The funny thing is that just a week or so ago, I read an interview woth one of the band members (in the NY Times? can't remember...). Anyway, he was complaining that the terms of their record company contract technically prevents them (the band) from posting videos online like this, even though the millions of viewings from the "treadmill video" made their record go viral and sell hundreds of thousands of copies... he also said that their last royalty check from digital video rights was something like $27....
I was able to see it on a link from the Gomez myspace page and I guess what Gregory pointed out for us to look at might have been posted "unofficially" by an OK Go fan.....
I wonder if, someday, traditional record companies might get their act together....... or are they doomed? Sales off, mismanagement of digital strategies, examples onerous "care and handling" of their customers abound etc etc etc
Mike
