Copyright claims breaks Death Cab for Cutie's own videos on their website

Step 1, make music. Step 2, get noticed. Step 3, join major label. Step 4, make some money and lots of fame. Step 5, get screwed repeatedly. This step repeats for a long time.

Once-indie, once-rock band Death Cab for Cutie lost all of the YouTube-hosted videos on their website thanks to a falling out between the Google video website and their label, Warner Music Group. Pretty embarrassing for a band when fans click on a video on their website, and it's absent due to "copyright claims."

This comment is no longer available due to a copyright claim by WMG.

Things used to be this way in Hollywood. Actors were underpaid and under the thumb of execs. (I don't know how, but) They rose up and now have control that would've been unheard of 70 years ago. Why hasn't this happened in the music industry?

Looks like we can look forward to DRM free DCFC music in the future.

That sucks. That was definitely the best work that Robin Williams has done in a long time. Edward Norton was good, as usual. A funny-ass dark comedy.
