Wind it Up (Fan Version)

This video a compilation of fan submissions for the Barenaked Ladies Air Guitar contest.

What makes this whole project unique is that BNL went independent for the release of their newest album Barenaked Ladies Are Me. The album is currently available for download without any copy protection on the MP3s.

This is part of the mission of their new label, Nettwerk Music Group. As they say in their mission statement:

…as per Nettwerk copyrights, we have never sued anybody and all our music is open source to encourage fans to share it with others and help us promote our Artists. As per those Artists we manage on other labels (Majors), we take issue with those labels claiming that litigating our fans is in our interest, as it clearly is not.

Since we at Powet.TV are out to change the way people make and watch television, we thought it was only appropriate to spotlight companies changing the way that music fans listen to their favorite artists.
