Ladies and Gentlemen, Warner Music Group forced me to remove the music from the video and replace approved music from Audio Swap.
Instead of allowing me to promote one of their artists and sell their music, they penalize the promoter who hasn't made one thin dime at all, while they have raked in millions more since his death. Screw WMG.

  • god give us back isaac hayes we will offer you justin bieber

  • @xlxfjh Dear Mr shareholder.

    when a film or music is considered art, it is due to the fact that the piece of art promoted certain ideas and values that should be accessible for everyone. People like you, Mr. Shareholder, will never understand the true meaning of art and creativity. As an artist, one has to earn credibility through e.g. touring and promoting music. Therefore it is not sufficient to create one or two 'masterpieces' that pay generations of businessmen until they burst eventually.

  • Looks like the industry got an unexpected surprise when they bent over to pick up the sopa.

  • @vevoumgwmg i thought since the link to amazon was posted that was a kind of permission, guess not.

  • @wouter040795 Problems is God wants to keep Isaac Hayes.

  • wmg doesnt want any more heros

  • @xlxfjh Once you put something online, it will always be out there. People will take it for free, I didn't make the rule but that's just the way it is. WMG just needs to accept this and stop trying to censor every creative work on youtube that just happens to feature music that the WMG "owns." Look at all the hate for the company that this has generated. It's bad for you, me, WMG, and YouTube.

  • Warners suck, i was in this industry for a time parrallel importing and warners were the dunbest company i came across. They all sit there wishing the 80's would come back .......don't worry it's the last little sabre rattle of a company that has not evolved with the times and is desparately trying to hold back the tide.

  • 08/16/11 "Record Industry Braces for Artists’ Battles Over Song Rights"

    Search this and read. The shysters and leaches are already scared and reaching for the lawyers.

    "...the recording industry has made a gazillion dollars on those masters, more than the artists have"

  • @SamPD2 He might be dead, but his property still has a rightful owner...and it ain't this guy.

  • @vevoumgwmg Are you kidding?

    He is dead. Yet they want to make every ounce of money from it.

    I don't see any harm whatsoever in uploading this video.
