NBC, a.k.a. "The Man", is holding me down

December 1, 2008 in Music, TV with View Comments

I just got an email today regarding a video I had up on Youtube.  The video was of the band Third Day playing a song on Leno several months ago.  That was it, just a chance for people to see the performance if they had missed it when it originally was broadcast.

Fast forward today.  I received this in my inbox:

Dear adamriggins5108,

Your video “Third Day Live on The Tonight Show 7.29.2008″ has been identified by YouTube’s Content Identification program as containing copyrighted content which NBC Universal claims is theirs.

Your video is no longer available because NBC Universal has chosen to block it.

That’s so lame!  What do you think?  Is NBC being just a little uptight, or are they acting reasonably?

By the way, here is that video on Vimeo, just to stick it back to the man.

  • I just toured NBC studios this past weekend in NY, and the pages there explained how NBC has strict copywright issues. We couldn't even go to the bathroom, because they would have to kick uss off the tour. I hate rules like this!!!

  • Well...if they still have it available on their web site, they are probably selling advertising for it also.

    Crappy...but they are right.

    I'm not sure if the band itself didn't have the video posted on their sight too. Wonder if 'the man' told them the same thing?

    How stupid! Stick it to the Man, Adam!!!!!
