Stagevu's Goal & Removal of copyrighted videos
Hey everyone,
We're writing today to inform you that we have removed a large quantity of videos from Stagevu during the course of the day. The vast majority of these were removed because they were violating our terms of use - in particular, our terms forbidding the uploading of copyrighted content.
Stagevu was created to give users a way to share high-quality, high-definition videos. We hoped that by making a place where such videos could be uploaded and viewed in their full visual glory without stuttering playback, we would encourage more content creators to care about video quality. After all, their work would no longer be reduced to a blocky mush once it's uploaded.
Uploading copyrighted content without permission simply goes against this goal. It hurts content creators. It is also illegal. We here at Stagevu respect the work, time, and effort that goes into videoing, producing, and editing videos. As a result, we will actively remove copyrighted content as it is identified, just as we have done before.

Re: Stagevu's Goal & Removal of copyrighted videos
Wow this is really screwed up, you guys are removing almost everything sorry but you have really made a big mistake you site will not be worth visiting now, good luck because you will really need it now, i guess you can't remove my public domain stuff so i may have 1000 videos left, really you should have never allowed us to upload copyright content but you did now to do this to everyone is really unfair, I should be allowed to say what I feel about this matter as I am one of the main uploaders here but what will this site be like when 99% of the videos get removed, other sites are not this strict youtube is not even as bad but you have really gone too far, well i'll just say goodbye then thanks for being a great site in the past it's not anymore.

Re: Stagevu's Goal & Removal of copyrighted videos
@FromDaBush: we are only removing the portion of full-length videos that we have identified as copyrighted. These videos constitute a very small minority of videos on Stagevu.
We apologize if many of your videos have been removed, but it is standard practice to remove infringing videos once made aware of their existence. It is both the right thing to do and the law in countries around the world - in other words, we don't have a choice neither.

Re: Stagevu's Goal & Removal of copyrighted videos
PhSource , how do you get notified of copyrighted material ?
You said "to remove infringing videos once made aware of their existence" so is it members notifying you or is it some kind of software or something that detects them ?
FromDaBush had over 1000 -ONE THOUSAND- videos removed just today , Im not sure if they were all at once or throughout the day , but that seems like alot being removed for one user.
There have been times I read of one users "copyrighted" video being removed but the SAME video is still up by another user.
I understand why copyrighted material would be removed just seems some users are being targeted.

Re: Stagevu's Goal & Removal of copyrighted videos
@Administrator I just had 1,300 videos removed so that's not normal, the most I have ever had removed is 250 & that was bad enough, but so many in one second what will I upload here, I know you have to remove something if the copyright holder asks but i think you are using the fingerprint software again & that's not fair we were told it was not going to be used again, anyway my opinion does not matter here I can only say what I think about this matter, but I really don't think this the best thing to be doing the uploaders made this site what it is & with stuff like this happening there will not be many uploaders who will want to upload here because they will think everything will get removed.

Re: Stagevu's Goal & Removal of copyrighted videos
You knew exactly what would be uploaded to this site before it even came online, you know that copyrighted meterial makes up 98% or more of the content at this site, and we know that you were not informed of all the videos that were taken down, we know it was a digital fingerprint scanning program that was used, something you said you were not going to be using anymore.
now, if you want to remove all copyrighted material, then by all means, remove every last piece oif it, you will then see just how much of the content here is from indipendant creators, and you will also see just how few people continue to come here
You make a concious descision and take the effort to open and read any post here. so take what i said for what it was, my personal opinion and nothing more!

Re: Stagevu's Goal & Removal of copyrighted videos
We have no intention of targeting specific users. I understand that a large number of videos of yours have been removed; unfortunately, this is simply the case because we were made aware of the copyrighted status of these videos by the copyright holder. Please keep in mind that all search and browse features available to our users are available to everyone to use. We're sorry for the inconvenience.
If you have any questions concerning this, feel free to contact us directly using our Contact Us form, and we'll respond to any specific questions you may have in as much detail as possible.

Re: Stagevu's Goal & Removal of copyrighted videos
Yes, this is a big NO, NO!
Phsource,
Copyrighted materials make up this site! You don't allow porn or copyrighted material, so what, you expected people to post home made videos of them singing, and river dancing or something?
This was the top site for uploading videos. But, as many others have mentioned before me...this site is loosing it's mojo ALREADY.
Now, I feel bad for giving that one guy a hard time, for complaining about the site's "technical difficulties." Clearly it wasn't the site, just who is behind it. He was onto something, or should I say "before his time" too sound a little more dramatic.
p.s.
How are you guys going to remove part 2 of a video I uploaded, and not the other parts? Just that "one" part violated copyright terms? I can't smell bull, but I can smell the sh!t.

Re: Stagevu's Goal & Removal of copyrighted videos
@Administrator Why did you not title this topic stagvu's goal to screw up everything, I uploaded a file & it was removed 1 hour later this is bloody insane you are using the fingerprint software again, don't use it don't kill this site, keep stagevu alive because it's dying & this only started a few hours ago, so keep things like before or this site is doomed if this continues.

Re: Stagevu's Goal & Removal of copyrighted videos
Snipped is way too slow. It takes like 23 hours to download one video. I had tried it before. ![]()
As for why they delete one part and not all parts of a video. The whole goal is for you to unable to enjoy a complete video hence make you have to go out and buy a real copy. I have seen them do this before even on youtube. They delete one part on purpose yet leave some parts up, serve best for them because it helps promote their material to have a few parts up yet not a complete one. So it pisses you off not being able to watch the full thing and you HAVE to go out and rent/buy one if you want to see a complete video. I have seen other sites turn off the sound on purpose on certain vids, yet leave the image on. Yeah, it's freaking insane.

Re: Stagevu's Goal & Removal of copyrighted videos
@generic Yeah they remove the sound on youtube, it's WMG Warner Music Group.
Because they have the copyright to a hell of a lot of music even the artists who write the music can't even have their videos on youtube anymore because WMG owns the rights to their stuff not the ppl who wrote the music it's a bit screwed up, slipknot, metallica & many more artists can't even share their videos because they are all bound by these stupid laws so they tell everyone to visit their own site to stream their videos.

Re: Stagevu's Goal & Removal of copyrighted videos
came to this site because it has by far the best selection of current and older videos on the web. the DIVX player is great. I search the site periodically for videos imagine my surprise when i logged on and found nothing but trailers! tons of them. so i go to my favorite channel. and i see a note from one uploader to the other about removal and i;m thinking what the world is going on. if you guys will nolonger upload current videos then i will beforced to seek another site please say it isn't so.
