video not availablei was going through the music videos that sonybmg posted over at youtube and i found an interesting one that i decided to view. upon clicking, i got the screenshot you see here saying, “this video is not available in your country.”

what the… ?

is this like a dvd region thing? that idea was stupid to begin with. it just inconvenienced the consumer and i for one didn’t get to buy an original dvd or two because it was some other region that my player wasn’t suppose to read. that’s lost income right there.

and now the stupid idea comes to the internet. i would understand it if the reason for it not being available is if it will compromise national security. dudes, its a music video. i’m not exactly sure if it will make a dent in philippine national security.

i got to see the video anyway. ;) the song is okay. the video wasn’t.
