It’s crass capitalism, my friends. Crass capitalism.
So, my RedState 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 on YouTube 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
Hey, that’s the great thing about capitalism. It isn’t a zero-sum game.
And what if I was given The Killers latest album at Christmas and own the rest of their stuff??

I dunno, Aaron. Go somewhere else on Amazon and buy something else, maybe? 🙂
Off topic but, Moe, Ilove your background. What’s it from?
Random search for steampunk imagery. I’d love to find the artist, actually.
