Google's Youtube To Ban UK Music Videos

Our Comments

The ban comes a few days after rumours of Google planning to take on MTV with the help of Universal emerged. Whether this is purely coincidental remains to be seen. The Performing Right Society is right to defend the rights of the performers and the copyright holders but it would be great if a free service could be maintained as well.
