With that classic Mini TV advert above from 1989, I got all creative as the soundtrack on my 20 year old video tape wasn't good.

So thanks to the miracle that is Windows Movie Maker, I was able to effectively remix/overlay (or whatever?) the actual song used from a 1960's CD compilation album we have. I got it spot on so it ran parallel with the low quality original soundtrack, then I set it so you only hear the high quality stereo mind blowing version instead. Plus it began and ended at the same points and I set it to fade in and out too.

So thank God for MySpace, because after going to all that trouble and uploading it to YouTube, the rotten gits removed the audio due to it being copywrite!: -



I'm not happy as there's thousands of video's on there featuring copywrite music, including video's with music from The Beatles and Jimi Hendrix which are probably the most copywrite protected stuff that exists.

So why are they picking on Mini owners video's? Could it be a BMW conspiracy to take over the world? Well I smell a rat anyway.

Thats nice work mate

It does seem odd that it got taken off the tube though, possibly reported as I can't see them checking every upload on there

Well there are a few copies of that video on YouTube and they've all had their soundtracks muted.

I've read the comments on one and it looks like a BINI lover got flamed for leaving nasty remarks that were then removed.

So perhaps it's thanks to him that it got muted and all subsequent uploads of that video will suffer the same fate.

Mine got muted instantly. Stupid YouTube.



For instance here's someone else's copy that I posted on this board last year: -

Strange how the audio has now been restored for all the Mini 30 LE TV advert YouTube video's: -
