Universal Music Links To Unauthorized, Soundless Eminem YouTube Clip From Its Own Website

Universal Music Group has a long history of bringing lawsuits upon music and video sharing services ( MySpace , Veoh and its investors , Grouper / Bolt.com , etc.), so it's kind of surprising to see them link to a clip of one of their biggest artists, rapper and producer Eminem, which has not been authorized by its copyright holders (i.e. Universal Music themselves). The link can be found on this January 7 news item on the UMG website about the 'leaking' of Eminem's newest track, and leads to this YouTube clip posted by a regular YouTube user. In case you were wondering, Universal Music Group has an official channel on the video sharing site which does not feature a clip for this particular track yet.
