I memory serves me right, Ed was asked to come over and sing the song by the CameraPlanet people who ripped Overcome off of a demo they had lying around and used if for their video earlier. Ed nor the band tried to connect the song to 9/11, other people did. Instead they gave the song away for free and donated the money from the single to 9/11 relief funds. I don't see anything wrong here.

Exactly! The way Gertjan described it, is exactly what I've always heard. And don't forget: radiostations started to play the song because they thought it would fit. Back than Live was only the maker of the song, that had nothing to with 9/11 yet.

And making money by means of the video? Yeah, maybe. Maybe it worked posiive for their single sales. But that means making only more money for the 9/11 relief funds etc. What's wrong with that!

Damn!, it's one of Live's biggest and best selling hits, and the song that finally did something in their own country, finally...and what did they do? > they gave their money away! But still people are bitching about this.

Kinda sad!
