News travels slow to my country, so I've only read about this now, and I'm really, really disappointed.<BR/><BR/>Chet Baker has been one of my favourite artists, but even as someone who appreciates his work I admit that he doesn't have a wide reach or audience. <BR/><BR/>The role of my blog is promote great artists like Chet Baker, more so, disseminate information about him in the way one navigates the recesses of the internet: through videos, clips, articles, and interesting snippets about him. And now that his videos are gone, I am really angry.<BR/><BR/>Thank you for voicing out my thoughts. It's comforting to know that I'm not the only one who feels, in a way, robbed of a chance to share something beautiful with the world. I truly believe in the heart of what people like us are doing, and we're not even getting paid for it. I guess that's love, huh?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8590417174350456792.post-62570753925159101892008-07-04T08:45:00.000-07:002008-07-04T08:45:00.000-07:00Hi there,if it's not the Chet Baker Foundation, th...Hi there,<BR/><BR/>if it's not the Chet Baker Foundation, then, who is it who quasi over night killed some other Chet Baker videos at YouTube?<BR/><BR/>Found this link in the google cache:<BR/><BR/>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4N3YUka_Oq8<BR/><BR/>When you try to open it, the message says: "This video is no longer available due to a copyright claim by CHET BAKER FOUNDATION" <BR/><BR/>Would it be possible for the CBF to root out that guy who is obviously an impostor?<BR/><BR/>Just my one and a half cents,<BR/><BR/>A.

I am writing regarding the Chet Baker Foundation statement on Youtube that the foundation is telling youtube viewers that they cannot view any Chet Baker material, etc. I can assure you that this is NOT coming from the Chet Baker Foundation founded by Chet's son Paul Baker more than a year ago, but from some other foundation calling itself the C B Foundation. Please go to the authentic C B Foundation website which is housed in Chet's native state of Oklahoma, and check out the statement released by pul regarding the Youtube subject.<BR/><BR/> You can access the CB Foundation website by going to (chetbakerfoundation.org) and reading what Paul stated. And once you see that it is NOT emnanating from our website...please informn your readers of this so they will know the difference.<BR/><BR/> Thanks.<BR/> Cordially,<BR/> Artt Frank<BR/> (arttfrank777@yahoo.com)<BR/> (arttfrank.com)Artthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06493874595166299388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8590417174350456792.post-15806437925642191932008-02-05T23:14:00.000-08:002008-02-05T23:14:00.000-08:00In fact, it can be a bit more complicated than tha...In fact, it can be a bit more complicated than that. It is well known that since its acquisition by google, lawsuits have started to pour over Youtube's head. What Youtube wisely did was to come into a courtroom settlement with almost all major record labels.<BR/><BR/>It can very well be the case of the Chet Baker foundation administrators being a bit too greedy and Youtube, after a cost - benefit analysis decided not to give in to their strongarm tactics.<BR/><BR/>Of course as we very well know this will lead nowhere, as this video on the web explosion made possible with high bandwidth speeds, not dissimilar to the mp3 revolution that took place ten years ago, is here to stay and video hosting sites will continue to pop up like mushrooms. Enter Stage6, Dailymotion and what have you - as long as the industry fails to grasp the reality of this, it is bound to be on the losing side.<BR/><BR/>On the other side are guys like me who love this music, own vast music collections and are willing to have a go at it by showing the world what good jazz is all about.<BR/><BR/>I had an account on Youtube for eight months, now defunct courtesy of the Chet Baker foundation, and what I can say is that I did not regret it for one minute. The hundreds of mails and comments I received daily, the interaction with jazz lovers from all over the world, the bonds of friendship with some outstanding individuals, the owner of this blog included, more than made up for it.<BR/><BR/>The real recognition of what I was trying to do though, came from deceased jazz musicians relatives thanking me for showing the world their loved ones - exactly what foundations and bureaucracies fail so triumphantly to do.<BR/><BR/>So, as far as I'm concerned, I think I'll stick to four legs, thank you.<BR/><BR/>delta_mike aka itsartolied3ltahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13185406883335369974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8590417174350456792.post-15417964709749244122008-02-05T14:40:00.000-08:002008-02-05T14:40:00.000-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.d3ltahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13185406883335369974noreply@blogger.com
