Well, if the PIPA/SOPA bills gets pushed, which by the looks of things I don't think they will, then I'd say, no you're not being pessimistic and there would be good chance of that sort of thing actually happening. But like I said, I don't see those bills going through, so I think YouTube is safe to infringe upon international copyright treaties for another day.

Quote: all they need to do is announce when tickets will go on sale and the prices for various seats/standing so people can determine which shows they will be able to attend. this keeps up and i'm afraid NY is going to be a big disappointment. would be a shame since they've talked so much about going to MSG to the press.

Yeah, that's especially what gets me. They're playing at Madison Square Garden, one of the most prestegious music halls in the entire United States of America, but they're really doing just about everything they can to ensure that not only do they fail to sell out such an enormous arena. Unless, of course, they're relying on undying fan loyalty despite of a currently weak economy and expecting the fans to spend all their life savings and grocery moey for the next two years to book a last-minute flight to New York City to attend the concert, which is an equally ludicrous strategy.
