“It’s Janet, Ms. Jackson if you Nasty”…
Oh yeah Mrs. Janet
Jackson is not having it with anyone including her very own camp when it comes
to her fans. A couple of days ago there were claims that several fans who
shared videos or pics of their Unbreakable tour experience via social media accounts was suspended or deleted,
due to Jackson’s camp filing ‘copyright complaints… Wow!
Anywho those claim did
not sit well with Janet and she has checked her Camp and apologizes dearly to
her beloved fans with an open letter. Watch it inside.
Okay here’s the snap
Report, Rollingout:
“Janet Jackson
addressed her fans after some of them found their Instagram accounts were
suspended or their uploaded media content removed. Several fans complained of
being deleted from the social app after posting photos and videos taken during
Jackson's Unbreakable tour, according to New York Post. Fans reported receiving
several warning emails from the social media app that said "a third party
reported that the content violates their copyright."
Instagram's application
programming interfaces (APIs) terms of use includes prohibiting using Instagram
APIs "in any manner or for any purpose that violates any law or
regulation, or any rights of any person, including but not limited to
intellectual property rights, rights of privacy, or rights of
personality." An Instagram rep told New York Post that some of the media
deletions that occurred following fans' Jackson posts were not intentional and
that there was "a bug that resulted in the removal of accounts that shouldn't
have been removed" and those accounts should be restored. Though the rep
added that "repeat infringers" accounts will be deleted.
In a Twitter statement, Jackson explained that she is not against fans sharing video clips from her concerts, but that the length is an issue. "I want you to know that I enjoy watching the short clips of how you are Burning It Up at the Unbreakable shows. Please keep posting them," she wrote. "My team is passionate about protecting the intellectual property we are creating for the tour and possible future projects. It was never their intention, acting on my behalf, to have social media accounts removed.
"Permitting the use of long clips does
present a contractual problem for these projects. I hope you understand," she explained. "I trust the fans will use their short
recordings for their own memories and to share on their social media networks
of choice."
Jackson added that she has instructed her team
to "change their approach and allow
you to engage socially with these videos."
Watch Janet speak below:
Jackson is currently on her Unbreakable Tour,
which ends in June 2016. Unbreakable, her first LP in seven years, debuted at
No. 1 on the Billboard 200.
