Amnesty for the World DJ Community to Promote Artists to Help Keep the Music Industry Going

0:01 My name is Jonathan Ellaskins, The DJ Tutor

Right ladies and gentlemen, my name is Jonathan Ellaskins, The DJ Tutor. For the people who don't know me, I believe I was the first DJ in the world to give a whole bunch of online free lessons on YouTube, Ellaskins. Now, I am of course going to try and promote myself, but this video really is about what is going on at the moment. Now please, please like and share this video, alright? Please give it a like and please share it. I will explain. At the moment, we are of course living in unprecedented times and the entertainments and hospitality industries around the world are just suffering immensely. You know, they put restrictions on what we can play and so on. And it's getting ridiculous. I do understand it in many ways because they don't want people copying their music. But just hear me out. This is so important. The music industry is suffering. Artists are suffering. DJs are suffering. Companies are suffering.

2:20 Don't just cause us hassle because we're here to promote you

This is what should happen. This is why I want you to share this video. As a DJ community, we should be allowed to play music without any issues, no problems at all, even if it's just for the next six months or while this shit is going on. So we can of course promote the music industry because the more we get hammered down and told not to play music and we're not allowed to play it and we take our video we have our videos taken offline the less chance there is of other people hearing the music all right so for god's sake all right get this video around and if you are at the top of the tree in some of the big corporations and music companies just think for a second All right, even if it's for the next six months or a year while all this is going on, let us promote your music with no issues. Don't flag us down. Don't delete the videos. Don't just cause us hassle because we're here to promote you. We're here to help the music industry. So by definition...

You keep us going, we keep you going. You block us and restrict us, you're only hanging yourselves. Share this video, please share this video amongst your communities and hopefully it may just light a spark. I love this saying, there are two times to plant a tree, 20 years ago and now. So let's plant it, practice and enjoy. Thank you.
