led zeppelin comeback, fans battle warner bros records
December 12th, 2007 by Dave Allen

The entire show was a benefit for the Ahmet Ertegun Education Fund, which offers music students scholarships to universities in the United States, England, and Turkey, his homeland.

@billy, well they didn’t technically approach YouTube themselves but their proxy did - from the link you posted - “Rather, it was a company called GrayZone, which has been authorized to issue takedown notices on behalf of Warner.”
