YouTube technically doesn't have to pay them a dime When YouTube sells ads attached to the music videos, they gave up their safe harbor provisions. So Warner is due compensation for YouTube hosting their music. | |

Copyright owners can freely distribute their own content without having to collect any money for it should that be what they want to do. We see examples of this with GPL licensed software. If Warner were to choose on its own to upload its own content to YouTube, it would be no different than anyone else uploading their own content to YouTube. In either situation, YouTube would not owe them anything.

united state | Not true. It depends on what the money made from advertising goes to. If it pays for KEEPING THE SITE RUNNING it's not taking away from safe harbor provisions.
The more you know. | |

So Warner is due compensation for YouTube hosting their music. True? I don't know if selling ads has anything to do with it, but it seems that they had a deal for <1¢ a song. So Safe-Harbor would be gone anyway.
I agree that Warner Bros. ought to control their own content and ultimately, if they can't strike a deal, they should be able to pull it. That's their rights under the current law.
But they ought not be quick in doing so -- the flip side (excuse the pun) is that people looking for a particular song are now more likely to turn to other methods, such as P2P file-sharing.
P2P file-sharing traffic is in a two-year low because
1. these songs are available free or inexpensively
2. users have the perception that these songs will remain available for free or inexpensively
Both of these are still true, but with YouTube no longer a channel, its not as true as it was last week.
I can't overestimate the value of #2 above -- we all know that these kids download more content than they consume, so it's not reason #1 but reason #2. Keeping content available is critical to the recipe in changing consumer behaviors toward a model that works for users and creators.

|  Warner & other labels look to create a Hulu for music videos
Warner Music Group -- now banned from YouTube following failed licensing negotiations -- isn't the only major record label tired of doing business with Google's video-sharing site.
A source familiar with the negotiations tells us that Warner and the three other majors -- Sony BMG, EMI, and Universal Music Group -- all think they could do better creating their own music video Web destinations and are in early talks about forming a joint venture similar in concept to Hulu, the increasingly popular TV-on-the-Web joint venture from News Corp and NBC Unviersal.
Suddenly in penny-pinching mode -- due to a new CFO, a rough economy and low Wall Street expectations -- Google is tired of paying for content that doesn't make it money. Google wants the labels to sign new deals heavy with revenue-sharing and light on licensing fees.
The current deals begin to expire early next year.
The labels agree that their content's future on the Web is ad-supported, but the $25,000 checks have them convinced they could do a better job selling sponsorships, pushing concert tickets, and music sales on their own site. Music companies may spurn YouTube altogether and go out and build their own web site.

i think the whole royalties thing with Youtube is TOTALLY being done wrong because Google is basicly providing mass video ads and is expected to pay the record company when the record company should be paying Google for hosting their advertisement(and dont try and tell me a music video isnt just a fancy ad for the album).

The MPAA doesn't deal with music, that would be the RIAA, and even they aren't involved.

| How many nails are we up to? Yet another nail in the entertainment industry's coffin. I estimate another year before they are screaming for a bailout.
I don't think Warner realizes that ordinary people can upload media to youtube illegally, including *their* movies/shows. Sure, they can serve a take down notice, but that costs them money and time. My question to you young DSLR folks is why Warner wouldn't want to just upload it legally and make some money on it? After all, isn't America just how to line your pockets with other people's money?
By killing this deal they are taking 2 steps backward in the world. Everything is going digital, no one wants the physical media anymore (well many people anyways). I hope they still aren't relying on CD sales for profit.... | |

| Fair compensation to me... "We simply cannot accept terms that fail to appropriately and fairly compensate recording artists, songwriters, labels and publishers for the value they provide,"
OK, fine. Come up with a way to pay the recording artists and songwriters directly. The others-- labels and publishers-- are fairly compensated for the "value" they provide at a price of free.

Warner Copyright Pigs back at the trough!
I read this article at the wrong time, right after I found myself in a bad mood. I got that way after looking at the specifications for a DVR that can copy recorded material on DVD's. It is so hobbled with DRM demanded by the copyright pigs that it is only good use is a door stop. Unfortunately the operating instructions reminded me that one reason for the transition to DTV was to give television stations the ability to sell subscription service. As time passes consumers will be subject to copyright pigs asking for payment for use of programming that consumers never had to pay for. Like the pigs at the trough the copyright holders will never have their hunger for compensation satisfied.
