YouTube Update

It seems videos of the tour keep getting removed from YouTube. I just sent them a note:

I, Jean Michel Jarre, hereby authorise anyone to broadcast on Youtube any videos filmed during my concerts on " Oxygene in concert" tour, as long as it is a fair excerpt with the right credits which has been the case so far.
I certify that the only person able to allow or forbid these videos on Youtube is myself, being the composer of all the music, being the sole producer of the live audio and visual version, the performer and the co-publisher. I think these videos are a fair tribute to my work and contribute in a positive way to the exposure of my music.
Yours truly,
Jean Michel Jarre

Hello Jean Michel,
Thank you so much for defending your true fans. I hope that you win that war against Dreyfus.
I'll see you on the 1st raw, in Lisbon on 25th of April.

Thank you Jean Michel. It is very un-fair that your performances are being removed.

I have posted you a message and a video with regards to the little contest that you are running.

Thanks again for the great gig at RAH and the autograph.

All the best.

Maybe Disques Dreyfus is the problem? Maybe Mr. Dreyfus thinks, he has the rights on any kind of OXYGENE? Maybe they should be contacted and informed? Thanks for supporting your fans Jean Michel. It`s a kind of symbiosis. You share with the fans, the fans share with you.
Looking forward to the Frankfurt show.

I liked the quotes of you very much:

"Something is changing in the perception of my work vis a vis the audience and vis a vis myself. I am sharing actually everything, the way I work, I compose...."

My greatest Respect. In this times this is absolutly not normal! It affraids me, that people under your name without your knowlege have the power to do such things. Maybe you could write us to this topic some few more words.

It has been like walking around an art gallery to find that someones artistic effort has been taken away while you're looking at something else. Its almost the same as any art theft!
I salute Jean Michel for standing up to the bullies out there depriving people from the canvas that is the internet.

I have had another Vid Clip of the 2008 tour removed by FDM from YouTube.

Not happy!

Dear Member:
This is to notify you that we have removed or disabled access to the following material as a result of a third-party notification by FRANCIS DREYFUS MUSIC claiming that this material is infringing:

Good decision my dear Jean MiMi !

Wow, that's really sympathetic of you. Thank you very much.

Thank you very much !
It's really nice to see an artist doing this sort of thing, as opposed to threatening and suing the fans.

Thanks again.

Hi Jean Michel,

Thank you for your support, of the fans recording videos from your Oxygene Tour 2008 and sharing them on YouTube.

Unfortunately, my video of Oxygene 13 from the Symphony Hall in Birmingham has been been removed by YouTube - “Video Removed: Copyright Infringement” as of this morning. The copyright is claimed by FDM. The video had been up for over one week. I was so proud to have recorded such a wonderful video of one my favourite tracks, that you have composed. I wanted to share it with all your fans and show what a fantastic artist you are. It makes me very sad that it has come to this. I hope one day soon, I will be able to upload it again. I have made a counter notice claim to YouTube. It might not help but it may give them food for thought.

Hi Mr. Jarre,

That is very kind of you.

Some of your fans are amateur or pro musicians; do you allow us to share our own covers and tributes of your music?

I recently made a tribute to the Oxygene 4 theme and it was removed from YouTube due to "copyright violation" :-(

Thank you very much for supporting your fans.

Hi Jean Michel,

Artists are the sole proprietors of their music (is it a good thing by saying (proprietor? :-\) and no one can steal this anytime...

As an artist, I'm plenty concious about policy and rights, I think your combat is right...

As a fan, I send you all my respect.

Regards and take care and best for your tour

Nanou a dit…

Merci Jean-Michel.
J'ai mis quelques petites secondes sur mon blog, pas grand chose.
C'est très sympa. J'adore Téo & Téa, que j'ai reçu hier.
Gros bisous

Basically sounds like the creative commons idea which seems like a good choice.

Hi JMJ Fans,

We thought it best to explain to all of JMJ's fans worldwide why videos have been removed from YouTube (and elsewhere).

Just so that the position is clear, the copyright in the original OXYGENE master recordings are owned by Francis Dreyfus Music ("FDM") and the copyright in the musical compositions that make up OXYGENE are co-owned and published by FDM. As such, anyone wanting to synchronise OXYGENE master recordings and / or musical compositions with film footage, needs permission from FDM (ie. as opposed to simply receiving permission from JMJ himself).

That being said, FDM are most definitely pro-fans (not anti-fans as has been suggested) and, as such, if you wish to synchronise OXYGENE recordings or compositions with film / video footage - assuming, of course, that your usage is not commercial / for profit and that you are not adapting JMJ’s music in any way - then you should simply provide an industry standard, courtesy credit for FDM as the copyright owner. As JMJ has already given his permission via his YouTube video message to fans worldwide, the appropriate credit should be as follows : “Copyright recordings and music reproduced by kind permission of Francis Dreyfus Music and Jean Michel Jarre”.

Should you wish to use OXYGENE for commercial purposes – or should you wish to adapt OXYGENE - you will need to request permission in writing : for the timebeing, any requests for permission to commercially exploit or adapt OXYGENE should simply be e-mailed to websheriff@websheriff.com.

Whilst writing and for your further info, there is currently a legal dispute between FDM and JMJ in relation to the so-called "OXYGENE 2007" album : put simply for now, FDM's claim against JMJ is that the 2007 version of OXYGENE is largely based upon the original master recording of OXYGENE from 1976 and that, as such, the 2007 version is not a re-recording at all but merely a re-mixed and digitally remastered version of the original OXYGENE. For the avoidance of doubt, JMJ denies this and the matter may well end-up being decided in a Court of law, but we shall endeavour to keep you - the fans - updated on the position as the dispute / case develops.

Many thanks for taking the time to read this post and for understanding the difficulties involved in these (complex) copyright issues.

With Regards to All JMJ Fans Worldwide,

WEB SHERIFF

Hi Jean Michel Jarre!

That is a very good choice you made because still a lot of young people don't know who you are. I even played some of your stuff and some knew the music but never knew who made it! So yes, let them discover all that on you tube!
I hope you will have a place in your heart to reward a fan like me who doesn't copy your music but is inspired: my piece side xe played with the laser harp is on youtube is a great example... I am strying to enter the music industrie!
Best wishes!
michael sean from France.
