Who knows about AMVs. If they have copyrighted material in them...
Companies don't really understand the internet, it seems. They're in it to make as much money in the short term as possible without questioning whether their strategy is feasible. That's why they're trying to cut down on illegal music downloads or the like - even taking music videos or performances offline. It's ridiculous; it annoys customers who might have felt inclined to purchase material if they were allowed to properly sample it (and those who don't might not have bought it anyway). Nevertheless, companies are concerned about controlling everything they release even when it means not caring about the world.
(For example: Gee, thanks, "official" online streaming sites, for only allowing the material to be viewed in the US.)
