What a piss off. That would drive me nuts if I created something, and then suddenly saw it on television.

Not cool.

That's ridiculous. I couldn't even imagine how pissed off I would get if someone I had worked with did something like this. If I were Ben I would rip into the film makers.

I had thought that commercial looked outrageously familiar.

Ben may not have any rights whatsoever to the video however.

The filmmakers may have had 100% rights to re-use the video, however I am not certain I am just saying.

Wow, that's crazy. It looks really similar. That has to be really frustrating.

I won't deny, it's a cool ad though. The camerawork matches an Intel chip commercial a lot better than it matched Such Great Heights in my opinion :P

Yeah I was wondering how the rights to that would work to, but if they pay someone to make a video for them I guess they are paying for the rights.

Either way I'm sure Ben wouldn't put something like that on an official website for everyone to see if he didn't know what he was talking about.

they didn't need permission, but it would have been nice if apple had at least consulted the band. with all the business they've been giving itunes, they could have at least deserved that. or had such great heights playing in the commercial. some sort of gesture.


I have promises to keep and miles to go before i sleep

permission or no permission that's bullshit. Think if everyone who's doing a video for directions went and sold the same concept to apple. It's bullshit and I don't like it. I don't like it at all.

haha, it's definatly not Ben looking into it too much. it's terribly similar...
the slow walking down the corridor, the piston like thing and the way they look at each other when they hand over the disc...
thats unbelievable.

Really? hahaha
I wouldn't be surprised if that is Apple's way of making up for the whole thing.
