Yeah, most copyright lawyers are pieces of shit. The good news is that people like me download, pirate, and steal things, even though I can buy them anyway, just to smite them and their laws. I'll buy the occasional music album or DVD/Blu-ray if the artists are good enough. I refuse to pay a nickle for anything unless it's one of my favourite things. And, in the end, when the lawyers are in bed trying to sleep, most of them know they are immoral pieces of shit that don't matter in the bigger picture.
Tony Bjornson I can see your position. I also DL a few torrents here and there, but I try to make sure when I have the money I support whatever Writer, Developer, Producer I thoroughly enjoyed. There are a bunch of assholes in the entertainment business, but I wave my hand at them and usually find a way to donate directly to the actual creator. To the band for music, studio for video games, and Movies and TV shows just get my DVD purchase (they have a weird ass process for finding a way to "donate" to Writers/Directors and I hate dealing with it).
I like to rent CDs from the Library, and then rip them onto iTunes. I've probably gotten about 30 albums onto my iTunes that way, including Death Magnetic (Metallica), Aftershock (Motorhead), all of my Black Sabbath (about five albums, including Reunion), and many more.
Even in programming i just call those brackets and the square ones square brackets on a matter of "You know what i meant". Don't tell me curly brackets have a real name too?

As a lawyer, I can say I'll defend someone accused of murder without thinking twice, but I refuse to handle a copyright case. That is not what copyright was intended for.
I was mildly amused by this song, but I was all "eh, not a favorite".....then Tim came on talking about copyright and I just broke. Still laughing, this is the best thing ever!
Wondrous entertainer, Tim you remind me to grin, to me, you have no peer. "When God created Man, She must have been in a humorous mood. Look where She put the handle." My favorite feminist joke
Tim Minchin That's a shame about the copyright problems. I know the idea behind those laws is meant to protect people from working hard and not getting reasonably compensated for it, but in my opinion there's gotta be a better way. Thanks for sharing your work with those of us who have given too much to the world to afford a ticket to see you perform in person. Your talent is awesome, and you sharing it freely here on TH-cam is very much appreciated.
3:39 What a magical tune! Edit: I just heard 3 or more other live versions of Confessions and this version is my favorite, he uses unique melodies each 'movement,' THE ENVIRONMENT!
I arrived at the Reason Rally WAY too early. But I was rewarded by an impromptu concert by Tim Minchin as he rehearsed. It was awesome! Thank you for Rocking the Rally!
Never heard this before and innocently clicked (connected to Bluetooth speaker) with my 11 year old, 16 year old daughter, and wife in the room. The 11 year old found it as hilarious as I! The others, not so much.
Been a fan of this guy ever since i accidentally came across an album of his on a flight entertainment system... after my movie finished and still had time to kill till we landed...
6:20 Hi, sorry, Tim here, so i had a bit of a copyright problem with this bit, see whereas usually i avoid musical parodies as a matter of principal preferring instead to keep my work as original as possible, i every now and then quote a well known, popular song within one of my own less popular works, in this case it was the song 'I will always love you' by Dolly Parton who, might surprise you to learn, I consider one of the greatest songwriters of her generation. Seems like a bit of a dumb end to my breasticular anthem, but what i did, right, was replace the word 'you' right, with the word 'boobs' right, it was fucking incredible and copyright lawyers are fucking dicks.
I love Tim Minchin. He's the best songwriter of HIS generation...period. BUT, .copyright lawyers suck? Then why is "Context" so hard to find online Tim?? :P
Even if he does not agree with them, he has to have them. People can't just claim his work is theirs, or else it will cause huge legal disputes. The problem is with copyright, as important as it is, it also shits on the consumers. The system needs to be adjusted, however Tim cannot personally do this himself.
possibly because you're searching for the wrong song. it's called cont. - first result for 'tim minchin cont.' got me a full recording from one of his live shows. also, copyright lawyers are as necessary as they are annoying. if he didn't have at least some copyright protection, nothing would stop people stealing his content or making money from his work. i'm sure he's all for the part of copyright law that stops people from taking content that doesn't belong to them and sharing it (for profit), it's the part that says 'you can't upload a ten second modified cover of this song onto youtube without paying royalties' that sucks.
Just search for CONT it’ll pop up. And be sure not to listen to it loudly in car with windows down… found that out at a stoplight, black lady next to me at the light gave me an evil look, at the verse in the first 1/2 and I was like uuummmmm , it’s a song called context! I swear it gets better!!! Fortunately, we pulled into the same gas station and she got to hear the second half of the song … but yah… not a song for listening to loud in the car with windows down… nearly found that out the hard way :-p
lol lve the break at the end where tim comes on and explains the lyrics and why we dont get to hear them... really shows how stupid copyright laws are right now
Except for the part about the planet being a living organism, it's a ball of rock, metal and water, all life is just a small infection growing on the surface in a volume 1/1,000th that of the actual planet. It was around for billions of years before life formed, it will be around for billions of years after.
luv, luv, luv that you added the disclaimer at the end. Great ending to a great song and this only made it, and your realness, better....oh, and not surprised you enjoy her stuff as you're, in your way, kinda like her - presenting something other than what lies beneath :)
Some conservative made a comment about how unnatural he thought homosexuality was. A duo named Garfunkel and Oates made a song making fun of the comment. Flash to me interviewing for jobs trying to remind myself NOT to break out singing "Ducks, sex with ducks" in the lobby.

I just love his immense piano solo, followed by 'closed bracket'. 😂
I was waiting for it the whole time and it was still fucking golden.
Lmao I was like "Can you please close the brackets?" and then laughed hard when he did, as I imagined the whole solo being included in the brackets 🤣
the level of anxiety waiting for him to hopefully close the bracket.
"My second confession is entitled poverty (altruism )" - Tim MInchin
No. He said brackets. Those are parentheses. It would be:
"My second confession is entitled poverty [altruism ]"
Even in programming i just call those brackets and the square ones square brackets on a matter of "You know what i meant". Don't tell me curly brackets have a real name too?
@orlin hernandez *they're called braces. You're also welcome!
You missed the piano solo.
@@fsginsainity9327 No, Tim isn't American. Every English-speaking country in the world calls ( and ) brackets except the US.
Honestly the lyric "we're just fucking monkeys in shoes" resounds terribly well right now.

How about now?

Tim Minchin for Pope.
I would watch his inauguration speech - playing "the Pope song" in front of the whole Vatican
Unfortunately, I doubt that he is celibate which is a requirement
@@nickf.770 well, he fucks his wife and not the small boys, so I don't know what is the difference in regard to this requirement.

Would be a better moral compass than any of the previous popes to be frank.

hard to stop once you start eh?
Me too now
Me too, and my daughters and grandchildren are sick of me sharing his videos, lol!
What's a matter ? Didn't get a reach around?

Well, maybe there's similar song for you then...just from the reversed gender perpective.
Besides, of all people, you'd think Dolly Parton would appreciate the message of this song.
You really think she would with the "fun-bags" she's got

Bertie Pryke He's better though. Lol

Cartoonishly Inept the pauses get pregnant off his expressions.

This is my favourite Tim Minchin song. I find it identifiable on many levels.
What? Below, behind and above?
Never has anyone been so eloquent about copyright as Tim Minchin in this video.
3:39 What a magical tune!
Edit: I just heard 3 or more other live versions of Confessions and this version is my favorite, he uses unique melodies each 'movement,' THE ENVIRONMENT!
My head almost exploded when he opened the bracket and spent a half lifetime before closing it...
Other than that - Tim is awesome.
😂😂😂
This final movement is entitled THE ENVIRONMENT *EPIC CHORD*
this comment is underappreciated

The copyright at the end 😂😂😂
That tense moment when you think he might not close that bracket......!! phew,thank you, I can enjoy it now!
