I think this is an absolutely ridiculous load of crap from PSC!

I would understand if the company were freaking out because too many people were uploading albums/singles from these bands. But that isn't even what we're talking about here. They're telling us we can't use promotional pictures or upload PV's (promotional videos), these are things that literally say, "We are here to PROMOTE the band." The people who post information on these bands (like myself), are basically promoting them for free. They're only going to make it more difficult for overseas fans to get information, and wind up losing a good portion of their fan base, so really they're just majorly screwing themselves over. In the end, this is only going to turn around and bite PSC in the ass.
