no doubt WB will take this one down, too. Rolling Eyes The big wigs at WB haven't a clue on how to utilize the new media. It's all about prevention of piracy and/or free access to music, and not about promotion to them. youtube videos are nothing more than free publicity. Especially for a band not being played on television. The WB take-down did nothing but hurt up and coming bands, and the label itself for that matter.

Music videos are, inherently, advertisements.
The fact that WB (though they're certainly not alone) thinks they can charge for them shows just how little these major corporations understand the consumer and/or basic successful business practices.

Wasn't there another version of Invasion that Boyd mentioned that was meant for TV as this was just a net video?

This was supposed to be just a net video. Warner Brothers never made the "real" video.

Thought so, I would have liked to have seen at least ONE made for TV video from the album but oh well.

WB had removed a number of videos from their official YouTube page including Invasion and a couple of R.E.M. videos I had as favorites. Some REM videos had also disappeared from the official REM page, but they seem to have returned. Hmmm. Go figure.

I read about a month ago that WB was on the verge of reaching an agreement with YouTube, so maybe that went through. Seems likely.

Oh good deal, Youtube's too valuable of a promotion site not to have a presence on. Awhile back I used a couple of songs by Cake and Unkle (feat. Duke Spirit) on vids and all that happened was Sony put pop-up ads that linked to the songs on Amazon. I thought that was a good solution, looks like WB thought so too.
