Bethesda: Maluka, the girl who did the amazing ‘Dragonborn C : V - Skyrim

If anything, this troll company is challenging Bethesda's ownership. If Bethesda DOESN'T fight it, they could have legal issues later.

It's dealt with, or have you not read the recent posts?

Thank fudge for that! Now if every company and fan base stood up to people like this, they might think first before doing such a thing. Good job!

Hope it doesn't put her off anything in the future, that voice needs to be heard. :thumbsup:

This whole episode was strange. I need to do this to garner more hits for my vids. I'm not saying...just saying...

What I do not understand is how 916 people (total at the time of this post) could dislike that video.

I really think that Bethesda ought to do this girl a solid and smack this criminal scum down Fus Ro Da style on behalf of her, fans everywhere and to defend their own intellectual property.

Here is the video which many of us know and love, which is under attack: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4z9TdDCWN7g&list=FLAmgiArvvL91vdSrUBemP1w&index=1&feature=plpp_video

Better yet, let them make and enforce the "claim", and profit from it. The smack them with damages (lost advertising revenue on a song Bethesda owns + cout costs) and a criminal fraud case.

Because really, until they actually enforce their fraudulent claim, its not so much Bethesda's problem. But once they do, it is- big time.

Assuming she wants to avoid that, the EFF is a pretty good place to turn for things like this.

That's impossible.

As long as you give credit to the original artist, you can cover ANY song you wish, and she has not made any money off it, and therefore doesn't have to pay any royalties. If any company tries to own her music she can take them to court, and she will win even with the worst lawyer in the world. She said that the song belongs to Jeremy Soule and Bethesda, so she's set. She would only be brought to court if she took the credit for writing the song and released it for profit, then she can be taken to court (think Led Zeppelin)

Plus...it's just youtube....think about that ugly deformed girl that only sings other people's songs and has celebrities come on. She monopolized that and made money off it, and yet nobody tried to own her videos. Maluka on the other hand just recorded a cover without any profit, just for the sake of fun and sharing it with others (I think).

In other words, quit exaggerating, she doesn't need any help.

It's not impossible. Perfect example, look up videos on The Sound of Pi.

Just wanted to say I think her cover is awful.

I'm glad though that this is resolved.

I'm glad to see that this issue has been resolved in the good guys (or girls) favor. That 'company', Symbolic Digital Movies, is the very definition of scum, and YouTube's tolerance of this type of thing is equally as despicable. I encourage everyone who's attention has been cought by this issue to research said company, others like them and the broader topic in general, because it affects all of us.

She's getting more love than she's deserved. There's a girl at my work that makes her look like a silly church choir, and that's without the music/voice-over and echo effects.

Then get her to post a cover of the Skyrim theme to YouTube. Till then, words are wind.

Just so you all know, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_A._Altman, the http://www.zenimax.com/bod.htm of Zenimax, is no angel.

"He was acquitted of all charges"

When did innocent until proven guilty become guilty no matter what?
