lpokotilenko Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Bernie, This JOB IS NOT MINE! And I wrote (see above) why I would never even think of making it because I did't want to do it. I only found and shared someone else’s video. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natalia Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Eric, I think, You should come out..... .... on YOUTUBE, like Celine Dion, to say something...... fanny ......or not. It is actually Your success......Without Your song this video would be BORRING..... It is great opportunity to say "HELLO, ...what's UP" to the World. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnneNR Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 For those ladies to whom it may make a difference -- Mr. Carmen's "fanny" in a music video would not be an unwelcome sight. (Mr. Carmen's "fanny" has just got to be better than the one on the guy in the airport video!!) When it comes to "fanny" or not, I say "fanny" (derriere) is probably better than not!

AnneNR Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 I talked to Tim Smith at Sony, yesterday, and he believes there ARE royalties paid, but I haven't been able to find out what the royalty rate is, yet. Up over 13.5 million hits, though! Mr. Carmen --- Forgive my ignorance, but how do you get paid for hits on a viral video ? Who gets charged? The individual hitters? The individual hitters' internet service provider? And does it really make a difference as to how many people take a peek at it? Tracking royalties on this sounds like a nightmare --- I just can't fathom how this works. . . . . . and from the other thread where you tell us about downloading songs and all that, will you even get paid whatever portion it is they say you should get?

Eric Carmen Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 It's official. 15,000,000 hits on Vimeo. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raspbernie Posted June 18, 2014 Author Share Posted June 18, 2014 My best guess is that the video itself doesn't pay royalties, but every time anyone in the media plays it, they have to report a play of "All By Myself," which does generate royalties. But like I said, that's my best guess as to how it would work. Bernie 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paperdoll82 Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 Are there "ABM police"? Many years ago, I received a very kind letter from the Velcro police, thanking me profusely for using the name of their product in an article — before politely yet firmly reminding me that Velcro is a trademark and, as such, should ALWAYS have a capital "V." (The Styrofoam police nabbed another staffer a few years later.) Cheryl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirk Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 After a period of time, trademark names like "Kleenex" become a part of the common lexicon. Who says, "Pass me a facial tissue"? Nobody! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mary Ellen Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 Good point, Kirk. Anne, I vote yes for the fanny. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody! :::ahem::: That would be me. LOL (Actually, I say, "Pass me a tissue.") I *do*, however, refer to all soft drinks as "Coke." It's a Southern thang. "You want a Coke? What kind of Coke? I've got Coke, Diet Coke, Mountain Dew, Dr Pepper ..." Cheryl 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirk Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 I suppose you use 'lip balm' instead of Chapstick, also 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
