Beyonce's video blocked by own record label


Beyoncé YouTube Page Blocked by Sony – After dispelling rumors that Beyoncè was pregnant, Sony – the singer’s record label, has now taken action on YouTube, removing her music videos.

Sony has blocked all of the multi-Grammy-winning artist’s videos in the US on the video sharing site and replaced them with a message which reads: “This video contains content from Sony Music Entertainment, who has blocked it in your country on copyright grounds.” Viewers are still able to see them in other countries.

The action comes on the heels of a copyright infringement issue involving Beyoncè’s label, and as techie website Motherboard point out, no doubt stems from the floundering record industry and its desire to have a piece of the online video biz, reports E!Online.com.

There’s no word yet on how long it will take for Beyoncè’s YouTube channel to be active or when videos will be live again.

Meanwhile, Beyoncè’s new TV ad for the Nintendo DS game “Style Savvy” has hit YouTube. The clothing line designer has been backing the game for quite awhile along with tons of other products she endorses. The commercial looks reminiscent of an episode from the retro Nickelodeon kids’ game show Double Dare, as she gets slimed with green goo covering her head and body in the 30-second clip.
