Sure YT and now Vevo will get their views but one site can’t do what 1000′s could. They should’ve allowed you to embed with their ads…

The thrill is gone and because I have 4 tenagers I know they do not visit myspace no dom there peers. Beyonce used to have literally hundreds of thousands of plays on each of her songs but the other day I checked one of her songs had a pitful 5, 000. I know many industry producers, management agencies and artists who do not even log on, some for over year now,

Youtube will soon follow and if it does not get Emi off its back, trying to back engineer a model of participation that was working is a disaster, that and the spanish sentence on 5 google executives. And facebook is trying to wring cash out of teenagers supposedly contemplating charges!! food for thought, my 14 year old son, did not want myspace never signed up, guess what he is on twitter.

OK Go made its name — hell, became a PIONEER of the art of viral video — off those early videos, in particular the treadmill vid. For EMI to deny that and also to ignore the striking fact (which Kulash shares in his Op-Ed) that the money made in restricting videos is basically nothing and even discourages overall viewing, is just more evidence of how major labels are chewing their legs off instead of working to become relevant in a new era. More of my thoughts here. http://bit.ly/chsIYG

However, he is complaining aboutYouTube distribution practices? What’s wrong, he too scared and chicken liver to complain to EMI?

Just post a link to the video on YouTube and be done with it. Not that big a deal.
