I just posted a new Meefaw Inc. skit on YouTube that we have been working on for six months, only to have it muted by WMG (Warner Music Group) for using their copyrighted music. I therefore deleted it from the site. Look, I understand the whole infringement thing but this is ridiculous. There are actually WMG employees paid to scan through videos all day long on YouTube looking for music by their artists so they can mute them. These ass clowns should be happy there are fans out there that appreciate the music enough to include it in their own creative projects. IT IS FREE FUCKING PUBLICITY FOR WMG ARTISTS. I include these songs in my videos because I enjoy them and it fits in with the concept for the skit. There is absolutely no personal gain on my part. I do not sell the skits. WMG has muted videos on YouTube that have been up for years and have had millions of views. That’s millions of potential customers for them, yet they obviously do not see it that way. They even muted a video posted as a tribute for a deceased friend because it featured a song by a WMG artist. WMG is digging it’s own grave by doing this. They are doing nothing but pissing off millions of people.

FUCK YOU WMG, FUCK YOU.

P.S. Too many people worked way too hard to complete this skit to have something like this stop us. I will get this video out to the masses. Oh, and fuck WMG.
