To further detail how out of touch the entertainment industry is: I linked a YouTube video of Adele’s performance at The Grammy’s (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3uVQ0GKhYZU) but it has been taken down from YouTube due to a copyright claim by The Grammy’s.
You must be kidding me! Wow, not seeing for forest for the trees, much, Grammy’s? I’m giving free publicity to CBS, The Grammy’s, XL/Columbia Records and Adele.
It’s called a “loss leader” — perhaps you’d heard of it while getting your MBA. And you take down the video because you think you’re losing money by people not going here instead http://www.cbs.com/shows/grammys/video/ except you don’t have the the indexing or crowd sourcing power that does YouTube, and your online broadcast content is simply terrible!
Idiots.
This is a great example of why SOPA, PIPA and *ACTA* are death sentences for the internet as we know it — and also our best available free exchange of information.
Sorry, I’m actually mad now.
P.S. I just realized that this is my 150th post on this blog. So, yeah.
