Do metal heads care? No.
The user posts about this topic on Digg.com are pretty hilarious. Check out the first comment below and the rest here
“Wow guys, this is awesome! I’ve been looking for a new place to view music videos from all of my favorite UNIVERSAL MUSIC GROUP artists! It’s exciting to me that I can finally be one hundred percent sure I’m sending revenue to the biggest, most out-of-touch dinosaur of a giant multi-national corporation when I watch music videos online! I’ll even be helping the RIAA stay in business…”
…”You know, sometimes I would find music videos on YouTube from my favorite UNIVERSAL MUSIC GROUP artists, but it appeared that they’d been uploaded ILLEGALLY by some fan trying to steal money from hard-working lawyers and executives! It made me feel dirty for watching videos that weren’t provided to me officially by UNIVERSAL MUSIC GROUP – it felt like I was stealing! Thankfully all of that moral ambiguity will be gone now that VEVO is here! If history is any indication, all of my favorite UNIVERSAL MUSIC GROUP videos on VEVO will include all of the great features that I, the consumer, have come to expect from UNIVERSAL MUSIC GROUP, like LOTS of cool advertisements during the videos, and a special feature that makes sure I can’t repost the video on anyone other websites – that would be stealing!! Golly everyone I’m SO PSYCHED for this cool new website!”
Now go listen to Napalm Death’s “Multinational Corporations”.
