Some suit at Warner Music Group is about to find out just what happens when you fuck with Death Cab for Cutie. (Nothing that bad, probably.)

About a month ago, Warner royally pissed off millions when they pulled all videos featuring their music from YouTube, the result of a licensing dispute. And now the four members of Death Cab can count themselves among those millions. Death Cab had been using YouTube embeds to share their music videos on their official site. But now, thanks to Warner's machinations, five of those videos don't work anymore ("Cath...", "I Will Possess Your Heart", "Soul Meets Body", "Crooked Teeth", and "I Will Follow You Into Dark"). You can still watch videos from the band's Barsuk albums, however.

Yesterday, Death Cab put a note up on their site explaining the problem: "The removal of our videos caught us by surprise but we are building a new video player so that we can get these videos back up on the website as soon as possible. Thanks for understanding and for being patient while we sort everything out." Feel the rage!

Death Cab's touring the U.S. this spring, in case you want to find out what they look like on something other than a computer screen.
