• Why does Vevo occasionally block youtube videos?
    45 replies, posted
So I was like going to youtube to listen to some of my current favourite music songs a few days ago and like half my play list was blocked because they were 'Vevo' songs. It said the song was blocked in my country (Canada). Anyway the songs were blocked for like 5 days and today they were unbanned. Why does Vevo occasionally block songs to Canada and other countries? I don't understand how those people at Vevo think. Also the songs: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nzY2Qcu5i2Ap[/media] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eFTLKWw542g[/media]
Blocked for me
Why does Vevo also feel it's right to only upload the clean versions of songs? They can't upload both? Forget them. I'll find another site.
Blocked for me, living in Sweden.
Some stuff ain't blocked in Australia, but it won't work on my damn iPod Touch!
Blocked for me, Norway.
Unblocked, United States.
Blocked, Finland.
Neither are blocked here in the US, for me anyway.
I hate VEVO. Removing youtube videos containing songs so they can make ad money.
Unblocked for me: Canada
Appears only North America is able to access these videos, I'm not able to access either, in UK.

[QUOTE=johanz;22690437]And artists get nothing from that money[/QUOTE] It'd be awesome if we were able to pull a lawsuit off that. HOWEVER, I don't know the law AT ALL or how the hell it works!
Fuck vevo. I'm tired of watching ads at the beginning of music videos.
Both of em work fine for me. [editline]04:02PM[/editline] I have no problem with vevo. I don't have to sift though the videos, that are pictures instead of actual music videos.
What is the point of Vevo?
It works here in the US. And the first music video amused me.
Blocked here in Brazil too.
[QUOTE=Shoupie;22693233]What is the point of Vevo?[/QUOTE] Business. They buy the rights to songs on youtube, but put ads in front of the video and all over the page. They make ad money because they get every other video of that song removed, and anyone on youtube has to pick vevo to watch the video.
[QUOTE=BlackWolf97;22690103]I hate VEVO. Removing youtube videos containing songs so they can make ad money.[/QUOTE] Yeah I remember when rick rolls where getting 21 million hits and was unblocked. Speaking of hits, does anyone notice that new songs are getting millions of views a second? Obviously youtube likes fake hit counts. Oh and I think only Country (not the song type) songs are unblocked. Fuck I hate VEVO, new youtube and hulu since only americans can get all the fucking tv they want. 2007 please
