Wow. Copyright fears to an extreme! Funny how many copyright holders don't realize that examples such as this (and YouTube) actually increase their exposure and popularity, and likely subsequent profits.

yea... that's pretty sad. google giving millions of people an opportunity to learn about an artist they might not have ever known of taken as a breach of copyright. when will the copyright madness end?
