It's even stupider that it's such a big deal to *watch* music video's for free online. I mean downloading obviously hurts them saleswise, but the premium video's are ones the record companies themselves upload, and are free promotion for them!
If people can't stream the songs on YouTube, aren't they more likely to try downloading them instead? And by d/l they're gonna get the actual files to listen too, and be less likely to buy the CDs.
