Blasphemous Words

So what's the deal been with YouTube lately? A bunch of videos of concerts for bands that I like have suddenly disappeared.

The funny thing is that these bands are not on major labels and really not on the RIAA's radar. Secondly, many of these bands are old enough now to care little about duplicated intellectual property and enjoy the public's enjoyment of such things. I mean, plenty of other works of theirs are still on there.

What are the recent casualties? The best live version of Einstürzende Neubauten's Befindlichkeit des Landes I've seen and a very thrilling version of Front 242's Red Team. OK. OK. My music tastes are dated. Deal.

Forever lost will these treasures be.
