Warner Music and YouTube have made a deal!
According to the ever-so-reliable Mashable.com; Warner Music and Youtube have finally found a compromise for their long term dispute, which resulted in pulling many videos off YT nine months ago. For those of you not paying attention: yes, this is why your Red Hot Chili Peppers clips were getting deleted, muted and this is why your accounts were getting suspended. While the announcement wasn’t unexpected, the call did reveal a few new details, including: – User-generated content using Warner Music artists and labels will make its return to YouTube as well. – Warner Music Group will be allowed to run ads against its content. – Warner Music will get a…

This year’s Johnny Ramone memorial event in October
Given that John was present at a couple of events that celebrated the memory of the late Johnny Ramone and that many people who visit this site like The Ramones, this is obviously a topic of interest. The fifth anual Johnny Ramone tribute will take place on the Hollywood Forever Cemetery on 03rd October at 5:30 PM and the admission is, once again, 10$. Remember, this money goes to a good cause – prostate cancer research – and last year even the celebrity guests paid their tickets just like everyone else. The event is, as usual, presented by the late Johnny Ramone’s widow, Linda and a full-length, vintage Ramones concert…

Warners and YouTube talk again. Might be good news.
As reported by CNET news, it appears that Warner Bros and YouTube are in talks again; which could possibly result in benefits to all people who were uploading RHCP (and other musicians’ stuff) to YT and got banned, even for background music in their slideshows sometimes. Six months ago, talks between Warner Music Group and YouTube over the licensing of the label’s music videos broke down, and since then, anyone looking for official clips from acts such as The Red Hot Chili Peppers, Death Cab for Cutie, and Green Day has likely been disappointed. That presumably could change as the companies have entered into a new round of talks, according…

Starting a week with an impressive cover song!
I hope you all gave blood today (as it’s the world blood donors’s day) and saved someone’s life…either way, this week will end with something really cool, so it has to start with something really cool. Our Facebook friends and Twitter followers as well as forum members have already seen this, but it’s just so good that it has to be featured on the main page.

January 2009 roundup and a recommendation
January is over and it’s been a pretty mad month overall. Whooping 103485 people have visited Invisible Movement and that number would’ve probably been even greater if there wasn’t for the server downtimes due to too much traffic and the day when the bandwidth was eaten within four hours. Either way, THANK YOU and six-digit kudos for this six-digit number of mostly wonderful people; thanks for dropping by. If you’re new and if you weren’t coming to this very corner of the web, welcome. Soooo…given that way too much was going on in January, I thought I’d present you all with a little compilation of all the interesting news and…

Warner Bros’ videos are being pulled off YouTube
Warner Bros are mass-pulling music videos off YouTube since Saturday (20th December). Reportedly, their negotiations with Google, who own YouTube fell apart and there’s nothing else in sight apart from this rather radical solution. Unfortunately, this includes RHCP videos. Warner Music Group ordered YouTube on Saturday to remove all music videos by its artists from the popular online video-sharing site after contract negotiations broke down. The order could affect hundreds of thousands of videos clips, as it covers Warner Music’s recorded artists as well as the rights for songs published by its Warner/Chappell unit, which includes many artists not signed to Warner Music record labels. Warner Music, home to artists…
