[Fwd: [ORG-discuss] PRS and YouTube to encourage filesharing]

[Tim Dobson-2]

Youtube will no longer carry music videos... a good thing?
or a bad thing?

I suspect a third party will emerge if a deal is not reached and clear
up the music video market from a server in $some_country...

thoughts?

YouTube licenses three out of four majors and a pile of indies through
PRS. Negotiations have failed. The official, record company sanctioned
YouTube videos are going dark as of 6pm Monday.

The younger teenager in the house uses YouTube as her personal
jukebox. Even for stuff she has on CD. I assume she's not the only one
in Britain who treats it this way. I wonder what will happen - you
think every kid who uses YouTube as their personal jukebox will just
stop listening to music?

Hmm, I often use youtube to listen to songs if somebody recommends me them. I don't think that people who use this solely to listen to music will stop listening - to be honest they are quite likely to turn to downloading their music illegally. I'm sure that other sites will soon emerge though.

Hopefully more people will use last.fm...
