In case you haven't heard of any bad decisions from the record industry lately...

I was perusing YouTube today for a look at Sophie Ellis Bextor's Me And My Imagination video.  I heard it in my car (on the iPod, no radio stations that cool remotely near me) and wanted to see the rather not ugly Sophie sing it to me herself.  So I find her very official page at http://www.youtube.com/user/sophieellisbextortv.  I scroll down to find said video and am greeted with "This video contains content from UMG.  It is no longer available."  WTF?!  I clicked on a few more and received the same message.  Um, what?

I am going to point out that Ms. Bextor is singed to Polydor Records.  ...WHICH IS OWNED BY UNIVERSAL!!!  She's been on Polydor/Universal from day one!!!

To summarize:  Sophie Ellis Bextor.  Hot.  Great singer.  Singed to world's biggest record company.  DOES NOT HAVE PERMISSION TO PLAY HER OWN VIDEOS ON HER OWN OFFICIAL YOUTUBE PAGE!!!!!!!!!

In keeping PC, this may have a simple explanation (if so, please enlighten me), but I'm smelling another unbelievably asinine move by the big record labels.

Unglaublich!!!!
