Radiohead VS Prince


This is a funny story about musicians who are so not into sharing their music without getting paid versus those who are into this free music for all vibe. It's weird how Youtube and their censorship has become this battle ground for debates about free speech and ownership. Though I do agree if you cover someone's song then they should have some say if it stays up on Youtube or not.

"...when Radiohead caught wind of Prince's cover of THEIR song frontman Thom Yorke and company wanted to watch it, only to find that it had been pulled down by Prince's peeps from YouTube. 'Really? He's blocked it?' Yorke told the AP....'Well, tell him to unblock it. It's our ... song."
