  • Universal Music Publishing Group took down the video and issued a copyright strike on May 2nd. However, videos of Don Henley talking about their group of 60 employees whose sole job is to scour the internet for Eagles content to remove, is the reasoning for the wording in our video & posts. This happens far more frequently with Eagles than the majority of other bands, leading to the natural conclusion that they are fully aware and responsible for this.

    I will never understand the record company thinking on this. As you said, if someone is really serious about wanting to only hear a song, they go to the label site where it plays, usually with a video, uninterrupted and free- so how does that help artists or record companies. But more important, how many people have discovered a song on a reaction channel, then gone somewhere to buy and download that song, thereby earning the record company AND the artist money they never would have had without the reaction. Yet they want to shut down reactions? What?!?! If I was an artist I'd want hundreds of reaction videos to promote my song (with interruptions so people can't use it as free downloads). WTF?

After watching a reaction, if someone wasn't familiar with the song or artist being reacted to & really liked it, that might encourage them to download (pay for) the song (or even an entire album), which puts money in both the artists & the music company's pockets.

      Yeah if I were in a band, I would not care. As many RUclipsrs wanted to play the bands songs? We would take it. However, its the band and labels, not so much the industry as an entity that push back like this. Although you make the socially popular point that bands hurt themselves for restricting their exposure to fans otherwise they make not get. That is not how the artists or the production companies see it. What they see is someone profiting from their music without consent, and they will call it stealing, taking money away from them. Getting fans is not the concern, particularly from older artists, it is that someone is making money off of their music.

    Thanks to your reaction, I have returned more than once to the artists and songs I listened to as a teenager 25 years ago. Often the next day, while driving, for example, in a car, I listened on Spotify to the artists whose songs you reacted to, at the same time the labels earned money on these plays on spotify, so there was a benefit for them. Today's studio people are just morons. All the best for you.

    It's because of reactors like you guys that I have gone out and purchased more songs from many artists that you have covered. You have introduced me to music and artists that I otherwise would never had listened to. They're shooting themselves in the foot by limiting/striking down these reaction channels, as they expose audiences to many artists' catalogues of work, thereby shutting off a potential revenue stream for themselves. Reactors provide "free advertising" in a sense for these record labels, but they don't see that - they only see an ill-perceived "loss" of $ by having people listen to their songs for free. Everything's a money-grab these days, unfortunately.

    • @bradsense7431

      Joe I agree 100%. I have often after watching a reaction video delved into an artist catalog and gained a greater appreciation of the artist which should absolutely be beneficial to the label or artist. It will result in greater revenue in the long run so I like you see this a so short sighted and as you say shooting themselves in the foot.

      RUclips is free advertising for the artists -- the SAME THING that radio airplay is meant for. Reactors provide new exposure to older artists -- artists that are no longer big earners for the record companies. So with each copyright strike the record companies are saving pennies, while sacrificing hundreds of dollars due to the lost exposure. The music industry has always been blind to any alternative form of marketing, other than the now-broken system they cooked up 80 years ago.

      They could just sit there and talk about a song they heard the other day, but that's not really what people are doing here, they also want to hear the song, and it's really the reason why people come to this channel. Just see how many views they'd have if they sat there "reacting" to dirty diapers or not getting any sleep or anything in their own life. These two know they can't make very much money that way so they make it on musicians copyrighted recordings instead, and they don't pay for it. I notice movie reactors only play a fraction of a movie, they don't play an entire movie, but music reactors do play the whole song. Maybe they should only play a fraction of the song. Obviously something needs to be figured out between RUclips reactors not paying for the music through which they make their income.

I don't understand the objections by copyright holders. The songs are interrupted and maybe talked over. How could they lose money from reaction channels, or make money without them? Why are they so pigheaded about it?
      I've heard and bought quite a few songs/albums since the 70s. Even so, there are many songs I've never heard before watching reaction channels. I may even buy some of them. Reaction channels are like free advertisement. Maybe reactions channels should get paid by the copyright holders for the free ads. 😉

      @@LinkRocks It's funny how even the hardest core capitalists can cry and moan about stuff like this. And this channel is definitely home to the "there's no free lunch" crowd. So why would someone here expect to get something for nothing?

      ​@@LinkRocksNo one is listening to songs via reactions instead of music streaming platforms, they just don't want people profiting off their content, simple.

      Realistically that is a long process and roll of the dice. They need a plan that doesn’t rely on suing a giant corporation like Google…

      There’s nothing they can do legally, anybody suggesting they lawyer up is essentially telling them to flush their money down the toilet

      ​@@surlechapeauif they reached out to other reactors or had a broader sense of awareness, they would've known that the Eagles are a no go, period. Other bands and media outlets might let things slide, but not the Eagles.
      People think fair use protects people like RUclips creators but it's in place to protect the copyright holders. The only reason more people don't get strikes is because the copyright holder CHOOSES not to enforce it. Everyone's seen "we reserve the right to" signs in stores and such, fair use works in this way. The owner can choose to let you use the work, choose to take the money for your content that uses their work, or choose to strike your channel for using their work. Simple as that.
