Ok so, I've got a list of music videos on my site (http://www.u2boy.nl/u2/u2_music_videos.php)
and a about a quarter of them have been removed the past couple of days, all with the following message:
If you've been following the news you'll know that Viacom wants 100.000 videos offline (http://www.internetnews.com/xSP/article.php/3657771)
But how on earth are viacom and u2 connected?!
Since when does viacom own the copyright on U2 videos?
I'm amazed by this because Universal has struck a deal with youtube: http://news.com.com/YouTube+cuts+three+content+deals/2100-1030_3-6123914.html
Universal has even started posting U2 videos on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=universalmusicgroup
And now viacom is removing them?!
Can anyone explain this to me?
