I'm not a follower of K-POP at all, but this is so outrageously kitsch and funny, I just had to do it. (OK, I admit it, I'm addicted to GANGNAM STYLE

That's strange, because the YT post is from the copyright holder himself (PSY) so there shouldn't be any rights issues. I don't understand your GEMA organization.This video is unavailable
Unfortunately, this video is not available in Germany because it may contain music for which GEMA has not granted the respective music rights.

Strange that your GEMA allows this pirated low-quality version to be played, but not the high-quality original version. Go figure!
OK. I think that's one version the world can do without! (BTW, thanks for implanting that image into my mind! ... NOT!t00fri wrote: I also do GANGNAM STYLE in the shower...

Fridger,
did you ever try the Firefox add-on named "Stealthy"?
It works perfectly for me. No problem anymore with youtube in Germany.

to use a ww-II analogy your "GEMA" is worse that the old SS was

Oh yes, that is an important remark. Of course I'd always keep Stealthy de-activated until I need it for watching a specific video on youtube and then only activate it for a short time.t00fri wrote:The free stealthy version does NOT use private proxies, but public ones over which the add-on has no control. Hence during the time when stealthy is active (green icon) home banking, for example, bears considerable dangers!
Well, I'm certainly not an expert for that kind of legal issues. However, naively thinking of what Stealthy does, I don't see how I'm in conflict with German legislation.t00fri wrote:Moreover, I am uncertain whether using stealthy encounters some legal issues in Germany, the consequences of which are hard to estimate.

The subject is also frequently discussed in the web, see e. g. here:

That doesn't matter. What matters is that you have necroposted far too many times. In fact, if you were doing this on the KSP forums, you would have been banned already since they have a rule against necroposting. We have also been discussing an anti-necromancing rule here, and you will be affected if you don't stop.Joey P. wrote:I'm not trolling...
