There'd been a warning few weeks ago, but I'd taken down ~12 videos: anything, I thought, that might possibly be a problem. If anyone has a contact at YouTube, I'd be curious to find out exactly what was the problem, because I really don't know. Sometime soon, as time allows, I'll create a davis80smusic site with the Game Theory and Loud Family video clips. Robert ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 29 Oct 2008 10:15:53 -1000 From: "R.

I know this has been discussed ad infinitum, but I've never been able to wrap my brain around why the RIAA would object to having music that is rarely played anywhere available on YouTube. Indeed, it isn't as if you're going to flip on the radio and hear, for example, Let's Active or The Three O'Clock. Indeed, the easiest way of exposing potential new audience members to older and obscure music is to forward them to a site where they can easily hear it for free. Furthermore, the folks in our age range (i.e. old enough to have been in college when Game Theory was active) are still used to paying for music, so we are, if anything, more likely to buy a copy of an obscure track once we've been exposed to it again. For instance, I just watched some Can on YouTube and spent a bunch of money right afterwards downloading a bunch of their music. Had Can not been on YouTube, I wouldn't have taken the leap. So, anyhow, what is the advantage to the copywright holders to preventing us from listening to Belouis Some (whose records aren't even in print ferchisakes) for free? R.
