the musical that must not be named

[julie anne]

I'm not a law student yet, but, by golly, I know injustice when I see it. Which is why I was so frustrated when, because of copyright issues, the videos for Harry Potter: The Musical were taken off YouTube.

Yes, I know there are bigger things going on in the world. But based on the video found at blog io9, the music and the performances in the fan-made musical were, in the words of Ron Weasley, bloody brilliant, and give the stories of J.K. Rowling life beyond the pages of her book and the movies based on them.

In a video posted to the StarKidPotter channel, creators of the musical explained, well, sang, why they had to suddenly pull their videos off the air:

"We don't wanna, we don't wanna be sued. We're not tryin', tryin' to be rude. Cause it ain't funny, we ain't got the money to lose. We never wanted, never wanted to fight. Legal issues, and misuse, and copyright. If we annoy ya', we ain't got no lawyers to use. So understand that we're just fans. We can't fight the man. So we're playin' it safe and takin' our whole show down so there's no show-down. ... It's just for now. So stay tuned. We'll be back here soon." 

Yes. Even their "please don't sue us, we're poor college-age kids who don't have any money" video is entertaining.

I'm doing my best to care, but just can't.

I agree with this because music must never be named because music is an inspiration to reach all things we have dreamed in our lives, it a mental way to fly an be free.

I download this video yesterday and it is so enjoyable because it is another funny way to follow Harry potter Stories I have a lot of fun while I was watching it.

Some things are just wrong - like the musical of Sweeney Todd. A mass murderer. I think for different reasons, this falls into the same category!

The email came out this morning at 12:11am, so I haven't had time to talk with any fellow students, but my guess is that they will be thrilled with the change. It's unfortunate that the current outgoing 1L class had to suffer through the last year of harsh grades, but the positive news is that the next two years will be a little better. With all this excitement how can I possibly study for my crim exam at 1:30? Oh yeah, the old grading system will determine my grade...

There is my motivation.

I believe that if people upload music videos to youtube, they don't have to take it off youtube, because sometimes we need to see those videos and we can't, and is not fair
