I first heard about your music through seeing that video. I'm glad I saw it, because your stuff is great. I'm really glad the guys who made the video are working with you to give you proper credit. It's a funny video, and helping to spread your tunes is good times. :) Hey Matthew. I first heard about your music through seeing that video. I’m glad I saw it, because your stuff is great.

The whole protest prank was very guerilla but yet we should have taken the time to talk to the man himself as it could be a win win as countless viewers have emailed asking where they can buy the song. I hope we can work something out. Again, we really and sincerely apologize and have learned a lesson here in that if we are striving to be professionals we have to act professional and can't get away with Junior High-type music lifting antics. Especially to someone who is so easy to get in contact with. We apologize to Matthew and his fans and look forward to righting the wrong and getting on with the business of exposing new fans to this talented artist. We bow our ninja heads in shame and have seppuku swords at the ready... on your word Sensei Ebel...

I don't know where they got the other tune, but I hope they're asking permission to use that one before they re-up the video. Dirk - Thanks for pointing out the other discussion going on. It's good to see that some people are indeed aware that copyrights exist to protect starving artists like me, not make the RIAA richer and meaner. Fortunately, I'm not RIAA-backed and I can actually <em>talk</em> to the video's producers to make sure they're doing things right. It's not about what's legal, after all, it's about what's <i>right</i>. They seem to understand that, I hope their fans will too. :) Matt -
