I recently launched a blog that all relates to Broadway productions in terms of show information, character analysis and other critiquing. I will definitely appreciate your feedback :) The link is here and also subscribe to my youtube channel at janeshon1106
on a side note, I do not own any of the music and video clips I used. All rights belong to their original owners. The videos are for educational, promtional use ONLY not for sale.

These are DISCUSSION boards, not mutual admiration boards. Discussion only occurs when we are willing to hear what others are thinking, regardless of whether it is alignment to our own thoughts.
"I do not own any of the music and video clips I used. All rights belong to their original owners."
I think I already know the answer, but does posting this make it okay to post music/video clips? I see this disclaimer a lot on YouTube. Don't you need the owner's permission to upload any original music/video clips?

Yup. Just saying it isn't yours, doesn't give you the right to use it. People seem to think it does.

I do enjoy how people assume that because they didn't create the bootleg footage their site can't be penalized for hosting it. Or because they aren't "making money" from the clips it's ok to post it. In the eyes of the copyright holders, and the law, it's not ok and they can force you to remove it.
Wow. Reading that blog brought me no new information on shows that are so overexposed that no one really cares any more.
What's the point?

This poster is not trying to become a member of the site. She has ONLY posted in this thread. She is only hawking her poorly written and boring blog.
According to her profile, she is a 'theater critic'. I hope she doesn't get paid to do so. (and I'm guessing not)

If you think my blog is boring, I totally respect your opinion and I will highly appreciate some constructive criticism. Whether or not I get paid as a theater critic, that's not up to you. And I DO Comment on some of the other threads and other sites. Maybe not as much as you do because I'm new here. Maybe you find my blog boring because you already know a lot about the shows I've posted, but that doesn't mean other people know as much as you do. Being a theater critic is what I love to do and is the passion I will never give up, and I know if I'm passionate about something, I'm going to do my best and try hard, even if I suck at it.
The ONLY posts you have here are on THIS thread. (Unless you posted under a different user name.) I looked, because I DID want to see what you had to say to see if MAYBE it was worth looking at your blog again.

Why did a random person resurrect a 2012 thread....
Oh. I see what's happening. This person is spamming every thread about blogs no matter how old it is. Pro tip: Keep only one active thread about YOUR OWN BLOG and don't spam other people's blog threads.
