No More Music Videos On Youtube

Anyone else seen this? Saw it on the news yesterday, but hoped it wasn't true. Songwriters association wanted too much money from google to have rights for music videos on youtube.

I think it's stupid because where else can I watch music videos? I can't sit on the coach all day waiting for one song out of thirty to be one I like on music channels.

Smaller bands are losing, now where will we there music vids?

Opinions?

3 of the 4 major labels are the ones who are getting done by it, not everyone, as far as I'm aware?

PRS are just stopping all music videos (aka official ones) - be them Indie or Major, for the UK only.

If you want to use Youtube for music videos, use an american proxy.

Only user generated content is allowed...

Thankfully my music taste is generally between 300 and 20 years behind the times, so I can still watch all the Nik Kershaw I want...

StageVu?

All about waiting til tunes hit the Public Domain. ;)

Got to wait til 2037 til I can steal any Jaco Pastorius! :(

It's for the Official videos - so technically covers and originals (as long as you certify you are the copyright owner / agent) should still be allowed.

Spotify might be the way forward - some guys at Uni were talking about them maybe doing free videos at some point too, you could upload yours too. That would pretty much render youtube useless then..

Soon there is gonna be nothing but crap on youtube and no one is gonna use it! That is really shit!

All I can say is Vimeo. =D

Actually, it's not that bad. It's only official promotional video, so any user made videos with a song in arn't banned

The video isn't banned, but the music is removed, I've already seen Ben Travis' and Swindlehurst's videos have been affected by this.
