"In fact, we had edited the video and sent a fresh copy, but they weren't happy with that," said Narendra Kusnur, the label's manager of international Artists and Repertoire.
The label has decided to circumvent the ban by streaming Hilton's video on a promotional Web site in partnership with a shampoo company.
"To the best of our knowledge, there are no rules yet regarding censorship on the 'Net so we plan to use the online platform to generate buzz," said EMI Virgin Marketing Manager Kaveri Khullar.
