Rob (zodiakironfist) involved in YouTube/UMG/Warner tirade!

[ChorusPedal88]

Rob is a very talented metal bass player and I subscribed to his videos a while ago, he has an awesome sound with his Rickenbacker

Basically they have removed his bass covers of some Chilli Peppers/Black Sabbath/Sublime/Rush basically some of his favourite tunes to play.

Its a damn shame, we're not even allowed to play along to some of our favourite tunes now and put'em up, its apparently "theft".

Interesting post.

I'm no lawyer, but wouldn't that be a violation of fair use? The only argument I can really see them making is that he's using the original artist's material in the video if he's playing along to the song(s).
