Wicked - Nobody asked for this

So my original post was deleted by the mods because it contained a youtube video of the SPIC production of Wicked.  The message from the moderator said I posted a bootleg which is blatantly false since SPIC themselves are the one that uploaded their own production, which if licensed, they are free to do.  Trigger-happy moderators.

Hate to be “that guy.” But, as far as the terms of service here go, they don’t approve posting bootlegs from say, YouTube for example. The fact that you linked to a YouTube video that someone else posted is irrelevant."

It wasn't a bootleg though.  SPIC filmed their own production and posted it on their own channel....

That may very well be. But, let’s say for the sake of argument, you posted a link from YouTube of a full performance of the current Broadway cast. While it may be true that you didn’t make/post the video, the mods aren’t too keen on reposting or passing round bootlegs regardless of their origin.

Yes but that's 2 totally different things.  You're describing an actual bootleg, what I posted is not a bootleg.  It was their own production.

Because I just saw it today, that's why.

MOST agreement allow an archival copy only, and require a separate agreement for anything beyond that.

(Not that we know if that has happened.)

And its been a LOOONG time since Ive heard the mods taking down links."

Since the production appears to have occurred in India, U.S. Copyright Law is irrelevant.

No.  more of a local community theater thing.
