Ban nothing. Question everything.

AAAHHH

Its country blocked. It won't play in the U.S.

It's a first...

Usually it other way round and videos work in US but are blocked in other countries.
PS: nice song, but singer has to work on his diction - for half of the song I thought that he sings in Portuguese :-)

Sorry

Sorry Dayna. Sorry to anyone some corporate arsehole whose every waking moment revolves around improving his CV has denied the right to watch these fantastic images.

Ban nothing. Question everything.

Remind me to boycot everything EMI has it's septic fingers in!

I consider this a slap in the face to the entire TG and LGBT community! Would they have Blocked it on another site? Sniveling little bean counting bigots. I guess they don't like the USA market either.

Show your contempt with your wallet...

Now, Gee, did I leave anything out?

We are each exactly as God made us. God does not make mistakes!

Gender rights are the new civil rights!

Controversy:

On internet freedom day, EMI evoked much controversy after the removal of Martin Luther King Jr's "I have a dream" speech due to copyright violation... Good God!!!

Its over Youtube

It's over Youtube. EMI I assume is also talking with the European communities about copyright laws. Some songs work others don't so their going through a list of find and break.

I did some research...

Good article at Wiki https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EMI . It seems that this company has been on the skids and in a steep decline for years. So to improve their image (tongue planted firmly in cheek), they have prevented everyone from hearing any of their holdings... Good move guys: It's sure to win the hearts and minds of the listening public.

Obviously the decision of some chair-warming executive who has been promoted far to the wrong side of the Peter Principle! No, I'm not saying he's a dick. Look up the peter principle. http://www.investopedia.com/terms/p/peter-principle.asp

The totalitarian world of corporations

EMI along with all of its ilk amount to medieval kingdoms bent on achieving power. Money does not feed there hunger any more it is about power and there ability to say no. Just like a little kid who just learned to talk, the love to hear there own voice yelling no no no no no. The next is not fair, or snot fair as my kids use to say.

Correct me if I am wrong but corporations like all other big businesses, are not democratic. And if you will bare with me, neither is there religion of capitalism, nor there homes. So exactly where does democracy , fairness, freedom or equality enter there world. Answer only in our imaginations. In fact corporations are the sworn enemy of all of these.
Sorry for soapboxing this is a very painful spot in my life. I will now shut up.

With those with open eyes the world reads like a book

Too bad I couldn't play it here. That's a great song off a great album
by my favorite sixties band that wasn't one. Oh well...

Here's a fun, campy little number off their DUKES OF STRATOSPHERE album
(video looks like it could be from MAGICAL MYSTERY TOUR) that DOES play in the US:

And a pretty good song about a mermaid by a semi-obscure band called The Flock
