Amanda Palmer Asks Fans To Upload Her Anti-Record Label Song To YouTube

You may recall (of course) that Warner Music and Google are in a fight  
over YouTube. Warner Music is demanding that Google pay more than

been pulled from YouTube. Of course, this is actually pissing off  
numerous Warner Music musicians, who realize that YouTube (even if not  
paying directly for their videos) benefits their careers greatly. One

subsidiary of WMG. She was one of the first to complain about Warner  
pulling her videos from YouTube. Now she's going even further. Rose M.  
Welch sends in a link to a YouTube video of a recent Amanda Palmer  
concert where she first tells the camera operator to make sure he puts  
the video on YouTube so she can watch it, and then sings a song to her  
record label, demanding they drop her:
