Miley Cyrus, Justin Bieber, Taylor Swift videos pulled from MTV site

Miley Cyrus, Justin Bieber, and Taylor Swift videos pulled from MTV.com

If you want to watch the latest music videos from Miley Cyrus, Justin Bieber, or Taylor Swift, don’t try looking for it on MTV’s website. All three musicians are usually featured on www.MTV.com, but for the time being, none of their videos will be getting any exposure from the world famous website.

According to The New York Times, a disagreement between MTV and Vevo, a company backed by Universal, has resulted in a number of videos being pulled from the network. Universal has reportedly pulled the videos of many of its biggest artists until a resolution can be reached with MTV.

In a statement issued on Tuesday, MTV said that the two sides “were unable to reach a fair and equitable agreement.” Universal, in response, said that MTV was “unwilling to negotiate a fair syndication deal with Vevo to carry our artists’ videos.”

Other artists impacted by this dispute include: Lady Gaga, Black Eyed Peas and Rihanna.

It should get interesting the next couple of months because without the exposure from MTV that might deter possible sales and promotions for the artist which in return would affect the revenue for Universal.

Come on Vevo!  Stop ruining everyone’s day with selective demands.  Like the saying goes, “You’ll catch more bees with honey than vinegar.” :]  Having your videos on MTV is an excellent source for publicity and exposure.

Hope everything works out well for both the artist and MTV/Vevo/Universal.
