greedy bastards!

Ultimatley what all of these large corporations want
is to change the relationship between them and the "consumer".In achieving that we would PAY PER PLAY
on everything.Thats everything--Maybe they would like us to pay for commercials too.So much as they would
like to see this happen,Im afraid they just arent
willing to accept defeat when they so obviously have
lost.What they need to do now is SWALLOW thier dignity,and admit that P2P is the bigger giant and
they are the ones who've been stepped on.

Thats just plain greedy

that is greedy cannot agree with you all more:)

I'm not exactly sure if this is very viable. I mean, music videos are sold now already in the form of dvd music video. I've never understood music video. Who on earth buys music videos. Live concerts, maybe. What makes you want to sit down and say, "Cool, I want to watch that again, and again, and again..." like a movie does to warrent its purpose. If that was what video was all about, who'd need a storyline? Why would you need all of those screenwriters for? All this for a bunch of short five-minute clips. Sure, Weird Al's got a knack for those kind of things, but that's about all there is to it. Sure, there's creativity, but they're still ads.

Your bandwidth is what they buy, not the other way around. Why buy ads when they're used to buy you in the first place? If that were the case, there'd be PBS TV. That's it.

I agree with you all. Music videos are ads to get you to buy the record. Now they want to charge for their ads. Funny, ironic, and stupid.

greed greed greed i dont know what else to say about this

So couldn´t an influencial party like MTV just say "Fuck that shit, we won´t show your videos on any of our channels".

Surely UMG would then have to rethink their position.

I agree. Its just one more way for the record companies try to squeeze blood out of a rock. I hope that all of the music video channels tell the record companies to stick this idea up their six o clock. Total BOVINE SCAFFOLOGY.
