Death Cab site killed by copyright notice (from it's own label)
Mashable’s got the story of the Death Cab for Cutie web site whose main video from YouTube was unavailable after it’s own label filed a DMCA copyright complaint with the popular video sharing site.
This is just too sad/funny/noteworthy to let pass. The band’s own marketing was damaged by the actions of its label and the label’s legal team’s aggressive takedown efforts. Of course, why would the label care about one band when they’re busy fighting tooth and nail for their relevance? I guess the answer is they don’t.
From Mashable:
The explanation is likely simple: the band, or its staff, embedded an unauthorized YouTube version of the music video which was later removed from YouTube. (Incidentally, DCFC has removed the embed code entirely this evening after the story began rising on social news site Reddit).
