MrMagpie Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 Since when have people starting losing money because of youtube? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_gloaming09 Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 i think that it's total BS to take down videos. like you said briggins, how are people losing money? I mean i can understand illegal downloading or downloading a movie, but this is streaming video. This is the problem i have with these copyright laws. You post a video on youtube, they take it down, and you can't buy a dvd that has the video. Like I love watching the live radiohead concerts (even official ones like glastonbury), but if it's not made available like to buy or stream, then what's the point of even taping it? sometimes the music industry just doesn't make any sense to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMagpie Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 Yeah, its just pissing off the true fans. Sometimes I absolutely hate the music business, since it is the bizz and not the artists who are causing all the ruckus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrMagpie Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 A good example of this was Death Cab For Cutie. Youtube took all their videos down...and the band had them all embedded on their website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrMagpie Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 Robert Smith Says Mean Things About Radiohead When we last left Cure frontman Robert Smith he was bitching about iTunes UK overcharging for his band's 2008 EP, Hypnagogic States. And now he's bitching about Radiohead not charging enough for their 2007 album In Rainbows. Maybe all that hair product is taking its toll somehow. In a recent interview with Music Radar, the pancake makeup aficionado said he "disagreed violently" with Radiohead's pay what you want scheme: "You can't allow other people to put a price on what you do, otherwise you don't consider what you do to have any value at all and that's nonsense. If I put a value on my music and no one's prepared to pay that, then more fool me, but the idea that the value is created by the consumer is an idiot plan, it can't work." While Smith's point is hardly ridiculous, it's tough not to imagine hefty dollops of bitterness and jealously going along with those harsh words-- especially since a relative few noticed the release of the Cure's 4:13 Dream last year. The barb reminds me of Coachella 2004, when Radiohead and the Cure headlined on Saturday and Sunday, respectively. When Radiohead hit the stage, everyone stayed and crammed. When the Cure hit the stage the next day, many stayed...but many took the chance to leave early, too. (A similar situation could play out this year when the Cure close Coachella after My Bloody Valentine and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs on Sunday.) http://pitchfork.com/article/news/149366-robert-smith-says-mean-things-about-radiohead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrMagpie Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 He does have a point though He does. Some bands can pull a stunt like this and not lose money. Alot however would not be able to do this. Especially bands that are still making music past their expiry date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Rose Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 We'll see how much they are..... In the UK they are very reasonably priced at just shy of £13 for the 2cd+dvd version on Amazon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Rose Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 I'm hoping they'll be available on itunes... that way i can buy the rare stuff on the deluxe (b-sides i don't have, live performances) This is when iTunes will screw you over and put the rare stuff as album-only :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
