I’m still waiting for youtube to send me my nasty gram for my vids. I don’t think enough people know about mine….hehehehehe…..

I spoke with Marion Shafer (Art of the Catwalk in Tallahassee) and she recorded the West Coast USPDF performances and posted them on YT. They are not the best quality, but she said that Wendy and Anna and YT tried to threaten her to remove the videos, and she said she emailed them back saying legally they do not own her footage, and can not make her remove the video. I don’t have the email she sent back to wendy and anna or YT claiming that they have no legal right to make her remove her videos, but when I told her all of yours have been taken down, she told me that they legally can’t tell you all to remove them because it’s your footage. I need to ask her what exactly she said in her email, because her West Coast USPDF video is still up…if you gals want to (and I think you all should) email her and ask her how she was able to keep her video up, she’s on facebook, and here is her YT channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/marionshafer

Did the West coast event post any policies about no video taping allowed? I thought I heard that it was "not allowed" at the finals and that may make a difference???

Empy is right – we were explicitly told at the start of the competition that we could not record any part of the show and it was printed in the program, too.
I just wanted to point out how funny it is that even the performers are posting on Facebook saying "Hey look! A video of me! Watch it before it’s taken down!" If the performers don’t care and you don’t tag the video as being from USPDF or get a shot of their banner above the poles or anything, then who really cares??? It kinda bugs me that they are once again showing "ownership" over the dancers and their performances… They shouldn’t have to re-perform and record their routines just to show everyone what they did. I would think the YT vids would be free advertising for USPDF.
But at the same time, it’s not all that different from recording a movie in a theater. The movie belongs to the producers, etc. etc. at that point – not the individual actors. The only difference is that this is a live performance. While each routine belongs to the individual dancer, the entire show is USPDF’s.
However, with a movie, it’s taking away from the profits of whoever owns the movie because people are watching it illegally. With a competition, it’s a one-time thing – they aren’t going to lose a profit from people posting vids of competition clips, especially because USPDF doesn’t sell DVDs of the show! It’s never going to be seen again except by the dancers themselves who get vids of their performance – they have nothing to lose. And once again, free advertising – people would watch the clips and want to go the next year.
So do I see why they do it? Yeah. Do I agree with it? Nope.

Well if posting against recording makes a difference, I believe I can see why it’s an issue for them. I think there can be a problem for them with the music rights organization. To get a license for the event is one thing but for anything outside of that would cost them a fortune. I understand that is why they are not making DVDs of the event…the PROs would cost them a fortune to sell DVDs with the various labels used by everyone.

There’s another youtube up of Alethea’s performance… don’t know how long it’ll be there but it’s pretty clear and you can see the handcuff thing really well. I was happy to get to see it!

Becca Butcher has re-created her optional routine from the competition…it’s incredible!

Yes, her refilmed routine from USPDF 2010 is incredible! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif Alike Cat Gannaro. She has re-created her routine from USPDF 2010 too and she is also amazing! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_razz.gif
