around waving the contract to your friends claiming that you have legit proof that
she loves you?

I agree. There is no way of knowing what exactly this release is for and it looks a lot like the standard broad release they have you sign when you appear on a talk show or things like that. For all we know they hired him to appear at an event and this is the release from it, but that event may have nothing to do with the video they put together.

I don't doubt some of them knew they were endorsing it. Kim Kardashian would endorse the holocaust if you paid her enough, but I would guess some of them didn't fully realize what they were getting into and weren't smart enough to fully read the release.

After all, this is a signed release, but it from a few months back and we have no idea what he signed it for or what he was doing for them when he signed it.

seriously what exactly about

Quote:

1. mega upload said they owned the copyright to all the videos they used

2. will i am says he never gave permission to use that content in that way

it is possible for both statements to be true

your misrepresentation hides that possiblity

here the key point

will i am is only allowed to use DMCA takedown process for content that infringes on copy right (either full, or partially assigned) that HE OWNS

the validity of the endorsement doesn't matter to the abuse of the DMCA

universal was 100% aware they didn't own the copyright to the work
and they deliberately lied to censor mega uploads $3 million dollar viral campaign.

in addition to explicitly waiving copyright claims

the contract also says "in any promotional materials of any kind in connection with the program, and megaupload limited's networks and other services"

the mega upload song would clearly qualify as a "promotion material of any kind"

cool so your saying every porn girl who changes their mind about the porn they got paid to do should have a right to abuse DMCA take down notice process to purge your work from the internet.

the second thoughts of the talent are irrelevant to who fucking owns the copyright to the work.

Great PR Stunt (scam) Ask stars to say the words "Mega Upload" to a camera and hand them a BIG stack of cash right there on the spot to sign a small 1 page release form...

Of course they have no idea what Megaupload is... but hey a big stack of cash right there in their face why turn it down. THEN cut it all together into a song and music video they never agreed to - big win for the Pirates
