Its the copyright issue crap that is going on (on YouTube and elsewhere) that has REALLY prevented the song being known anywhere. A great example of how record companies are actively blocking music from being played anywhere (unless they get paid for it) and thus preventing the songs being known, anywhere. I was fortunate enough to hear this song on an underground MP3 competition, where it represented Germany… and I was blown away. I’d NEVER have heard it, had the companies had their way. Such backward thinking is actively preventing recognition of good material. Long live Creative Commons! Example: Most of the videos on this page are blocked in my country… HOWEVER, all you have to do is bounce of another country’s IP, and they are visible again. Pointless company policies.

Oops. I tried again…videos #2 and #3 work but only when I copy and paste their links into a new window. The 4th one really has been yanked.

Only one picture in that new video, what are the odds? lol

By the way, the other three embedded videos don’t seem to work when I click them. I think they’ve been removed by YouTube.

Hey Daniel, thanks for pointing that out. First of all, it’s just a capture of the video, and by coincident it took a capture of this picture. I don’t actually have to do anything with it, since it is on youtube. So Youtube probably should take the video off. But I will do it to and search for another video without your pictures, which are very nice by the way.

You know, it’s just funny that they might charge a lawsuit against people who might use their stuff or copy their things, but they don’t even have their own music and copy it from other artists. Even though, they surely pay for the rights.

But you are right, the guy who actually created the video shouldn’t have used your pictures for the video, although I think those are people who are supporting this artist and like her very much and don’t want to harm anybody with it. But these are just my 2 cents and law is law and copyright is copyright. I hope you still enjoyed the post. Keep up the great work of your photographs, any portofolio available?

Hey Alex,
As flattered as I may be by your use of my images in the clip, I must call you on using some unauthorized ones without permission. It can cause unnecessary trouble. Not with me, but with NCsoft’s Legal Department, as they own the rights to my work. The images Sarah used were all run through an approval process and accompanied by copyright disclaimers. I’m afraid that any images beyond the five that were part of my agreement with Sarah’s producers on one hand and NCsoft Management on the other could lead to complications.

Sorry for the bad news,

Daniel Dociu

I love Sara Brightman. She has a beautiful voice and she is a very beautiful woman. Nice post and nice videos you have here.

Silbermond ist besser….. nichts wie das Original

definitely the voice of Stefanie is 1000 times better than the Sarah Brightman, although it is a compliment to me as to many followers of Silbermond, that make a cover, despite that I do not like the voice of Sarah Brightman and her style is so pop, I recommend a banda German calls me a lot of attention even though I am no great fan is Etwas good style of music to Silbermond but did not become as good as the music that makes Silbermond.

Hey Germanophile,

Christina is also very good, she sing the official Soccer European Championship 2008 right now, it calls ‘Fieber’ (fever). Because of the problems to buy German music I checked some sides out, but there is now legal way to download all the German hits. Send me an email on my contact page and maybe I can help you to sign up on itunes Germany. But no promise.
