I was stunned when I read this announcement, but majorly disappointed when I soon learned that for whatever reason, the video is only available from google if you are within the U.S. No Pearl Jam happiness in Halifax tonight.

The new music video for Pearl Jam’s “Life Wasted” was released today under the Creative Commons Attribution-Non-Commercial-NoDerivs license, so that people anywhere can legally copy, distribute, and share the clip. This is the first Pearl Jam video to be released in eight years and, as far as we know, the first video produced by a major label ever to be CC-licensed. Pearl Jam and J Records are offering the video as a free download at Google Video from today, May 19th, through May 24th. After May 24th, the clip will be made available for sale. For more information, check out PearlJam.com and CC’s press release.

    Grant, I think that your information about the video only being available in the US is incorrect. I live in the Netherlands and could download the video without any problems.
