. (antiMusic) Sony BMG is taking an unusual step forward in embracing the web. Unlike their contemporaries at Universal that took the boneheaded of step of trying to charge websites to help them promote their music, Sony is utilizing the "promo" value in promotional videos by setting up a new website, Musicbox Video, which offers music videos, interviews, behind-the-scenes footage and other video content of their artists.
