PluggedIn: High quality music videos from popular artists
PluggedIn is a new music video site that doesn't have that problem because are all posted with the cooperation of 3 of the 4 major music studios: Universal, Sony BMG, and EMI. Warner hasn't signed on yet, but it could in the future. The site has about 10,000 videos and they're all high quality, with many available in HD video.
The biggest problem we have with the site is that like with most other 100% legal music sources, there's a good chance you won't be able to find what you're looking for. If you're looking for videos from Ashanti, Akon, or Nine Inch Nails, PluggedIn's got you covered. Mike Doughty or Tori Amos, not so much (although there is a Tom Jones video featuring Tori Amos on backing vocals available).
The service does have profile page for a ton of musicians, including artists with no videos available on the site. Users can view photos, read information about the artist, or purchase albums from Amazon. Users can also treat PluggedIn as a social networking site by creating profiles, marking favorite videos, and finding others with similar musical tastes.

LOL at the domain name pollution. That will be a SEO nightmare to distinguish themselves from the ultra conservative, religious people at:

( Who spend all day looking for areolae in the very music videos that pluggedin features! )
By design? Culture war fought via URLs and Google search results?

(I think almost all of) The content is only available for US and Canada citizens.
Oh, also for TOR or proxies users. ;)

Nice...as I sit here in Canada, it tells me that I can't view content, cause it's only available in the US and Canada. IP filtering at it's finest...

Well, it does detect I'm in the Netherlands, so that's a dead end for me...
