VEVO CEO Tries To Explain Their Hypocritical Act Of Piracy At Sundance

vevologoYesterday I reported on a bizarre incident I witnessed at Sundance last month: VEVO, the music portal owned by some of the biggest record labels in the US, had a pirated NFL playoff game playing on screens throughout its 'PowerStation' venue.The incident was immensely hypocritical, given that VEVO is owned in part by Universal Music Group and Sony Music Entertainment (with EMI licensing its content to the service) the same music labels that have made a habit of attacking consumers over alleged acts of piracy.Now VEVO CEO Rio Caraeff has written a post to the VEVO blog, where he tries to explain what happend. In it, he writes that the game was accessed and streamed by a guest of the event without VEVO's knowledge.
