GYEO wrote a story only yesterday about the ‘new’ version of Revolution which was kindly uploaded by god knows who and hosted by You Tube. One of our users pasted the clip into our Beatles Pages and we linked to it in our article so people could check it out.
Now we ain’t the reason this thing has been blocked of course that’s You Tube’s traffic (we wish) but do these guys get it?? What’s wrong with the music industry? (Specifically EMI in this case). The bloggers and the myriad of smaller sites help create the ‘groundswell’!
The Internet is about collaboration. You can’t stop it. Learn to live with it – use it don’t fight it – you can’t win.
You Tube promotes the clip
Interest is created
The quality of the recording is poor
You release a top quality version of the track
Purists buy it and you make money
Some people will always take it for nothing whilst they can but they talk about it, promote and keep the interest in Beatles music going down the generations.
Is it just us or do the majors blocking their content on You Tube really piss you off?
You Tube is like a radio station or jukebox to me – I still BUY the music I like so I can listen to a top quality version when I want to but You Tube provides a great service. The labels get share on advertising around their content don’t they? Drives GYEO MAD!
