Warner Pulls Videos From YouTube
Feels they're not getting fair payment...
Negotiations between Warner Music and YouTube have broken down, the music giant pulling its videos from YouTube over the weekend after complaining that they weren't being fairly compensated. "We simply cannot accept terms that fail to appropriately and fairly compensate recording artists, songwriters, labels and publishers for the value they provide," Warner said in a prepared statement. Techdirt argues that Warner Music should be happy they're getting paid anything, given that safe harbor provisions mean that YouTube technically doesn't have to pay them a dime.
