Well if they don't, another website that does allow it will get more traffic, sux to be YouTube.

And such website will be probably be free of wannabe mediocre commedians. Hmmm... now that I think about it , another website doesn't sound as bad.

That's why GOD created Spotify, it is however not meant for mere mortals such as you folks.

Damnit, not availaible in Canada.

As for getting songs off youtube, it's incredibly easy.

Youtube are turning into Xenophobic pricks. That is why I use Google videos.
You do realize that Google owns both Google Videos and Youtube, right?
 
Good thing for every music video there are 5 alternate videos~

EDIT: Hm, nuclear blast still up for me~
 
I got pretty shafted by this. I had a five minute video with my own footage and animation that I made way back in college, but it had roughly twenty seconds of a Doors song for the credits.

BANG!

And the dirt is gone. :sad:
 
Lol, keep it coming. Just keep it coming. All of these idiotic actions will just accelerate the demise of the current music industry and boy is it about time that those fat asses die off once and for all.
 
The music coorporations should just have evolved way earlier with the internet by offering easy,cheap and fast music download services.
Now they realise that and they are desperately trying to hold on to their old ways.

You know, you can just use a US proxy to access them.
I was implying such things, but simply afraid of being branded a buccaneer of the chocolate seas :cry:
 
This is an inconvenience, especially for discovering new musicians, agreed. It won't affect me personally.
I didn't even know that there were restrictions on the Canadian site, which is probably why I thought that YouTube sucked ass anyway. I use a variety of other means for discovering new music.
There are also sites that can let you listen to only the audio file from YouTube, as a proxy. No downloading, though.

As to the music industry, I would say that they are as hard as iron. When the times change, they stiffen, and resist, and break, for iron cannot bend.
Let's hope that happens soon.

They are a collaboration of ultra-rich corporate bastards that take money from artists, thus stealing the gains from the proper recipients, and propagate a "music-for-profit" culture that promotes a singular, one-type music formula meant not to express the human condition, but to gain profits for the recording labels involved. It is this "music-for-profit" culture today that drove strong, actual, music underground, which is only now making a comeback. For example, a group of influential artists in Canada, heavily involved in the scene for decades, having sold many albums and been generally successful, while staying true to their art,  have formed an artist's label collective. It's a by-the-artists, for-the-artists initiative to bypass the greedy and heavy-handed tactics of the RIAA and its similarly styled companies.

Piracy necessitates copyright infringement, which is a completely different kettle of fish (or the illegal seizure of merchant shipping, but I don't see how a proxy would help there)
