^^ Yes probably, i joined the ayu ship in 2009 so i don't know how things were back then :p

But having her videos in full on youtube really helped me when i was discovering her music, it's sad that they decided to put short versions instead and have removed any pvs of hers uploaded by someone else, for example when i want a friend to listen to one of her songs i don't know how to proceed.

The Ayu fandom never really was able to stream much stuff...

For a while I used like Soundcloud and Grooveshark for Ayu previews but you can easily direct someone to iTunes Japan to look up tracks since just about everything is available to listen to.

Btw people still complain that they don't have full versions for her PVs but people forget that in Japan, unlike anywhere else they release CD+DVD and CD+blu-ray versions for their albums/singles and the companies probably think it would hurt their sales a lot..
Remember that these versions sell way more than the CD onlys and they are what keeping Japan the 2nd biggest music markets. They also give multiple versions choices for each album/single, that's probably why.

I myself would like to see full versions there though.
I don't think it would hurt sales at all. I even think the opposite would be the case. Personally I never bother to watch short ver. of PVs. I don't check an artist out if I can't watch full versions and I would never buy a CD+DVD version when I don't know what the whole product will be like.
And for comparison because he is also under avex: Acid Blach Cherry's latest album is charting for 7 weeks now and has sold 138,345 by now. He has full ver. of his PVs on his official youtube channel. His sales are pretty great compared to others and Ayu could just dream of selling more than 100k of an album anymore.

Regarding what ayumisrael and chibi-chan said, I don't think casual listeners would buy the DVD version of an album. I think the DVD is something fans would buy and most fans would probably buy it regardless of the content, maybe even just for the sake of collection it. I feel like the DVD is something that only fans really care about.
Which is why I think uploading full PVs would not do much damage. It might even encourage listeners to buy the full song so they would not have to stream it.

I wonder what sorts of PVs we'd have gotten if she hadn't done the Maro thing.

I think without Maro she would not be inspired for some songs or performances

Sooooo true. There would be so many more views if Avex got with the times and just allowed the full PVs.
