Seriously is anyone using YouTube anymore? http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/7933565.stm already looking for other places for my future videos.

Warners have already hit it hard, if the other music videos go so will the audience - which is the only reason anyone posts to that litigious pile of shit still.

Interestingly though, the blame seems to be on YouTube, whereas PRS and others have sunk other ventures by asking for more money than anyone else - money that the artist never sees anyway. I guess PRS and Warners are just getting greedy - as usual.

I can see other video places now becoming prominent, like Vimeo, Hulu etc.

Yep the music industry hit it where it hurts, themselves. They haven't learned their lesson yet that pissing music fans off with these rules & regulations. Can we say closed record stores & less record sales folks.

I just read that Billy Corgan of The Smashing Pumpkins will go to Washington D.C. to testify that radio stations to pay artists the rights to play their recordings.

What's next? Asking MTV, VH-1, BET & cable music channels to pay for play music videos? Like the republican party, they sinking their own ship. Can you imagine this would happened back in the sixties & seventies? Ridiculous.
