both are commentary mediums which means that the same as saying you can only timeshift by watching reruns.





you can't TOS/CONTRACT away fair use.

anti trust laws need to be applied when a company cross that line.
But uploading a song to youtube and putting the phrase "Check out my new video" is not legit fair use commentary. It isn't commentary at all. It is asking people to watch/listen to your new video.

It doesn't change the reality of the world. If you sign a contract that says you can't upload your new music to YouTube, Facebook or whatever then that is what you have to stick by. It isn't worth arguing with you over what is fair use and what isn't because you have a warped sense of reality. We will never see eye to eye on it,

The simple fact of matter is this: If you sign a contract, you have to stick by it. If you sign a record contact and they control who you upload to and who you don't than that is how it works. You knew this when you signed the contract, you knew this when you took all their money. You can't suddenly change your mind and decide now that you have millions in the bank you want to no longer abide by the contract.
