The do-it-yourself Web emerges

The popular place for sharing home flicks aims top become the go-to spot for viewing mainstream music videos.
The story "YouTube talking to record labels on music videos" published August 15, 2006 at 5:20 AM is no longer available on CNET News.
Content from Reuters expires after 30 days.





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.

- 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.

- 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.
