I didn't realize that the Live on Letterman videos stayed available on the LS site. I always assumed that they would be taken down after a week or ten days, after fans of the band had a chance to play them. and if that's what comes out of a negotiation, it doesn't seem unreasonable to me: a performance by a band can be seen on the late night show's web site for 10 days and afterward can be viewed on Vevo or another label-backed video site. After all, policy won't change globally unless all labels, large and small, present a united front. I don't know if the large labels can coordinate on the issue and the small labels seem to like the current arrangement. One indicator of what might happen in the future is what happens to the Live on Letterman videos when the show goes off the air. -- -- TV or Not TV .... The Smartest (TV) People!
