This is from Jamey Ice who is the lead guitarist of Green River Ordinance, a band I really enjoy. He tweeted this morning that the band’s former label, EMI, had removed a music video from YouTube, claiming sole copyright of the song. Even though the band financed the video by arranging a KickStarter account and filmed it long after leaving the label, EMI still blocked it.
I’m speechless. SOPA’s getting personal now…
Gross shit right here.
I’m not sure who this band is, but this is infuriating. Don’t they have any legal recourse?
To my anon: THIS is also how SOPA negatively impacts artists by giving producers all the power.
Oh, for crying out loud. No. Just… Aughghgh this is bad things.
