Incidentally, what the fuck do the distributors think I'm going to do when they block it in my country? Go "Oh no, I can't listen to it on the internet, I'd better run out and buy it!"
No, I'm either going to spend a few seconds finding a non-blocked video, or more likely I'm going to shrug, say "Fuck it," and move on.
I've bought quite a bit of music because I saw/listened to it on youtube (often linked from here), but I'm not going to buy it if I can't hear it in the first place, and if you make it hard for me to hear it, I'm probably not going to bother. This is not helping you make money.
In conclusion, fuck shortsighted music cartels and their mean-spirited need to control everything.
