TWD's Agenda for the Day- 9/13/08 (It's Saturday!)

Saturday (Oooh! Ooooh!) - Ludacris
It would have been very appropriate on this day of the week (what some technically consider the Sabbath because it is the day of rest, but not to religionize this day for those who are atheist or agnostic) to embed Ludacris "Saturday (Ooohh, OOhh)" classic from 2002. However, as we mentioned yesterday in the second music thread, Universal Music Group has a lovely tendency of stepping on the little people's toes by disabling the option to embed on most of "their" videos (and if this is the most extreme way I can use quotation marks on a word, then that really is the case right there). Even more exacerbating is the fact that when a regular user on Youtube uploads the same video, it has come into Universal "best" opinion to tell that viewer to disable the embed option on one of "their" videos. And if they don't do so, I think the video may get taken down because of "copyright infringement."

In short, unless you acknowlege our rules so that we can make our profits, then yes, we don't give a damn about what you think. It is selfishness and hectoring at the highest order, and I wish one music artist (JUST ONE ARTIST in the game right now, whether R&B, country, Weird Al Yankovic, whoever) would either know about this going on or voice out in frustration about this. But that is just your "In touch but really out of touch" music industry. Picking the things they wan't you to hear instead of fully giving you the option of your choice. And making sure that you stay happy naive fans instead of rational activists.

Update: Instead, TWD's likes to get on it's inner muckrackin agenda.So with that, we went to the great alternative Imeem, and look-ey here, we got the video. So, enjoy!

The Agenda(and as always, I can't emphasize this enough, the Pending Schedule)is in the comments section.
