Was trying to watch Primus' Tommy the Cat and Wynona's Big Brown Beaver when an ugly red bar appears on the top of the screen: this video is not available in your country. hum. Was able to see some live performances and some fan vids, but the actual video for both those songs was inaccessible.

Searching through youtube itself doesn't even show the actual video. Do a google search for it, follow the link to youtube, and you get the ugly red bar.

Luckily you can still access them through Google video, but still. . . 2MB's heavy hand?

2MB's got nothing to do with it.

hmm interesting. Thanks for that.

Tried both ways suggested, got a message saying video is no longer available for either song. Maybe the band is making their videos disappear? not sure bout that.

well say what you want about bands choosing not to allow videos to be seen in Korea, I'm convinced its censorship plain and simple. Too many examples to post here.

Use Google Video (oh the IRony!) if you want to see the videos that youtube korean won't show
