Hope you’re having a great Christmas. Things here are good. Kids are having a fun Christmas.

I’ll try to remember to drop you a note tomorrow with all of my new info. I’m a slacker. But you already knew that. :-)

Rich

I was pretty bent last night when I got the email from Youtube. I figured it was the record company or some sub section of it that caused the problem.

I just started reading your website and I see a LOT of comments about this. So, I’m not alone.

I like Green Day, but the record companies themselves just don’t get it. They will happily screw over the artists in their quest for content control. Control being the operative word.

I run a Green Day site and was interested in this story because Green Day has always been really easy-going when it comes to people using their stuff. So i looked a bit into it.

It looks like the issue is apparently from a break between their label (Warner) and YouTube. I’m upset about this because Warner once again fails to realize that someone using a video in the background of a tribute video isn’t hurting their business. But as a result of the deal being broken between the two companies, YouTube is now removing tons of content by artists from Warner.
