The site allows you to watch the latest blockbusters and prime-time tv from a flash player in your web browser. It rocked! That is&#8230;until this morning, when the Malaysian government (that&#8217;s right, my government) shut down the site on the grounds that it hosted [...]]]></description>

&#160;

&#160;
Radiohead heard that Prince was demanding the fan-posted video be taken off YouTube and they started backing the other-side (the fan&#8217;s right to post it). To the band, seeing as it is their song, the copyright is their&#8217;s to give away.

		<title>Violet Hill (Dancing Politicians)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Coldplay made two music videos for Violet Hill. One, for mass consumption on regular tv, and another that they only made available through YouTube.
Dubbed the &#8220;Dancing Politicians&#8221; video, I thought I&#8217;d post it here as well, just in case you missed the link on the band&#8217;s official site. It&#8217;s worth watching.
