Like everyone else, I discovered the band OK Go via their brilliant videos that have become a viral phenomenum. But now that they have a contract with EMI, the embed code feature has been disabled from all their videos on Youtube !
Here is what the band had to say in an open letter to their fans.
“And, voilá: four years after we posted our first homemade videos to YouTube and they spread across the globe faster than swine flu, making our bassist’s glasses recognizable to 70-year-olds in Wichita and 5-year-olds in Seoul and eventually turning a tidy little profit for EMI, we’re – unbelievably – stuck in the position of arguing with our own label about the merits of having our videos be easily shared. It’s like the world has gone backwards.”
