Before you embed a video (like YouTube) to your post, there are a few things you should know.

Due to copyright restrictions, we are unable to allow certain types of embedded video. Thunder Row has no control over this; we are simply following laws set down by International Copyright bodies and because video content providers like YouTube are now in the process of removing videos that are considered to be in violation of these laws.

If YouTube finds your video content to be in violation, they may contact you to remove it. Should you fail to do so, they may arbitrarily remove it themselves. That means if you embed such content in a post on Thunder Row, it will end up as a dead-end click by the TR members who want to see it. The formation of these "rules" will ensure that our forums remain free of dead-end clicks.

So what's allowed and what not?

Here is a quick overview of possible situations:

- You have recorded yourself playing the bassline of a copyrighted song (solo with no backing track): ALLOWED
- You have recorded yourself playing the bassline of a copyrighted song together with the original playing in the background: NOT ALLOWED


Currently, this policy does NOT include the embedding of concert videos, or homemade "garage band" performances by TR members in their basements or back yards, etc. providing there is no backing track of the original songs. Any other material will be evaluated on an individual basis when we see it.


EXCEPTIONS


Thunder Row and Teach Me Bass Guitar encourage students to record their progress! The Learning Dock, LLC. (TLD), which is the publisher of Teach Me Bass Guitar, has granted all its students the rights to use the audio and video from the lesson material as backing tracks.


So...


- You have recorded yourself playing the bassline of a TMBG song (solo with no backing track): ALLOWED
- You have recorded yourself playing the bassline together with the TMBG lessons playing in the background: ALLOWED


If you don't know where to "host" your own music or video files you can check out the following :
