Someone posted the entire Rocked in Congo DVD on youtube. Wasn’t this DVD supposed to raise money for War child? Now that its posted on youtube ppl can just watch it for free. That’s a bit unfair to me, especially because they nearly got shot for it (forgive me if you think that’s an exaggeration) and now because its posted on youtube it won’t raise much more money.
Also isn’t that a violation of copyright or something?
Anybody agree?

technically, it is a violation of copyright, yes. but then again, it's youtube, and this is the internet. it was bound to show up on here sooner or later

can't you order it on the internet or something. its ok if you can't

"I lost my copy. "

you still bought it though so your fin :grin:


And i've flagged it many many times but they still haven't done anything about it. i think everybody should flag it. maybe theyll eventually notice it. or start sending messages to the person who posted it.

I thought youtube will only take it down if War Child or Sum 41 actually contacts them and tells them they can't use it.

Yeah, go to the contact page of youtube. It will be hard to find where to send an email to or get support because youtube doesn't want to deal with this kind of stuff but, I'm sure theres a link there.

That is bull, dude.

The guy who runs the channel is a member here. I'll track him down and PM him about it. There's a reason why this is his second account under a name like this.
