major labels
"supported by an advertising revenue share model with record labels."

yeah right. good luck. they have such a great history of working with other companies trying to show their content without cutting a billion dollar check first

"our focus with YouTube is how to be partners while protecting our artists and ensuring they get paid"

since when did a major label care about artists getting paid? this is a crock. here's basically how it works...

record label gives artist $250,000. artist generates $10 million. music industry people (record label, publishing companies, lawyers, producers, studios) take $999,999.99 and the artist gets 1 cent. then the REAL kicker is the artist has to pay the $250,000 back to the record label.

slight fix
that $999,999.99 should be $9,999,999.99 (forgot a 9)

Why bother?
People have already posted a huge number of music video on there already. With everything from Band videos, concerts and fan made video, all it really needs a better way of orginised what is already there.

copyright
because it's copyrighted material and the record companies own the rights to them. like when you buy a dvd and it says you can't use the material on there for anything except private home viewing. same concept.

and the record companies do NOT play nice with others. see my other posts.
