can anyone anyone explain that (Johnny Chavello)?
I read somewhere that this is a risky strategy to do when someone threatens to sue you. For example, Beasties' former label lawyers call up or send a letter asking for Goldieblox to remove the video from the internet. Then Goldieblox sues Beastie Boys and their former label saying back off Goldieblox's rights to use the song to sell crap. Unfair and risky. Hope the court stops this cheap attempt at making profit off naive parents. The manipulativeness of advertisers never ceases to amaze me.



"A lot of record companies look at the numbers and they'll be like, 'Your first record sold 5 million and your second record sold only 800,000. What happened? You guys fell off, I think the band all feels that the record did really well. Most musicians I grew up playing music with would probably shoot me if I ever complained about selling 800,000 records."
