Comments on: Price tag added to online music videos

After years treating them as promotional material, label Universal Music will start charging for musicians' videos.

As if streaming wasn't bad enough

So let me get this straight: they're going to charge for streaming video??! Oh that's good. I think streaming is the worst technology ever created. I don't know, maybe hundreds or thousands of people like to see chopped up videos end enjoy "rebuffering" messages that take forever when watching streaming media. I certainly don't like to hear a pause in my music every two seconds (and I have broadband). Videos seen by streaming were unbearable when they were free, what gonna happen now that they're charging for them? I am certainly not going to pay for chopped up music. But I guess two million people or so who go to these sites really like their chopped music. Enjoy!

I agree....

This is bullsh!t...I usually download music videos from Ares, but it looks like THATS going to be illegal too! I can usually stream videos pretty good, usually they never stop, so now I guess us consumers had better be prepared for even MORE ads on sites like MSN Music and Launch. And as for them charging MTV, it doesn't matter. It's not like they show any music videos anyway! Except in the early morning hours and on TRL, but you can't enjoy them on TRL for those retards "WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" ing.

Why not stream the video's for free, But charge if someone wants to download the video? There are some video's I would like to keep. Ex. Bonnie Mckee's Trouble, Kerry Harvick's cowgirls along with some videos from 70's and 80's.
You could charge .99 or 1.99 for a video.
