22 February 2010OK Go Isn't Allowed To Go Viral Again

Damian Kulash Jr., the lead singer of OK Go - a band probably most famous for its music videos like this and this– has a piece in the New York Times, in which he says that their label, EMI, no longer allows people to embed their video clips on websites.

Interestingly, he gives a pretty convincing argument that not only are these sort of restrictions bad for his band because fewer people see their clips, it's actually financially detrimental also. He also points out that the video clip for "Here it Goes Again" was made "without telling EMI... and posted... [on] YouTube without EMI’s permission."
