warner removing radiohead videos?

WARNER?!?

Since when have people starting losing money because of youtube?

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

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.

*cough*Guy Hands of EMI*cough*

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.

yeah but still don't get why would WARNER take down RADIOHEAD videos???

Just googled, looks like Warner and EMI merged a while ago.

oh .. shit.

So once again, shake our collective fists at the powers that be.

this is so stupid. gahhh

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.)

Maybe this retard should realize that not only did this idea work because Radiohead has fans devoted enough to willingly pay, as well as offering a free album to newcomers so they can become fans (like me).

He does have a point though

I still see radiohead videos on youtube :thinking:

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.

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.

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
