Hello Graham, Dori and everyone,

I won't go into the Youtube-copyright-issue debate all over again but I believe this clip (and most of the Hayley related clips that can be find on Youtube for that matter) are originally from HWI.

You're right Stephany, that video (and probably any others that appear from that concert) is one that I did from Interactive BBC, there is no doubt about it. It's not really a copyright issue though, more one of politeness (or lack of it) by the YouTube uploaders.

What makes me quite angry sometimes is that people take these videos (which can take hours to prepare), spend 10 minutes sitting by their computer or drinking coffee while they upload, and present them as if they are their own or anonymously. If it continues, it's only goiing to make us consider plastering big HWI logos all over them and that benefits nobody.

They could at least have the common decency to credit and link to the source (HWI), some people have no manners.

They have either been downloaded from hwi.net (Gerrit's site which he let us use especially in 2005 when Simon had severe problems with the main site) or from the relevant thread in this forum here As these are better quality than the YouTube one, can be downloaded (and I don't see why whoever it is should get the hits unless he credits the source) I'm going to remove that link Graham (no criticism goes your way, you didn't know) and change the thread title, move the thread to the Concerts board so it's with the other one, and lock the thread... I'm sure you understand,

Everyone is welcome to continue the discussion in the Manchester Concert 10th September 2005 thread (this will avoid more duplication). Graham, thanks for reminding us of this!

Cheers, Dave
