The UK site of youtube is blocking all music videos over a row over royalities owned to artists. This will come in with immediate effect.

      I'm really surprised it has taken them this long.

      I think the Record Agencies in the UK are finally taking action.
      According to the beeb it's not copyright google are in trouble for but the artists agency that google claims want a 'silly' amount to continue to show music videos.
      Hopefully they come to an agreement as it'll kill youtube in the UK.

    they arent blocking them here, they are still showing the videos, just no sound on the copyrighted vids.

    this is silly in my opinion.

      In the BBC article it states that premium music videos (not all music videos) will be removed. To be honest I haven't a clue what premium means but I'd take a guess that it means more current music. They may still have some kind of licence for older music. We'll have to see.

    Copyright. I think this should be done in the US-Canadian version of YouTube.

      Tsk. Sometimes I enjoy watching a good music video on YouTube. Shame they couldn't have come to some kind of deal.

    Nice way for the record companies to eliminate visibility for their artists.

    They've got a track record of this... all the way back to fighting FM stereo radio because broadcasting in stereo might give pirate tape makers a master source with too good of sound quality to dupe the product.

    They've finally come around to it... I am afraid it's going to spread... fortunately by the time it gets to Poland I'll have listened to all of them
