All Music Videos to be removed from You Tube Tonighti

JohnDotCom · 9th March 2009, 22:00

YouTube is blocking all premium music videos to UK users after failing to reach a new licensing agreement with the Performing Rights Society (RPS).

Thousands of Videos will be unavailable and removed later on Monday night.

Patrick Walker of YouTube's director of Video Partnerships, said that the move was regrettable.

Steve Porter, head of the PRS, said he was "outraged ... shocked and Disappointed" by YouTube's decision,
which will deprive millions of viewings, and loose Artists thousands of Pounds.

Its called being economical with the truth and making out you are the Good ones.
Shouldn't have asked for so much money, Greed!!!
now they won't get a penny.
Thats fair justice to me.
