copyrights-infringement all over the place

[virgin-burner 1]

got this video from an upcoming skybrother about a dodgy pyramid-scam, snowball-chain-thingy..

let's see how many of you claim sequences of those video's to be theirs, i'm absolutely SURE, i've seen at least one clip that is being marketed for "isagenix". also, "ISA", is a swiss brand known for their underwear. i bet they would mind too!

so, here goes: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nG-Wy4IeB9w

Point? if it is on Youtube, ya pretty much gave it away, unless it is legally copy righted!

Everything created post 1989 is "legally copyrighted."
Filling out an SR or GR/VA is more or less a waste of time for the average creative, but copyright is fixed the instant the work exists in a tangible form (ie; hard drive, tape, or paper).

Skydiving has its fair share of copyright infringements. Think of all that background music used in tandem videos that is SOLD to the student.

I know some of the people involved in this. I'm not going to comment on the copyright stuff and don't want to make any judgments on "ISA Adventure Team" as a whole but I do think it's unfortunate that MLM/Pyramid scheme shit is being associated with skydiving. When skydivers/BASE jumpers use their sports as a promotional tool to fleece people of their money it hurts the image of parachuting in general.

I ask you also. Where is the MLM apparent?

I guess it's not obvious from that video but the founder of the ISA group has been knee-deep in various MLMs for quite a while. I'm not sure if ISA itself is a MLM (or just a vehicle to steer people towards MLM) but if you go to their website and click the "wealth" button it basically reads like a pitch for another pyramid scheme.

That is a going to be an increasingly important problem as less and less CD and online 'sales' take place, The music companies need thier coin from somewhere so...

I'm glad I have good royalty free music to use, thanks to the realXstream editing program that I am using..

I have seen companies actually advertise for 'choose your own music' which I find is quite an magnet for legal problems.

mike's a really cool and nice guy; i like him a lot!
how's the latest version anyway, he told me all sorts of good stuff about it..

and stacey, it is kind of very obvious that it IS a pyramid-scam.. i got a lot of respect for you, but if you're anything smart.. well, you get the idea!

I fly for a living, and when I'm stuck sitting at a Fixed Base Operation waiting for people to show I'll pick up one of the various magazines that markets itself to the ultra rich decadent lifestyle (Jetset, Elite Traveler, etc). More often lately I'm seeing ads for things like this, adventure clubs designed to be exclusively available to the people of means with a sense of adventure. I can't remember if ISA is the one I saw last night.

We take it to PM ok? or nail it on the forum, up to you. I do think it sounds a bit like Scientology but I did jump from John Travolta´s ex plane so it aint so bad or isit?
Take care thank you for responding.
