It sounds as though you won't be able to get a music DVD of your favourite BMG artist any more. So no Pink DVD, or Shayne Ward, or any other!

How do you know? Where is this from?

Sad if true!

That is highly unfair as there are a lot of people who either do have a PC, or do not have broadband to enable them to watch music videos.
This seems a way of saving them money more than anything else, flaming cheap skates.

You are so right. I am at a loss as to why they have decided on this route.

*grumbles* Why couldn't they announce that next year and not a month ahead of Christina's concert?

Yes, I did see that. So you mean its a personal reply from an individual enquiry, rather than an official statement. So it may not be general.
I'm hoping for a DVD of George Michael's tour later in the year. My fingers are still crossed. I believe he's with SBMG isn't he.

Yes it is a personal reply but the letter implies that there will be no more DVDs issued. It had better be general or else there will be ructions.

I am not sure if GM is with SBMG - wasn't it Sony he had the row with a few years ago when he couldn't release anything for five years?

Seems odd. Obviously they're not making much money on music dvds.
