Could Capitol Records truly be this misguided? Do they not realize that if you were to sort Internet brands by those most emblematic of creativity — not piracy — that Vimeo would line up at the top? Lip-dubbing is harmless and perfectly fun, and ultimately will define the aesthetic of an Internet generation. Other than for some petty legal jockeying towards a greater strategy can I imagine why this record company would try to sink such a potentially valuable lifeline — Lip-Dubbing and Vimeo create tremendous relevance and usefulness for their catalog!</p> <p>If anything better underlines my point it’s <b>an email I received from Sean Nelson, the frontman of the band Harvey Danger</b>, whose song <i>Flagpole Sitta</i> <a href="http://www.vimeo.com/173714" target="_blank">we’ve now infamously lip-dubbed</a>:</p> <blockquote>That <i>Flagpole Sitta</i> video made me incredibly happy, just when I thought there was NOTHING that could make me listen to that song again. A thousand thank you’s.</blockquote> <p>Capitol, you’re a bunch of goof-balls. This lawsuit is the tactical equivalent to pooping on someone’s birthday cake.</p> <p>I, for one, am willing to boycott Capitol artists unless they reconsider, and I implore other labels to pivot and spur conversations with Vimeo in order to determine a simple process to give people access to copyrighted music for personal video that is satisfactory for all. Preemptive strikes simply won’t do anymore!</p> <p>Please reblog, or honk, if you agree.</p> </blockquote>http://ansonwilson.com/post/286353944http://ansonwilson.com/post/286353944Wed, 16 Dec 2009 13:32:36 -0500<p>This is awesome on at least 3 levels. <a href="http://tinyurl.com/8spq5c" target="_blank">http://tinyurl.com/8spq5c</a></p>http://ansonwilson.com/post/85886820http://ansonwilson.com/post/85886820Thu, 12 Mar 2009 14:53:37 -0400<p><a href="http://twitpic.com/218jd" target="_blank">http://twitpic.com/218jd</a> - @<a href="http://twitter.com/thadeej" target="_blank">thadeej</a> seriously. can you read this?</p>http://ansonwilson.com/post/85886821http://ansonwilson.com/post/85886821Thu, 12 Mar 2009 14:53:37 -0400<p>I got a fax today.
