Anyone thought of the benefits to Glee doing their cover? Sales coming the way of the artist. Lots of sales.
It might be a rip off, but the artist will get paid by it being a song to download in the coming weeks.
- azylman 14y agoThat would be true, if it was attributed. But it's not. The only thing people will be downloading from this will be the Glee cover.
- panacea 14y agoThat's why attribution is important. Edit: What azylman said.

- potatolicious 14y agoThis might be true if Glee gave credit to JoCo - linkbacks, promotion, etc. As it is he might see extra sales because he called them out. Not to mention the long tail effect of "mentions" is really, really limited, and drops off fast to boot. Any extra sales he sees will all be today and tomorrow. Only disingenuous used-car-salesman types would pretend that a footnote small-print mention is worth anything more than a sandwich.
- stch 14y agoI'm sure he appreciates all the iTunes downloads he'll get. You know, the one with "Glee cast" in the 'artist' field?
- benatkin 14y agoWell if you're right, Coulton could have his cake and eat it too. Not many Glee fans who become interested in Coulton's version will be discouraged just because of Coulton's legitimate griping. Either way, Coulton's strategy of helping his fans handle this is a sound one.
- unreal37 14y agoGlee put the song for sale on their iTunes account. They're getting the sales, not Coulton.
