I first heard it on Planet Money. There was recently an absolutely fascinating episode of the NPR podcast Planet Money, all about how Tai Verdes became a pop star. So as it stands now, this all looks like Nintendo pissing on the legs of its fans without any good reason.įiled Under: copyright, dmca, music, takedownsįri, Apr 29th 2022 03:38pm - Mike Masnick But this DMCA blitz on game music, as noted earlier, has been going on for several years now.

Perhaps Nintendo has plans to offer some way to stream music from its games that hasn’t been made public yet. “Why don’t they let people pay to listen to this stuff, everybody wins,” said another. Even Disney has the decency to do both,” said one fan on the Restera forum. “It really makes me wonder why Nintendo still hasn’t created their own VEVO channel or addEd OSTs to music streaming services. Nintendo is removing access to this beloved music without bothering to offer its own method for listening to it. The reaction to all of this from fans of Nintendo’s games and their music has been fairly uniform: confusion mixed with irritation. I'm sorry to everyone who enjoys their music but I don't have much choice. With 500+ claims and a dozen soundtracks blocked over the last week it's pretty clear they don't want their music on YouTube. DeoxysPrime, given the pressure from the DMCA takedowns, is simply going to remove all Nintendo music from his/her channel.Įffective immediately I will be removing all Nintendo music from my channel. The company recently got over 500 of these music-only videos removed from YouTube, largely all uploaded by one user again, DeoxysPrime. The music videos don’t compete with Nintendo, in other words, but the company refuses to allow the public to consume them.Īnd this is still going on. In other words, the public wants a product of Nintendo that it doesn’t directly sell or make available, but Nintendo refuses to also let the internet fill this need free of charge. What’s important to keep in mind with all of this is that, other than basically some music from some Pokemon games, Nintendo does not make this music available elsewhere for streaming. That last one mostly targeted a single YouTube account, that of GilvaSunner, who later shut down his account due to all this nonsense. This has been something Nintendo has ramped up over the years, taking down 100 videos in 2019, more than that in 2020, and then over 1,300 in 2022. Thu, Jun 2nd 2022 01:58pm - Timothy GeignerĮarlier this year, we discussed Nintendo - dubbed by me as “the Disney of video gaming” - having gone on a DMCA blitz on YouTube videos that are essentially just new and classic video game music.
