Given and Taken in Ink

Week of Wilco cancelled

Aw, the Week of Wilco came to an abrupt and inglorious end.  Warner Music Group pulled the YouTube videos of The Whole Love.  This is kinda odd when you consider all those articles about how Wilco launched their own label, dBpm, with assistance from ANTI- for marketing and distribution.  I don't think Warner is associated with either ANTI- or dBpm, and Wikipedia doesn't seem to think so, either.

Wilco used to be on Nonesuch Records, which is a subsidiary of Warner.  But why would Warner be able to make a copyright claim for new music after Wilco left the label?  I'd really appreciate if anyone label-smart felt like explaining this.

The music industry is fucked up...
