So, my cobloggers Caleb and Leon over on Youtube created this great video, using music from The Killers
…and they got an email from UMG about content rights. The standard position for UMG seems to be that they aren’t giving up their copyrights, but if they can toss up an advertisement and buttons for buying the song/album, everything’s cool. Which is a sensible position for them to take, I think: so by all means, go buy some stuff from The Killers

There are a few I might actually download and buy later when I can get a line item in the family budget. There you go. A sale they wouldn’t have made (more than likely) if they hadn’t been reasonable.
I may not agree with what you say but I’ll defend your right to say it to the very death.
Done. $3.96 spent on iTunes.
